The most frequently asked question eating entertainers in the mukbang, food challenge, and competitive eating space receive is how they manage to eat so much food without getting fat like Nikocado Avocado.
While YouTube eaters like BeardMeatsFood, ErikTheElectric, Matt Stonie and others have cleared the air on this topic on a number of occasions, the questions about weight management continue to roll in with their ever-growing popularity.
Having a history with food challenges ourselves and still producing miscellaneous styles of food entertainment on our eating show, we’ve been the recipient of the same questions so we’ve compiled clips from some of the most beloved pro eaters to answer the question for us.
We know this is a very different style video than our typical episodes but we hope this helps demystify how over-indulging can be manageable without excessive weight gain.
Thanks for watching and we’ll see you soon!
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

Good message. I’m sure we’ve all noticed you guys don’t do big challenges anymore, and the truth is trying to live that way week in/week out is absolutely brutal. No doubt this is why Erik is the only YouTuber left doing huge calorie challenges regularly. Everyone else has either stopped making videos, or does restaurant challenges. There is a massive difference between doing an 8-10k calorie restaurant challenge weekly and trying to do 20k or even more calorie challenges. Huge respect to Erik for pulling it off, and to you guys and everyone else who has found a less intense approach that works for them.
Basically, they have 4 secrets: daily diet,daily walking(A LOT, like 4-5 hours walking) and daily lifting weights(main focus is to gain muscle mass) and weekly calorie maintenance(take note amount of calorie you take and burn)
The actual truth is they eat huge amounts then take laxatives and remove the weight from them.
Eric the Electric eats upwards of 20,000 calories in a challenge- he would have to practically fast the rest of the week. He has to puke. It's not like bulimia where they puke multiple times a day- puking once a week probably doesn't do too much damage
Bulimia, lets be honest here
Basically exercise bulimia and/or binge/restrict cycle. They're just eating disorders
Yeah sure you dont puke the 69 hotdogs you eated in 5 minutes with the wet buns
you cant eat 15,000 cals in a sitting from fast food and then wake up in the morning and run and eat salad, number one you feel like shit your heart is still way fucked up from that cycle of abuse. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys edit these videos to make it seem like they're eating all this food. they never show their actual meal plan just saying vegetables is very vague.
No Raina eats competitive everything everyday js. Debunk this cause she is living proof! 😂
Matt stonie goes gym? Where's the build bruv😂
I can understand why these pro's don't get fat, I would consider them bona-fide athletes. I was just wondering how it's physically possible for the human stomach to expand that much. It's not like a woman's womb. The calories don't concern me, it's the risk of damage to the stomach.
It helps to be YOUNG as well. We all know, (well, gen X'ers and older at least), that we could eat almost ANYTHING in any quantity, every single day, and not gain weight because we got a lot of exercise, and had very active lifestyles. No internet, jobs that required physical labor, lot's of outdoor sports/activities, and yes, back then, fat shaming was perfectly fine and even encouraged. The snowflakes today can't take it, and now we have an obesity epidemic. Well done liberals.
Thanks, this is very helpful
Should be the default video for anyone with an excuse for metabolism and diet. The answer is simple. You just have to do the damn work and embrace the suck.
None of them would probably admit it, but I’m sure that all of them throw up after leaving the restaurant.
They all left out the part of throwing up the food right after
So they’re incredibly dense people. But also like how long do you spend at the gym? I excersize and don’t eat much and I’m only getting bigger and denser. And I eat healthy.
They're puking up at least half of the competition food
This is bs because your stomach shrinks if you don't eat so many days. You can't just put 20,000 calories sized food inside that shrunken stomach without vomiting.
I hope you guys are healthy…. We want more videos but obviously not at the rate of your health
When I first saw your channel I was disappointed in myself that I didn't watch it Sooner because you guys are so underrated you guys are great the quality of the videos the pacing of the videos the food the device show everything is great and I don't know why you guys don't get great views….. I always watch on my TV so I never get to comment or like but today I came to comment on every single one of your videos because you guys deserve it
Is there a competitive eater with IBS.
I so want to do this but I am scared of inflamed gut.
The real answer is simple. After the video, they will vomit for 1 hour.
Honestly… eating nothing but veggies and plain chicken/fish multiple times a week sounds like a living hell.. Just skip lunch a few times a week and youll only be a little fat.
If I eat the low cal days and fast I gain weight. I still don’t get it.
I'm not even a competitive eater but I do this too. Weekly calories over daily calories 100%. I eat ridiculously healthy and low calorie most of the days and save up all my calories for special occasions, like birthdays. This week was my mom's birthday and I got to get a dozen donuts to share with her. Next week it's my birthday. And I'm still meeting, or below, my weekly calorie goal for weight loss.
There's a condition known as bulimia nervosa. A person eats a large amount of food and later vomit everything. That's why they don't get fat.
The fact that people believe this is funny. It’s called purging.
Hate crime. Cause this channel should have more subs.
They are lying pretty much all of them are expert purgers. I know someone with an eating disorder and uts udentical to what they do.
But lets do Math: When you eating 20 k calories every week. its impossible to not gain weight.
There’s no way it’s simply just calorie management.. the question is how do they eat so much food in one sitting. Not how they stay skinny.
the real question is how do I eat like its a cheat day everyday and still not look like a mountain of 💩?
Yeaaa just ate 3400 calories at a birthday challenge (lost ofc lol!) I was SUPERR big for like 2 weeks then my weight went back to normal but I actually lost more??? I was 138 but then I hopped on the scale I'm 136? Anyway, when I ate everything (no laxing I was out) I was 146
But still how can they eat so much food, so fast in one sitting without throwing up or getting sick? Someone please explain the science behind it??? 🤔
They eat a weeks worth of calories in one sitting and expect us to believe the rest of the week they just reduce their calorie intake and exercise?
Beard eats pretty often on his tours
