1
The other day I was being productive, watching a hot dog eating contest, and noticed something.
2
All the top eaters are pretty healthy.
3
I mean, just look at the lean faces on the Major League Eating leaderboards.
4
I wanted to find out how somebody who regularly eats over 10 ,000 calories a day looks like this.
5
Many speculate about a darker side to their career.
6
But these crazy gobblers give those of us with scary appetites hope.
7
And again, I don't have like this crazy metabolism of the gods.
8
So how are they doing it?
9
And should we use any of their tactics ourselves?
10
Strangely, almost all competitive eaters have deep backgrounds in health and fitness.
11
Matt Stoney studied nutrition.
12
Santel, a registered nutritionist.
13
Neo, a registered nutritionist.
14
Katina eats kilos, a background in bodybuilding.
15
Beer meets food, an impressive fitness background.
16
And it's not a coincidence.
17
With this sport, getting your nutritional approach right can quite literally be a matter of life and death.
18
Here's a CT scan of a competitive eater's stomach after they were rushed to hospital.
19
You can see the food pushing their organs around.
20
It's a risky escapade.
21
This is 69 hot dog buns, 69 hot dogs and over two quarts of water.
22
This is what it looks like inside the human body.
23
Surely no human is able to stomach this without ruptures, right?
24
The rock on which he stands is not a rock, it is the United States of America!
25
This is Joey Chestnut.
26
He just devoured 71 hot dogs in under 10 minutes, making him the greatest competitive eater in history.
27
A man of unhinged powers, and one of his secrets?
28
Maintaining a healthy weight.
29
I do gain weight and it's a battle.
30
I have to be aware of it because if I lose track of my long -term calorie intake, I gain weight and then I start losing contests.
31
I hate losing.
32
Coincidentally, this is the ideal body according to competitive eaters.
33
A short neck, long torso and wider build.
34
But this doesn't mean fat.
35
The belt of fat theory suggests that belly fat restricts the stomach's abilities to expand, limiting the amount of food the competitive eater can ingest.
36
Excessive fat gain also limits the contestant's ability to breathe or shoveling food down their gullet.
37
If I wasn't taking care of myself, if I wasn't physically in great shape, then I wouldn't be able to physically compete at a high level.
38
Okay, so we know that saying someone will fit is a requirement for elite competitive eating.
39
This doesn't explain how the muckbanger Hungry Fat Chick ended up with off -the -chart obesity, while competitive eaters maintain an ideal weight.
40
Many believe it's the difference between a slow and a fast metabolism.
41
competitive eating comment sections are full of people dissatisfied with their slow metabolisms
42
but according to competitive eaters their metabolisms aren't anything special there are
43
so many misconceptions about food challenges and food challengers one of them is
44
that we've got some magic metabolisms and
45
that we're just able to eat loads of food all of the time it is not the case.
46
Matt Stoney has an estimated BMR of 1 ,516 calories per day, Mickey Sudo 1 ,223 calories,
47
and Beard Meets Food 1 ,623 calories.
48
According to studies, two people of the exact same height, weight, age, sex, body composition, and lifestyle could have energy needs
49
that differ by 800 calories per day this could be the difference between a 1100
50
or a 1900 calorie bmr some people are genetically gifted with a faster metabolism
51
but it's rare
52
and it doesn't mean they can swallow sausages all day without
53
getting fat statistically most people within 200 calories of their estimates
54
this is why competitive eaters get frustrated with people talking about the metabolism like it's some ancestral curse all the
55
while they put a lot of effort into losing fat it does not matter how fast your metabolism is
56
if you eat in excess of calories consistently you're going to gain weight also believe it
57
or not i do have an average metabolism
58
but there's something many do to speed up their metabolisms weightlifting it's estimated
59
that by gaining 10 kilograms of muscle losing 10 kilograms of
60
fat your bmr increases by 85 calories per day giving you
61
an extra 31 000 calories to to play with over the year.
