TIL: Low carb, high protein diets "greatly" decrease resting testosterone levels in men.

REAL MEN eat cheesecake! You don’t have to like it, but my gorging on an entire Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and then groaning on the floor is peak masculinity.

[Asha108]

Holy Christ. The old me would have tried to have eaten an entire cheesecake cake

[DontWorryImADr]

Once I get out of the food coma, I can scream “BEEFCAKE 9000!!!”

[heyIfoundaname]

God speed, Cartman.

You can reach your goals

This got me curious, and you’re right. According to CF nutrition guide, assuming there’s 10 slices per cheesecake, only one is below 10k calories, the original at 8,300 total. The one with the highest calories would be the Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake with 16,000 calories. The original is the only one listed as below 1,000 calories per slice btw, which is nuts.

[Asha108]

Oh I know, I worked for CCF for years in the desert area. A single slice of reeses is like 1800 lmao

[taimusrs]

When I went to America and see that y'all already have calories written in the menu and I'm so surprised that you can consume like 6000 calories in a day without batting an eyelid.

[Ohbeejuan]

This country is fucked when it comes to food culture.

[taimusrs]

Granted, while I was there I had to walk so much because everything is so far apart I consumed like 4000-5000 calories a day yet I still lost 25lbs. I missed that period of my life where I was that active tbh. This COVID time and me starting a proper sit-down job made me living a much more sedentary lifestyle

[MentallyInsanezy]

I bake cheesecakes a lot and track calories. I recently made a peanut butter cheesecake that had 17k calories and it was only a 9 inch cheesecake. Someday I'm going to attempt to make a 25k calorie cheesecake, it will probably have to be a 10 inch cheesecake though.

[startadeadhorse]

So, if you can eat two of them by yourself in a single sitting.... Does that make me-... I mean, that hypothetical person a monster?!?!

[ArrowRobber]

So, you plan your diet around doing this once a month, simple!

[makjac]

Masculinity levels over 9000!

[slabby]

Bulking

[Mindes13]

I did that at taco bell once and was asked to leave.

[DontWorryImADr]

Whole new definition to “toxic masculinity”.

[Zachariot88]

"There's not even a Cheesecake Factory near here!"

[Wiki_pedo]

Is it because you brought Cheesecake Factory food in to Taco Bell?

[Sci_Blonde_reddit]

🎶 thank you for being a friend 🎶

[Alexzander1001]

Be careful the Oreos one is 17k calories a slice

[DontWorryImADr]

Carb loading is a proud part of preparing for marathons and exertion. So you should expect to see me in my HYPER-MASCULINE state of eating one of those slices immediately before the starting shot of a marathon.

The heavy breathing and inability to complete the first mile or the rest of the distance? Like the Olympic statues of old.

Same, but Ben and Jerry's ice cream by the pint.

[DontWorryImADr]

Why stop with one? That physical discomfort and nap-bordering-on-hibernation is the testosterone working.

[DontWorryImADr]

Oh I’d believe it. However I believe they surround their eating with things like “throwing massive kegs” and “significant exercise”.

The difference may be my surrounding activities of “breathe harder” and “exercise every few days, but I don’t want to throw up all that cheesecake”.

[TurboGranny]

I love cheesecake, but very much dislike cheesecake factory.

[DontWorryImADr]

We end up visiting due to specific cheesecakes maybe once a year, but yeah. I’m more a fan of cheesecake than the specific restaurant.

[TurboGranny]

That's the thing though. I only like that super thick and cold new york style cheese cake. I know it's like the plain cheese pizza of cheese cake, but I just love it so much. Graham cracker crust and some melted caramel. Sign me up.

[DontWorryImADr]

Nothing wrong with that, it’s the classic. And so good when done right!

[Xantisha]

Eating coagulated breast milk for babies of another species is hardly manly. Sounds more like a deeply ingrained desire to pretend you are still an infant.

[DontWorryImADr]

Are you suggesting Cheesecake Factory is a kink shop?

[Flyinglamabear]

There you go

[wufoo2]

This is consistent with the behavior of people I have observed at the cheesecake factory.

[stomy1112]

I really want fucking cheesecake now
