Can you give us an idea how much you weigh or something and how tall you are?


I am 6 foot and at most of those eating sessions I was about 240-250 pounds. Now I'm 225 but also packed on quite a bit of muscle. I also don't eat like I used to. My last junkfood pigout was probably 3 years ago.

mmm ... Arbys cheesy beefs .....

I've done the 5 for 5 thing before ... and eaten a large curly fries and Jamocca shake with it .... it's not too much food really.

There is a Gyro place near where my mom lives, and I've eaten two of their "beltbuster" gyros (they are about 16oz each), an Italian Beef sandwich, and deep fried mushrooms one one sitting.

At Subway, I've eaten three Foot-Long subs back to back to back in under 30 minutes quite a few times (back when I used to swim and lift weights a lot, I was a thin one at only 220 pounds at that time)

At Steakhouses I usually order the largest steak on the menu, and eat bread, salad, soup, appetizer, and finnish my meal, then have desert .....

When I grill at home I sometimes eat 4 x 1/3 pound top sirloin cheeseburgers

I usually only eat one or two meals per day (yea I know, it's bad for me, but I am lazy and also like feasts vs little tiny 3 bite meals)

Anybody ever here of "El Famous Burrito" ... I've eaten two of their "football sized" burritos in one sitting before ... that probably caused the worst stomache aches of any mass eating events I've done.

When I was in the 5th grade, I ate a large Little Caesar's pizza, 32oz drink, and a bag of breadsticks. :p

I can't eat much anymore. I've lost a lot of weight and am trying my best to stay away from the bad fast foods.

I've done 2-3 lbs of steak in a single sitting on a couple of occasions, but that's about it. Steak is probably the only food I like enough to really gorge myself on.

Serious question.

How do all these little skinny guys or gals eat so much? If you have seen any of these eating contests on TV or in the news, the winner is usually less than 150 pounds!

because of the absence of fat on their bodies, they're stomach has far more room to expand.

Uhm...24oz of burgers in one sitting...

I'm not sure on this one b/c it was in China, but ~3lbs of beef

3 'huge' chicken tubs at KFC + 2 chicken sandwiches + 3 orders of fries (this was dinner after the 3lbs of beef for lunch)

30oz prime rib

40 large dumplings (roughly the same volume, maybe a little smaller...than an altoid's tin)

those are the ones i remember

We sat there and ate for about 3 hours. The manager came up and told us they were shutting down the buffet and that it was time for us to leave. He wasn't rude about it, but he wasn't going to lose any more money on us.

Well see, now that you said they were shutting down, it doesn't sound as bad as you originally made it to be.

When you said you guys were kicked out, it reminded me of that simpsons ep where Homer was kicked out of that seafood grill.

Waiter <in a crackly adolescent voice>: Captain! That man ate all our shrimp!
Captain: "ARRRRRRRR, Tis no man...Tis a remorseless eatin' machine!"

"So what happened after you were kicked out of the so called 'all-you-can-eat' buffet?"

"We went home."

"Mrs. Simpson, need I remind you that you are under oath?"

"We drove around until 3 a.m. looking for another all-you-can-eat fish restaurant."

"And when you couldn't find one?"

"...we went fishing."
