Professional speed eating

54 Hot dogs in 12min - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37cV3ngiJiM that's almost 17,000 calories in 12min

25 bottles of milk in 5min - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvtZ963uQXI

40 sushi and 140 gyoza in 5min41sec - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=van2s5hSLSU

He also have the record for 96 hamburgers in 8min, 41 lobsters in 10min, 9kg of rice in 30min, 83 dumplings in 8min, etc.

This guy got rich only by being in freaking speed eating competitions all the time. I can't believe people actually pay only to watch those competitions =_=

Anyway I posted that in "Other Games" section because his competitions are on ESPN so this mean they are actually considered as a sport and I bet some bookmakers actually take bets on how much he eat >.<

I havnt seen the videos but I assume you are referring to Kobiyashi. That guy is a crazy eater, and he is only like 115 pounds!

He use to only weigh 125 like for his first hotdog contest, but has since gained weight. I think I remember he is now 145.

On his website it says he is 75 kg, dunno how many pounds that is. He trains a lot tho, he probably have to if he want to burn all these calories, on his website he claims his body mass is under 6% fat

I've seen pics of his abs, and they put most fitness models to shame. Pretty amazing for a guy that eats 50 hot dogs at a time.

75 kg is 150 lbs.