62
Although I'm not some muscle -bound juice head, what mass is on my body is mostly muscle.
63
So to sustain my body weight and the activity level, in addition to keeping me alive, my body needs more calories than somebody who doesn't weight train.
64
Competitive eaters may burn a few hundred more calories per day, but there's no way this could ever offset weekly 10 ,000 calorie challenges.
65
So I wanted to find out how they eat outside of competitions.
66
is most of what i prepare at home is raw fruits
67
fresh vegetables a lot of lean meats routine after contests is
68
to eat super high fiber i focus a lot on vegetables maybe like a lean
69
or a fat free dairy otherwise i kind of just fill
70
the gaps with whatever else works i am massively into eating clean and then
71
when it's time to throw down then i go in on the food my daily diet consists of a lot of vegetables,
72
fruits, low -fat protein, but a lot of micro -dense foods and I in fact actually enjoy eating like salads and broccoli, green beans, corn.
73
Healthy eating, great.
74
But how exactly is this helping them lose weight?
75
Your body does reflect what you do over 90 % of the time
76
and I am probably a competitive eater four days of every month.
77
The average competitive eater doesn't eat like this all the time.
78
In fact, most do around one challenge per week.
79
The single, most important factor and I can't stress this enough
80
when it comes to gaining weight or losing weight is the amount of calories you consume over time.
81
This makes it a simple equation.
82
To maintain my weight I need to eat roughly 18 to 20 ,000 calories per week
83
so if I film a restaurant challenge that's say 7 ,000 calories I know
84
that throughout the rest of the week I have 11 ,000 calories to play with.
85
On their off days they'll drop their calories to prevent weight gain.
86
To If all they're larger than average stomachs, with few calories, they volume eat.
87
It lets me eat a large amount of food without having to consume a large amount of calories.
88
Take this example.
89
This is what 1 ,000 calories of strawberries looks like next to 1 ,000 calories of donuts.
90
Competitive eaters opt for very high volume foods to stay sane while in a calorie deficit.
91
Two and a quarter pounds of salad.
92
It's rich in protein, really good macros basically I'm eating this entire meal for roughly a thousand calories.
93
The fiber content also helps keep competitive eaters full and the micronutrients help to keep their bodies healthier.
94
If you want to do food challenges you better love to learn vegetables and fruit.
95
Many including Matt Stoney supplement with whey protein and consume high protein diets.
96
Protein not only helps prevent muscle loss and a calorie deficit
97
but it's the most filling macronutrient per calorie so a high protein diet can help you lose weight.
98
If we come back to the diagram that shows how we burn our calories, there's a section called TEF, which stands for the thermic effect of food.
99
It's the amount of calories your body burns breaking down foods.
100
It typically takes more energy to break down protein in comparison to the other macronutrients.
101
This seems to also be the case for nutritious whole foods versus ultra processed foods.
102
So the thermic effect of eating a high protein diet with lots of whole foods is another very small factor, helping competitive eaters maintain a healthy weight.
103
But let's not get distracted.
104
It all comes down to calorie balance.
105
Makes sense.
106
But if this is the case, what about practices before competitions?
107
And many comments suggesting they have more disordered habits.
108
We'll get to that.
109
But first, we need to explore their cardio, because they must do tons of it, right?
110
Surprisingly, many competitive eaters do very little cardio for weight loss.
111
Cardio is overrated for burning calories for most people, which is why it represents the smallest amount of calories burned per day on this chart.
112
It's not at all necessary for fat loss.
113
That's not to say competitive eaters don't do cardio.
114
I'm usually doing between three to four hours of actual training and that's endurance training, so.
115
Yasir Saleem is another competitive eater and endurance athlete.
116
His energy expenditure chart probably looks more like this.
117
This is how the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, was able to maintain his weight eating 8 to 10 ,000 calories per day.
118
It was brutal.
119
But aggressively swimming after a 10 ,000 calorie curry is likely to result in embarrassment and a ban from your leisure centre.
