The Mystery 10,000 Calorie Challenge! | Twins vs. FREE Food?!

Over the last couple of months we’ve started experimenting with using our abnormally large stomach capacities and general love for food to create different styles of eating content outside of massive food challenges. While it’s been a total blast eating and ranking unreasonable amounts of fast food desserts and performing blinded folded side by side comparisons of similar products, when opportunity comes knocking who are we to turn it away? So, after one of our amazing subscribers, Robert, offered to fund a good ol' 10,000 calorie challenge, we decided to get back in the game and take on a combined total of 21,000 calories in the fan favorite “Mystery” style challenge!
It was a fun and unexpected video for us to pull out this week and we want to give a HUGE thank you to Robert for his support and for helping make this one possible.
We hope y’all enjoy this week’s food challenge and please be sure to give it a ‘like’ and subscribe to the channel for lots of fun food content to come!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Q: How do you not gain weight?
Well, we are currently intentionally gaining weight but here’s a quick answer to how we managed to do weekly food challenges for a year and a half without gaining it:
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training tossed in) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these challenges. The calories consumed in a food challenge are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a challenge but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our love for endurance sports and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, we are only able to produce one piece of quality content with our current schedules. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within the food challenge genre and we’re constantly experimenting & trying to improve upon our style to make our channel/challenges a unique experience. This channel in particular will most likely always primarily revolve around food challenges but, if this ever became a legitimate source of income and we were able to focus our full attention towards creating content, our goal would be to start a second channel to offer more of a look into that side of our lives. So, for now, food challenges are the name of the game.

I hate it unfortunately

I love that you guys don’t do challenges every single video anymore and also you do not force yourself to push a video out weekly. Don’t get me wrong, I love your challenges but the other videos are just as fun. But I do have one big question: Where in the world did you get that cannoli pie from? I need to try it!!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks, Jeannette! It’s a lot of fun for us to switch things up and hopefully with time people will appreciate the variety 🙏🙏 The Cannoli Pie was purchased at Stop & Shop! 🤤🤤

You guys are killing it! I can see you guys blowing up very soon. Maybe consider making a video of what you do to prepare for these eating challenges! I’m sure your viewers would love to see something like that.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks, Bryce! Maybe someday, but food videos are what we have fun making, so we doubt much else will be done on this channel. Especially because we have normal lives and invest all of our free time in them. That said, there’s no content there though. We don’t prepare for them. We simply have very large stomach capacities and only put them to the test on video. Literally the last year and a half of videos is a documentation of our growth as eaters lol. As talked about on IG recently too, we don’t follow a specific diet or diet structure and have both recently been sidelined from running due to injury.

Didn’t actually post this one to the IG fam yet!

Seriously so kind of him to fund this piece of content 😃😃 So cool. Also worked out cause it’s been a while since the last mystery video and they’re a lot of fun for us as well!!

What a fun surprise. You guys still got it! A lot of neat items. I never once heard of a cannoli pie. Speaking of which, walmart just came out with a cookie pie and a brownie batter pie. Im skeptical of them though. I think their just dressed up chocolate creme pies but every time I see something new at Walmart bakery my first thought is, I wonder if Pete and Nate would like that, lol. Excited to see how many seasonal items you bring in the coming weeks.

Another supremely enjoyable video, Takedown Twins! Loved this one. Just curious, how long on average does it take to edit one of your videos? Your guys' content is some of the most well-edited and clean I've seen in the food-related KZbin world. Keep it up!!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Dang! Thank you SO much, Shane! We seriously appreciate those kind words 🙏 It varies drastically from video to video tbh. Pete creates all of our visuals 100% from scratch (no templates) and Nate does the extremely tedious retiming, integration of Pete’s work, audio/music and the other video editing tasks, so it can get to be a pretty lengthy process depending on how much info we decide to incorporate into a particular video or the duration of a video. All that to say, we definitely both have to invest at least a few hours a day into the creative process and it has easily become a part time (sometimes nearly full time) job for us 😆 lol! It’s a passion project though, so the investment is worth it especially to have a viewing experience we don’t think exists on any other channel 🙏

