We all know about how much food Michael Phelps eats during training, but what if you were a reporter for a local newspaper. Would you really need to consume as much as Phelps to get through a rough day of journalism? Jason Mack, Sports Editor at The Independent Collegian is about to find out!

Jason Mack, Sports Editor at The Independent Collegian attempts the Michael Phelps 12,000-calorie Diet for a day.

If this is how they do things normally in South Africa, I've gots to get myself over there! MeatOrc ran into this one at one of his local establishments, and it wasn't even advertised as anything special! 4-burgers-in-one.... now you're talking...

From: Email from MeatOrc

This burger wasn't even advertised as anything special. It contained four patties, two steaks, six rashers of bacon, an omelette, a lot of cheese and salad and pickles. The bun looks like four but is infact one whole piece.

SupersizedMeals in Japan! There's a place called Coco's that serves up an extremely hot Japanese curry. Adam Foutz laughs at your Japanese curry, and raises you with some hiccups! Will he finish the Level 10 curry? Has anyone else heard of this super hot curry?

Adam Foutz and I went to Coco's to see if he could eat a whole 300grams of Coco's level 10 curry. Did he do it? Go ahead and watch. It's pretty funny =P We're Marines out in Japan, and Coco's is a really popular and delicious spot to get your grub on, if you're even in Okinawa, stop by, "Cocoichi" to be exact.

The two brothers Trevor and Joel both attempt the Day's Inn Cottage Cafe's 3lb Burger Challenge. The Challenge: Eat the burger in 60 minutes or less. The Prize: Get it FREE! Will they be able to tackle this mighty burger with Mom watching?

Joel and Trevor tackle the 3-lb. Burger Challenge. Will they be able to finish?

I had posted a video on youtube that was more for comedic purposes. My boss had challenged me to a Fatburger 24oz eating challenge, including fries and a drink, which I completed and posted online. It was meant to be funny and I made a fake training montage out of it and everything. Some people started complaining that it wasn't a good enough challenge and that they could do better, even though it was just a joke.

I decided to go to In-N-Out that day and do a better challenge. I know there's a few 20x20 challenges out there, but those are only with one bun, and no fries or shake. I decided to do 3 4x4s, plus the fries and a Neapolitan shake. The buns, fries and shake add up immensely, but it was so delicious. I feel for those that haven't enjoyed the awesomeness that is In-N-Out. I'm yet to receive a response from anybody who complained about my previous challenge.

What are friends for? Fiona Chan's wanted a birthday present.... a food present to be exact. And what better gift than a Double Pounder from McDonalds? Taking two McNuggets boxes to hold the beast, Fiona's friend set out on a quest to conquer the Double Pounder. Will they succeed?

Went last night to my favorite torta truck in Portland, La Catrina, and got some pics. Here's a mixed torta -- pastor and carnitas -- with a little dripping avocado and chile de arbol salsas. This is their torta chica -- small sandwich at less than 6 bucks:

Hmm... I really don't see what the big deal is. That's got nothing on some of the other sandwiches on this site ;)

For F**k's sake, is it really necessary to put THAT much ham in a sandwich? Why not just put a cooked pig on the counter and hand everyone forks. I know American portions are large...but thats just obscene.

The Challenge: To eat all of the Burger King Value Menu items in under 5 minutes. Is Chikaranese up to the challenge?

From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwq_ah5cbCg

I usually eat slow so I thought I would practice some speed eating. My goal was to eat the Burger King Value Menu Items in Under 5 Minutes. Five minutes is still not that fast, but it is a good challenge for me since I don't eat too fast. Eventually I would like to be able to eat the Value Menu faster than the time it takes for BK's full "i am man song" to complete (anyone wanna give that challenge a try? It's beyond my current ability but I would love to watch).

Grandpa Al loves a big sandwich, wonder how he'd handle these ones! This (I believe, please confirm if you know!) is the selection of fine Supersized sandwiches from Chick and Ruth's Deli, Annapolis, MD. The Super Duper Colossal Ruben comes in at $39.99. That's a whole lotta meat!
