"This one is a biggie for me, something I have been looking forward to," Gorske told the Fond du Lac Reporter.

Gorske said he has been eating Big Macs everyday since 1972 and broke the word record in 2016 when he ate his 28,788th burger.

"I love the patties, I love the sauce, I can't get enough of it," Gorske told the New York Post.

Gorske said there have been only eight days where he hasn't eaten a Big Mac since 1972 and his mission hasn't had any ill effects on his health.

"I'm healthy as a horse. I weigh 190 pounds, and my cholesterol is 165," he said. "I'm better than normal."

According to the McDonald's website, one Big Mac contains 540 calories, 28 grams of fat, 46 grams of carbohydrates and 25 grams of protein.
