I wasn't taking notes, but I'm pretty sure the end credits say that he 
only supersized 9 times during the month. I did notice that when they 
showed his food there was often a dessert visible, and the nutritionist 
asks him at one point to get the granola instead of the ice cream, 
which suggests that he was eating desserts regularly. I think he was 
eating excessive amounts on purpose -- not just "eating at McDonald's 
for 30 days" but "eating as much as possible at McDonald's for 30 days."

Also he makes a point of cutting back his physical activity to almost 
nothing, making the calorie imbalance even worse. No wonder by the end 
he can barely walk up a flight of stairs. It's pretty clear that he 
took things to extremes, but that doesn't invalidate the point that 
eating lots of junk food is bad for you.
