Bodybuilding TikToker Claims He Eats 100 Eggs a Day to Stay Swole (Take That, Cool Hand Luke)

Movie fans who desperately wish they were macho know this classic line from Cool Hand Luke by heart: “Nobody can eat 50 eggs.” But anyone who watched the 1967 jailhouse film starring Paul Newman knows Cool Hand Luke absolutely can (if they’re hard-boiled). Well, now a bodybuilding TikToker is putting Cool Hand Luke to shame by gobbling up a whopping 100 eggs a day.

His name is Fernando Torraca (or, as he calls himself, @thekingofdietofficial) and a video he recently posted of his eating routine went viral. He’s seen standing barechested in his kitchen, cracking eggs – over 80 broken shells are visible but in the text overlay, he claims to eat 100 daily.

“They say Roids but they don’t see my struggles,” the text reads. “It’s not easy [to] eat 100 eggs daily.”

The audio over the video is that of none other than Don Draper of Mad Men. In the audio, actor Jon Hamm’s voice says, “You’re born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts, but I never forget.”

Now, you’ll note that the bodybuilding TikToker in question seems to dump his egg yolks into the sink, indicating that he’s actually separating the yolks from the whites and isn’t in fact eating 100 whole eggs, but the whites from 100 eggs. (His heart certainly breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that.)

Some viewers were a bit baffled by the TikToker’s methods.

“That’s 50 eggs. You be leaving behind the most important part of the egg lol,” one commented.

“wait serious question, why not just buy egg whites?” another asked.

“Bro at least save those yolks for a nice hollandaise sauce or something,” an obvious foodie opined.

Is eating 100 egg whites bad for your body? Who knows. But one commenter was certainly concerned about The King of Diet’s kitchen appliances. “You know how bad that is for your drain?” he asked.

Sigh. We wonder what Cool Hand Luke would think about this TikToker and his “healthy” eating habits. We’re pretty sure it’d be along the lines of, “Real men eat yolks.”
