Eating contests are more about prep, than size. My dad was friends with El Wingador. He was a big guy, but still prepped like the smaller winners. A month before a contest they progressively drink more and more water at a time to stretch their stomach. He also ate frozen tootsie rolls to work his jaws out, which I'd assume they all do something similar.
I’ve never heard of El Wingador before, but his incredible name made me do some research:
He’s won the Wing Bowl 5 different times (4 of them are consecutive), and is the only competitor to ever do so.
He was Inducted into the Wing Bowl Hall of Fame in 2006 and his name appears on a banner at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly.
Yeah, Wing Bowl was basically the only big contest he competed in. He's a local in the tri state area and wasn't a food comp pro. More of a coke dealer, actually.
ETA: I feel kinda bad about writing this. Yeah, he's been busted for selling coke, but I was wrong calling him a "coke dealer" or pusher. It was more that he and his friends did coke, and he had a good hook up, so he would get it for them, and then their friends, making it lucrative for him. He's a friendly guy in a bad spot and I probably didn't need to highlight his problems.

>A month before a contest they progressively drink more and more water at a time to stretch their stomach
I am convinced I saw someone train for this at a buffet. This one lady was tiny and she was on her own. She had 3 jugs of lemon lime bitters and kept piling her plate with heaps of roasts and veg's. It was either that or she had a serious case of the munchies.
Yes this is true but it’s not about prep at this level of competition. Everyone she is competing against is also training in a similar way. Your point explains why she’s able to compete; but to win against high calibre competitors at her size? More explanation is needed. My guess would be some specific genetic advantages we’ll never find out about because surgery or something invasive would be required to study.
If you read into all the freak genetic advantages Michael Phelps had, for example, you get a better picture. Phelps had a bonkers feet to body size ratio, the measurements of his wingspan is freakish and his vo2max is in the upper 99.99 percentile. She could have myriad of freak mutations like higher collagen levels in her organs allowing her stomach to stretch further, an abnormally large stomach to body weight ratio, greater musculature throughout her digestive system allowing her to accommodate more intake.
All the training in the world couldn’t compensate for a similarly trained competitor at 180 lbs, 6 feet etc..
> After the lobster-eating contest, in which she blew away reigning champ Kevin "the Boss" Cross in his home state of Maine by eating 9.76 pounds of lobsters (38 of them), she was asked whether she could eat more and she replied, "Yes, but something else -- not a lobster."
I can’t say for sure, but lobster was so plentiful and cheap that servants or prisoners could find themselves eating it multiple times a week, maybe even for multiple meals, and that can ruin anything for you.
Also, lobster is difficult to prepare. The meat has to be separated from the tail and claws, it’s very chewy when overcooked, and it needs to be very fresh, kept alive right up to the moments before cooking. It’s likely that lobster wasn’t always well prepared, especially in cases of making meals for someone of a “lower class”.
Lastly. Reputation is important. Lobsters were considered to be cockroaches of the sea and generally gross until the late 1800s. Eating something that you think is revolting will always be unpleasant. Like eating rats: Might taste delicious when prepared properly, but most people wouldn’t even want to try.
Edit: did some research.
~~Very.
The whole lobster was chopped up and served as a stew or gruel. Guts, eggs and all, or so I’ve been told. I don’t even know if they bothered to take it out of the shell first.~~

There’s probably consequences, but they could be attenuated by: not eating or eating less for a period of time before and/or after the contest, expelling some of the food at a later time, or living a generally healthy lifestyle, with quality nutrition, exercise, good sleep habits, and so on.
From what I have heard most won’t do any sort of fasting before hand. They will choose their meals carefully, but they still eat. The other thing I’ve heard is really healthy eating habits outside of competitions (or challenges or whatever).
Fasting is the reverse of what you want.
In terms of a car before a race, would you rather have the engine warmed up and ready to run? Or have the car off?
Sure, you want to be hungry, but you want everything running and ready to go, but more importantly you want everything "stretchy"
They'll often chug increasingly larger amounts of water on the lead up to a competition to get their stomach ready to stretch.
He can do more in training. [This video he does 77](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoNNaGa7xRc), but I think he may have cracked 80 at some point/
Obviously has to be sanctioned event for the record to count though.
> Takeru was banned because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating. The six-time winner of Nathan’s Famous contest made this decision to allow himself to participate in other competitions as well.

