16LB CAKE CHALLENGE REMATCH! | 56 Slices of Red Velvet, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Oreo Mousse Cake & more!

For our first food challenge of 2021, we ambitiously set out to conquer our previously failed 16lb cake challenge of 2020!
Coming in at well over 20,000 calories and precisely 56 slices of daunting perfection, we brought in some heavy hitters from a hefty triple-layer 4.75lb Red Velvet cake to an Oreo Mousse cake, Limoncello Mascarpone cake, and the almighty 4.5lb Pumpkin Praline Cheesecake.
While many seemed unsurprised by our shortcoming during our first attempt at this preposterous food challenge, we’ve been pushing our limits hard ever since and felt it was time to prove to ourselves, the world, and to any 16.25lb table of cake that The Takedown Twins never back down from a fight!
We hope you enjoy this failed food challenge rematch and we can’t wait to bring y’all some wild new content in 2021.
Happy New Year!
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:

Q: How do you not get fat?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training tosses 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 4 hour 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 utilized 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.

Q: Why don’t you feature more restaurants for your challenges?
A: Seeing we are still a smaller channel, working within a budget is essential to ensure we can continue making these videos. While buying from restaurants would be a lot of fun, shopping at grocery stores and wholesale clubs is a far more cost effective way of doing food challenges. For instance, our 22,000 calorie Pop-Tart challenge cost roughly $30 where as our 22,000 calorie Cheesecake Factory video ran us $150. While we’ll still splurge on the occasional restaurant challenge and hope to one day make enough money from this to feature more restaurant menus for y’all, we’ve gotta ball on a budget until that day comes.
