How healthy is it to eat like the competitors?

When I watch those eating competitions, the only thing that comes to mind is "yuck".

How does one stay healthy eating 50 eggs with yolk? Won't that create some serious problems?

Same with 50 someodd hotdogs and stuff like that.
 
No, it is only during the competition that you can't puke it up.

Downing 50 1/2 wieners and buns in 12 minutes, Kobayashi bested his own previous world record by half a dog and bun. But amidst the victory, a controversy as thick as mustard left a bad taste in the mouths of some fellow competitors.

As he stuffed his last bite in at the 12 minute mark, Kobayashi allegedly started to, um, lose his lunch.

?I saw it ? it was coming out of his nose and the sides of his mouth,? said Eric ?Badlands? Booker, who sat next to Kobayashi and finished a distant second with 26 dogs and buns. ?Then he pushed it back in.?

Contest rules disqualify any participant who vomits during the competition. Officials confirmed that a ?Roman Incident? ? as it is known in competitive eating circles ? did occur. A judge said that bits of dog, bun and mucus could be seen briefly emerging from Kobayashi?s nose before he apparently managed to snort all of it back in.

Officials defended their decision to ignore the alleged infraction and certify him as this year?s top dog.

?It?s not considered a Roman Incident unless something hits the table,? said George Shea, a spokesperson for the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), which sponsors the annual event. ?And it happened after the 12 minute mark anyway.?

Kobayashi denied the regurgitation allegations.

No, it's perfectly healthy to eat 50 eggs and 97 hot dogs in one sitting.
