I know a female that wants to eat at least 6 because she’s a professional eater that works hard.

Not sure what is more impressive, Zermatt’s capacity or only weighing 64kg even with fasting between the 5-7kg eating challenges. Either way, Zermatt probably easily does 40+ HDB’s next July.

You think Zermatt is fasting between challenges to stay thin? Think again. He’s on the same diet as JWebb and Joel.

Zermatt is doing more than ‘fasting’ between challenges to stay skinny. At least some of the top eaters have been honest about it but others just try to hide the fact. The math just doesn’t add up as each challenge he does is somewhere between 5-10k calories and his maintenance for his frame is probably 2200-2300 daily. As far as Webby and Joel probably 3200 and 2700 respectively as Joel is about average height. Look at some of the veteran eaters like Randy Santel that does tours and then has to diet and exercise for months to offset the weight. Randy also has a large frame at 6’5 which helps but it’s all about perspective
