How hungry are you?

And I thought I occasionally got ravenous

A New Jersey mother who is trying to become the fattest woman in the world sat down for a 30,000-calorie Christmas dinner over the weekend.

 

......

 

She ate two 25-pound turkeys, two maple-glazed hams, 15 lbs. of potatoes, five loaves of bread, 5 lbs. of herb stuffing, four pints of gravy, four pints of cranberry dressing and 20 lbs. of vegetables.

 

 

After that main course, Simpson also ate a "salad" of marshmallows, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies.

 

I'm not actually sure how to react to it :blink:

And in the UK she'd be expecting the NHS to bail her out health wise and the tax payer to fund her bed ridden existence. FWIW my opinion is cut them off and let them fend for themselves. I don't see anyone queueing up to pay for my food and rent should I not be able to work.

 

couldnt have said that better myself!

omg lol how can someone eat that much? My stomach nearly explodes after a large Big Mac meal!

 

I once ate 2 XL bacon double cheeseburger meals from burger king. I was still feeling a little peckish after the first so I made a sarcy remark to my friends. One of them said to go and get another one, which then sort of became a challenge. I couldn't back down so I went for it, scoffed the lot too other than the 2nd XL coke. The girl that challenged me to do it said she felt sick watching me :innocent:

 

Oh, I've had a 52oz steak too (Sizzlers challenge). Did that in as well :D

Yup. 6 pack? Pah! I've got a full keg.

 

Although, now that I think of it, when I did the BK challenge I was an apprentice. At that time you would have found more meat on a butchers pencil. I was heavily into training and my bodyfat was at 3%. I used to eat constant crap but would never put a lb on thanks to my metabolism, training and sports.

 

How times have changed :D

Was it really that low? 3% is extreme pro-bodybuilder territory, hard to sustain for any length of time, usually attained with substantial chemical assistance, and desperately unhealthy.

 

A genuine 5-6% bodyfat looks shockingly ripped.

 

I'm sure you did some measurements to arrive at that figure, but when you get very lean, it gets increasingly difficult to get accurate estimates.

 

Edit to add: these estimates of various levels of bodyfat look pretty reasonable to me: http://www.play-musculation.com/t668-bf-body-fat-masse-grasse-estimation-visuelle

Yeah, it wasn't down to training or trying to be like that though. I was just seriously skinny. I had the cavity in my chest and all that. The reason for the training was to bulk myself up a bit. Being 6'4" and seriously skinny meant that I would look like drip of water if I didn't get some muscle on me. I was always fit & active when I was younger, strong as an ox too but I didn't look it. if I was an average height I would have had an above average build. On my large frame I just looked drawn though.

 

When I was training I looked like swampthing as I would have veins EVERYWHERE lol.

 

Edit: Oh, I was measured in the gym/fitness club. Not sure how accurate those measurements are but that's what they came out with. They did a caliper test and something on my thumb? A couple of the guys at the gym who were properly ripped hit in about 8 iirc. I looked nothing like those guys though lol.

Must have been incredibly frustrating trying to add size with a metabolism like that.

 

It didn't really bother me till my mid teens. I did try everything though. In the end lazyness and lager turned out to be the "fix". Once I left school there was no PE which meant no basketball (massive fan, played the weekends, lunchtimes and most nights). Fitness went out the window and nightclubs and drinking flew in. I noticed a massive change around 21 as before when I ate my weight in junk (sweets, biscuits, fizzy juice, crisps, every fat filled food you could imagine and no salad or veg) I wouldn't gain anything, whereas now I was properly gaining weight.

 

I started hitting the gym again and built up like I would have expected before (slower metabolism). I was quite happy but I changed out vodka drinks with pints of lager, ditched the gym after a couple of years and the rest is history :D

Did you know BK will add an extra burger for just 80p to a whopper? And that there doesn't seem to be a limit to that.

 

It was quite gross watching a friend eat a 5xburger bacon double cheeseburger whopper. I was waiting for him to get lockjaw
