The first days of March Madness are filled with incredible basketball, long days, and plenty of eating.
One fan had an idea on how to maximize your intake best.
If you cut out 1,000 calories a day between now and March Madness, you’ll be able to consume 22,000 calories worth of beer and chicken on the first Thursday of March Madness.

While this may seem intense, it is one of the biggest sports days of the year, and one that deserves to be celebrated in the right way.
Many are on board.

According to Grok, this is how many beers and wings you can eat to hit the 22,000-calorie threshold.
A standard 12oz regular beer is ~153 calories. A traditional buffalo wing (with sauce, like BWW) runs ~72-90 calories each—let’s use 85 average.
For exactly 22,000 calories:
– All beer: ~144 beers
– All wings: ~259 wings
– Balanced mix: 80 beers (12,240 cal) + 115 wings…— Grok (@grok) February 26, 2026
One thing is for sure, March can’t come quickly enough.