120
Even if you run an extra 10 kilometres every day, it's only an extra 600 -ish calories, the equivalent of this much peanut butter, which is why most competitive eaters,
121
if they do any cardio at all, are more moderate, with Joey Chestner claiming to run two to three times per
122
week to help them push the boundaries for human hot dog consumption.
123
Doing cardio helps me with my breathing during a contest, but I don't depend on cardio to burn calories necessarily.
124
I try to get into a calorie deficit.
125
Because while it's a helpful fat loss tool, competitive eaters like to use a much more sustainable fat loss accelerator.
126
But I don't do anything any crazier than going for regular walks outside for cardio.
127
I walk a lot, like I walk like a lot every day.
128
NEAT represents a large proportion of the calories we burn per day.
129
Non -exercise activity thermogenesis is a calorie you burn from fidgeting, walking, and any activity that is an exercise.
130
there's a reason in bodybuilding
131
when the goal is to get incredibly lean most people increase their step count it's low intensity
132
so can be done after a big challenge for long periods and
133
while multitasking making it easy to fit into daily life i
134
fucking hate high intensity interval training that's why i walk for
135
a long long time this is all pretty healthy stuff
136
so what about all the comments suggesting that competitive eaters are hiding their true weight loss methods from the public.
137
It's me trading on an eating disorder for money, is what the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog champion, Patrick Bertoletti, admitted to in an interview.
138
It's no surprise why psychiatrists suggest that there's an overlap between competitive eaters and eating disorders,
139
and why so many people in the comment section suspect they all throw up after competitions.
140
He says I heard you
141
and basically all competitive eaters make yourself sick after the challenge any truth to
142
that um i definitely don't think there is any truth to
143
that i think some people probably do but i think you can't really base
144
that on all competitive eaters many do it intentionally
145
but this is a dangerous assumption the best competitive eaters do digest the food people always assume
146
that um you're going to puke after that
147
but for my rule of thumb is i don't induce like
148
if it comes out it comes out we don't go induce
149
vomiting i never have vomited after any of these food challenges besides
150
when i tried to chug a gallon of milk
151
while they may digest the food many fast for long periods
152
of time cost about 40 to do a practice i'm not eating anything for two days leading up to that practice
153
and then afterwards i'm not eating very much i'm eating vegetables
154
this is how they're able to fit a few practice runs
155
in each month all with the supervision of medical professionals one
156
of my biggest splurges is my doctor all the top eaters
157
are pretty healthy the healthier you are the harder you can push your body.
158
This is why most competitive eaters try to keep their weight down sustainably and their approach is clearly effective.
159
To use Beard Mead's food as an example
160
if we give him a generous BMR estimate of 1 ,900 calories he walks a lot
161
so let's put his knee at 600 calories.
162
He eats a lot of protein and healthy foods
163
but also does some challenges so let's put his thermic effective food at 300 calories.
164
And lastly he trains in the gym putting his exercise activity thermogenesis about 200 calories per day.
165
Each day, he burns around 3 ,000 calories, which is 21 ,000 calories per week.
166
If he does one 8 ,000 calorie challenge a week, he now needs to eat under 2 ,167 calories to avoid weight gain without doing anything too crazy.
167
Hopefully it helps some people out, and like I said, you can kind of apply this knowledge, you know, at a less extreme level if you like.
168
This is the exact process I use myself, to stay in decent shape while still enjoying food just with more moderation, so I don't have to spend most of my days in a calorie deficit.
169
This is what matters, not whether you're a carnivore, keto, or fruitarian.
170
And it doesn't matter if you can't run, have a slow metabolism, or a rampant appetite.
171
There's something everyone can do.
172
The point is, if competitive eaters can stay in decent shape, you can do so too, while still enjoying the foods you like.
173
If you want to see what happens when a once -fit tribal island did the exact opposite of everything in this video, I recommend this video next.
174
I'll see you next time.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
