Monster Shake — 1,035 Calories
Stoltman jump-started his traveling appetite with a monster-sized breakfast shake that combined high quantities of sugar, dairy, fat, and protein. This is the concoction he blended:
- 180 grams mixed berries
- 100 grams vanilla ice cream
- 300 ml apple juice
- Two bananas
- 450 grams of Skyr yogurt
- Two scoops of collagen protein powder
- Ice cubes
Stoltman gulped down his morning smoothie and found his next meal at Inverness Airport in Dalcross, Scotland.
Meal Two — 662 Calories
After checking in for his flight, Stoltman ate two big sausages in bread rolls absent condiments.
Meal Three — 1,608 Calories
Stoltman’s next meal was a huge English-style breakfast in the transit airport lounge. It featured:
- Eggs
- Hash Browns
- Beans
- Sausages
- Two bread rolls
- One pastry
- Mixed fruit
With just over 3,000 calories and nowhere near his daily target, Stoltman went on an airport snack haul for some easy, sweet calories.
Snack — 958 Calories
Stoltman’s hunt returned his favorite Galaxy caramel chocolate and a ready-to-drink Naked brand berry smoothie. Shortly after, Stoltman munched on a bag of crisps (potato chips) before boarding his flight.
Meals Four & Five — 580 Calories | 2,075 Calories
Ham and cheese pasta with a side of pineapple started Stoltman’s flight journey. While it’s nothing to write home about, the smorgasbord that was his next meal is noteworthy.
Halfway to his calorie target, Stoltman plowed through the following:
- Chicken caesar salad with rolls
- Truffle chicken w/ vegetables
- Cheese and crackers
- Pretzels and chocolate
Meal Six — 1,000 Calories
Stoltman scarfed down a chicken and bacon pasta off-camera, adding 1,000 calories to his count. The editing quickly transitioned to his last in-flight meal.
Meal Seven — 1,050 Calories
The journey concluded with an English tradition of tea and sweets before landing on U.S. soil. This put Stoltman just under 9,000 calories for the day, with one more meal left after arriving at his hotel.
Meal Eight — 2,150 Calories
Once settled in, Stoltman ordered a double cheeseburger with a side of his favorite Haribo Unicorn gummies, bumping his total daily calorie count to 11,118.
Stoltman finished in seventh place overall at the 2024 SMoE. The contest was won by Mitchell Hooper. 2018 WSM Hafthor Björnsson ranked as the runner-up.