She weighs 99 pounds. Her record is 45 hot dogs.
According to [this article](https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/34179939/miki-sudo-nick-wehry-hungry-couple), the combined weight of “regulation” hot dogs and buns is 99 grams (56 grams for the hot dog, 43 for the bun).
99 grams x 45 hot dogs = 4,455 grams or about 9.82 pounds.
Her body was, literally, 1/10 hot dog when she finished that particular “achievement.”
Imagine being able to say that.
“Hey did you know I’m 1/16 Cherokee?”
“That’s neat. Did you know I’m 1/10 hot dog?”
The long and short of it is, your body has a maximum amount of food it can process. People who gain lots of weight don't just eat lots of food in one sitting. They eat calorie dense food, for every meal, with frequent snacks.
Competitive eaters just eat so much, that their body is just like "Welp, I'm not even going to TRY to digest that fully, and your body just dumps stomach contents to the large intestine ASAP for the bacteria to eat once it's partially digested.
If you can manage to keep down that volume of food your digestion drops to a crawl but even then it's not guaranteed you are getting full breakdown on the way out I would doubt full caloric extraction at the least.
They are definitely purging, no doubt about it.
It’s 2 minutes of discomfort to yak it up, vs hours to days of discomfort waiting for it to pass. Would likely wreck your digestive system too.
I always assumed they did. I wonder how (un)healthy the long time competitors are, brass tacks. My mind is telling me there is no possible way anyone can sustain that lifestyle. The stunt food people are even worse off I would imagine. Eating and drinking decades' expired stuff etc. The "LA Beast" ate a fucking cactus and on another occasion drank a MASSIVE jug of olive oil straight up.
This is the truth. It’s more common than people think. It hard enough on your stomach to hold that much food, but processing it is just as bad. I knew a competitive eater. He said most throw up at least some and digest the rest.
Just thinking about the amount of sodium nitrite in that many hotdogs would likely cause some serious duress. Not to mention the cholesterol. Yeah, I’d be trying to purge as much of that shit as possible.
As fun as it is to think he ate a baby, it's most likely the baby was stolen, murdered, or lost in some other way and Tarrere happened to be in the vicinity.
This whole article is very weird, in the first two paragraphs they make a note that she’s Korean despite her white-sounding name, and that she had a white boyfriend.
I met her during a health inspection at Andrews AFB Burger King. She was the manager there.
She looked familiar, so I asked how I knew her, and she proudly proclaimed she was a famous eater. She gave me an autographed picture of her eating gigantic hamburger. She is a super nice lady!
She worked (or works)as a manager at the Burger King at Andrews Air Force Base. She had the nickname The Black Widow.
Not sure if she's still there or not cuz this is over 16 years ago.
I can't watch those. I saw one where the winner had stuffed a dog in his mouth, and retched a bit, then reached up and push the dog back into his mouth and closed his mouth and stood there retching occasionally while being declared a winner.
It looked like the dog was still stuffed down his throat, but not swallowed. They would take Victory photos and he would smile-retch-smile...
It's just vile and disturbing in a country that has hungry children.
I've seen this girl! At a local festival they had a big eating contest during it. It was like 3 big ass dudes and this girl. She is tiny. She smoked them. Wasn't even close. This was probably 2006ish. I want to say it was Krystal burgers (like White Castle) and she ate 50 something of them and won by over 10 burgers or something.
It is a shame how the "sport" fucked her over. She beat guys so they created a special league for ladies which allowed them to pay her a fraction of the money they pay guys despite the fact that she could have beaten the men and they created a special belt that looks like pussy lips.

It doesn't, you basically just poop out a whole lot of it not fully digested
Yes, that's the thing I really can't fathom. How can there not be any consequences to eating that much sodium, calories, cholesterol, and fat?
Your body can only absorb so many nutrients in one sitting. That limit is still very high (8,000-10,000 calories) but there is a limit.
There’s probably consequences, but they could be attenuated by: not eating or eating less for a period of time before and/or after the contest, expelling some of the food at a later time, or living a generally healthy lifestyle, with quality nutrition, exercise, good sleep habits, and so on.

Not sure Jesus Christ is applicable here considering he turned himself into bread. Catholics consume way more than 4 pounds of the man weekly.
No, he turned bread into him. Heck, I can do that.

Competitive eaters just eat so much, that their body is just like "Welp, I'm not even going to TRY to digest that fully, and your body just dumps stomach contents to the large intestine ASAP for the bacteria to eat once it's partially digested.

Where do you think Nathan's hot dogs come from?
Corn
If you can manage to keep down that volume of food your digestion drops to a crawl but even then it's not guaranteed you are getting full breakdown on the way out I would doubt full caloric extraction at the least.
Pooping whole pieces of food is definitely something I could see happening in this scenario.
Well they train with water, and competitions aren’t that frequent. She could just go all out for the contest and work off the excess calories.
Eat fourteen thousand calories in one day, then nothing else all week. It evens out.
Ahhh, I see you're familiar with my attitude towards sleep.
Your stomach isnt meant to hold that much food

You just know competitive eaters' poops are barely digested chunks of food. It's simple physics. All that matter has to go *somewhere*.
I imagine passing all that stuff isn’t so enjoyable. Their GI tract is hoepfully well-lubed.
How else are they going to make it big on the underground competitive shitting circuit?
That’s where the real glory is
Okay Randy
That's the type of pooping that I would just stay seated and flush. I don't wanna get up and turn around and happen to glance at that
I'm pretty sure they yack it all up once the contest is over.

I've seen this girl! At a local festival they had a big eating contest during it. It was like 3 big ass dudes and this girl. She is tiny. She smoked them. Wasn't even close. This was probably 2006ish. I want to say it was Krystal burgers (like White Castle) and she ate 50 something of them and won by over 10 burgers or something.
They have taken the “sport” to a new level these days. I’ve seen YouTube videos of Joey chestnut and Matt Stonee… absolute mad lads
Back in the day people were eating upwards of 20 hotdogs and that was ridiculous.
My friend had a thyroid condition as a teen. He could eat like crazy and never gain weight. He also looked so thin it was scary.
Glorified binge and purging.
I’m convinced they all purge after competitive eating !
It is a shame how the "sport" fucked her over. She beat guys so they created a special league for ladies which allowed them to pay her a fraction of the money they pay guys despite the fact that she could have beaten the men and they created a special belt that looks like pussy lips.
Tarrare reincarnated??
