Super Size Me, is a documentary written, directed, and based off of the experiences of Morgan Spurlock. The documentary takes place over thirty days. Spurlock eats only McDonald's food during this time period, and documents the results. His three meals a day consisted of eating every item on the McDonald's menu during the thirty day period, and each time he would get his meal super sized if the option was offered.

The documentary takes you through the changes that Spurlock underwent due to his food choices. Before starting the experiment he was thoroughly checked by three doctors and was in outstanding health. The doctors also continued to monitor him during the thirty day time period. Spurlock also consulted with an exercise physiologist and a dietitian. The Exercise Physiologist also concluded that his health and fitness levels were above average. He limited himself to walking under two and a half miles each day, and did not do any other forms of exercise.

During the experiment, Spurlock consumed approximately 5,000 calories per day. He gained twenty four and a half pounds during the thirty days. There were also other adverse effects on his health. Losing the weight took him over fourteen months. Spurlock's experiment started because of the increasing amount of obesity in society. Super Size Me was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Featurehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/plotsummary