[@victoriahayden2961]

Some great choices! The pumpkin 🎃 round looked really yummy. Glad you had something savoury though!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

So glad you enjoyed it, Sofia! We definitely did enjoy it. 10,000 calories isn’t much of a challenge for us, so it was pretty fun right through to the end 😁 luckily 10k was all Robert challenged us to so we still called it a challenge… when we make a capacity challenge for ourselves we only believe it’s appropriate to label it as such if it’s TRULY challenging for us which puts us out 😆 we think it’s ridiculous when foodtubers create capacity challenges for themselves they know are well within their capabilities. Unless you’re trying to see if you can do it within a particular amount of time, a capacity challenge needs to truly challenge your capacity in our opinion. Just some clarity on that whole topic 😁 Much love!

Glad to see you back, guys. I've been feeling the same way with my challenges. Maybe I shouldn't take your advice and take a step back. I always shoot for the moon and fail more times than I succeed.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Eeeeyy good to be back! It’s definitely tough to find the balance with food challenges. You want to push yourself because that’s the only way to grow, but pushing too far too often can just make life miserable. We’d encourage you to assess where you’re currently at and where you seem to be failing (maybe at a certain weight of food or at a particular amount of sugar or eating time etc.) and do challenges that are barely past that point. Slow growth is definitely ideal. Don’t kill yourself and don’t be afraid of taking a step back from time to time. It’s like any sport. We found ourselves comparing ourselves too closely to people who have been doing it for MANY years longer than we have… it’s senseless, really. Follow your own path and do your own thing, man 😎 Much love!

Lol no problem. Yeah we don’t have to train for competitions like pros and only do eating videos once a week so that’d be a completely unnecessary practice as calories in vs calories (averaged for the week) is a much healthier and safer approach.

I have a cheat day once every 2-3 weeks and I feel like trash afterwards and I hit about 6-8k calories, How do you guys feel after these and how long does it take till you're feeling ok again?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

10k isn’t bad for us. Only about a day of feeling pretty run down and it’s business as usual at this point. When we first started doing them it hit us MUCH harder than it does these days. Now it usually takes around 14-15k to have us feeling like garbage for longer than a day. It varies greatly on the type of food though. If we each eat 10-15k of chocolate bars or foods with a really long shelf life we feel significantly worse. Baked goods and things with a shorter shelf life don’t hit us the same and we don’t feel awful mentally the day after. Just a bit weighed down and bloated. It also depends on if you’re doing it all in one shot or not. Putting back 10-15k in a day is eeeasssy for us. But in an hour like in our challenge videos? That’s a lot harder on the digestive system and can be tougher to recover from. Again, depending on the type food 🙏

I definitely prefer the chocolate to PB ratio in Reese's pumpkin items to the regular... something about it

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Given the calorie content vs the regular cups, we’re assuming that the PB to chocolate ratio is similar to the Big Cup which we’ve always wanted them to make a white creme big cup so it kinda fills that void! 😁😁 also, the consistency even of the milk chocolate pumpkin seems to be softer and smoother? We’ll stop rambling now but all that to say, we couldn’t agree more!

[@mariuswinkler6572]

I know you love the variety of delicious food, but if you had to eat only one item for the rest of your life, what would be your choice Pete & Nate?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Narrowing down to one item is too hard lol. This is as close as we’re getting for now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqGyY6p7mdp1Zqs

If I get paid for my food challenge ...I wouldn't say no either ...hahah

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Extremely kind of him and grateful for it! More so a funded menu than actually getting paid to do a food challenge but yeah, can’t turn that down! 😃😃

[@samcook_food]

😁 You haven’t lost your touch! Didn’t doubt you for a second! Hmm… subscribers funding and donating food for challenges. My fellow international fans and I could send over some regional exclusives for a taste test, if you want? 🤔

[@TheTakedownTwins]

😃😃 Thanks, Sam! Unfortunately we can’t fit a P.O. Box in to our monthly expenses at the moment, but it’s definitely something we’ve considered and hope to do when money isn’t as tight for sure! We’d love to make a video of it someday 😎 Thanks for asking! We’ll keep ya’ll updated on when we’ve got somewhere to send thing 😁 Much love!

[@Fairygal999]

What are you guys thinking of when y'all are chewing😂😂

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Usually what most people are thinking of when indulging… “damn this is good” 😆😆. We usually try to break down the food in our heads though because we like to review what we eat and explain why it’s great or not when we’re done eating. When doing a video that is genuinely challenging and really difficult to get through though (not the case here) you’re usually just trying to coach yourself through getting it down until you either get the job done or decide you have to throw in the towel.

You can’t stay away from The Cheesecake Factory right😝?? That’s why I’m gonna pick Pate🤛🏼, but Nate can you save some Blondies for me🥲🥲 And honestly I was searching for a short film for my students, but now I’m thinking about shearing your videos with them😝😝💙💙💙!!

Lol! We really can’t! They’ve made their way into two mystery challenges in a row now 😆😆 Much love!

[@markmartin8211]

After eating close to 20,000 calories, you felt suddenly better all due to a eating can of Pringles! lol😆

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Haha! Sounds We know it sounds crazy, but especially with a menu of this size (the weight being a bit lower than our stomachs can handle), we certainly won’t “get full” but the richness will definitely start to get to us. So those pringles really did help undo that feeling you get when something is just too decadent to consume a lot of 🙌

[@jimothy_7255]

Nice

probably this question been asked a lot of times but how do you guys stay skinny?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Answer is located at the bottom of the video’s description box 👍👍

[@malaika_muskan]

do u guys fast forward ur videos ?

[@TheTakedownTwins]

The eating portions of the videos are retimed, yes. If any human moved or chewed like that in real-time that’d be kinda freaky lol

Yayyyyy 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@cinnapika8892]

Japanese potato chips are bland💦 That's why I like Doritos and Pringles👍 The sour cream onion flavor is exceptional😘

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Doritos are our favorite! So good 😎 pringles are hit or miss, but we enjoy them nonetheless 😁

Recently did in one of our videos 👍 Excellent. Not many options here in the states though.

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Believe we tried them in our Twin Eat Off released right before the fast food desserts video. We seriously appreciate that offer! We want to set up a PO Box where people can send stuff but just don’t have the money to add it into our monthly expenses yet. Will absolutely update everyone on when we can make that happen!

Thanks for answering so fast Oh that one of course i've seen that video (actually been pretty Close to whatch it again)😍 That's an great idea - already looking Forward to that🤤 Btw great video (completly forgot to mention 😅)

Holiday Reese’s have more pb that’s why! FYI

Yeah, we’re huge fans of the Reese’s Big Cup which have loads of PB and always wished they’d make a version using their white creme. Guess the white pumpkins fill that void 😁

[@sawyervanantwerp7892]

Loved it one suggestion is to show calories of each individual thing you are eating!

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Thanks, Sawyer! The amount of time we spend making these and the amount of information we put into our videos is unparalleled already. They need not get any more cluttered and confusing than they can already be to some viewers. Individual item calories are widely available on the internet if one is curious enough 🙏

[@colleen5235]

10k calories is like nothing for you guys

[@bippinvolthalyappadu3589]

Did Nate gain weight because his face looks kinda bigger or is it just me🥴

[@TheTakedownTwins]

Yup! Both have over summer. Talked about it on IG recently. Not endurance training for the first time in years as a result of injury and choosing to eat more on the day to day outside of videos. Been many sizes in our lives (much bigger and even smaller) than people are used to seeing us on YT so we’re not afraid of change.
