I can eat approximately four pieces of pizza or two sandwiches (one if it's a big sandwich) at one meal. I'm 5'10" 125lbs.

Biggest was coq au vin with 3 chicken legs+thighs and about 1kg of vegetables like carrots, onions, shrooms, etc. and 150grams of brown rice. Dessert was a litre of yoghurt with fruits and honey. All together, about 3 kgs of food in less than an hour.

I can rarely eat a whole "normal American sized" meal no matter what it is. I eat slowly and chew thoroughly. By pure volume I can probably eat the most when it's pizza, but I can only get through maybe half a large if I'm starving, and it takes me like an hour. I also forget/put off/blow off eating a lot of the time if I'm busy or it seems like too much work to get/make food. I'm sure it's not very healthy, but I'm still here.

This is true, J is maybe the slowest eater in the world.

If slow eating was an olympic event... He might be bigger than Phelps.

it seems as we age, our metabolism begins to slow down and we eat less. i remember when i was able to take down an xl pizza by myself (i know, disgusting) but now, i can barely do a medium. perhaps i'm just out of shape.

Admittedly, this is from two years or so ago, when I was lifting much heavier than I do now. At McDonalds:

3 Double Cheeseburgers
2 McChickens
2 Medium Fries
1 Apple Pie

... and whatever my ex didn't finish. We did this about once or month for a while. That may not be the most food posted so far, but it's definitely the most calories.

EDIT: Not sure if those were medium fries... probably small. It's the bag off the dollar menu (as you can see, I don't order anything that's not on it).

This sounds like what I have for lunch every day.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I usually have bacon cheeseburgers instead of McChickens, and I don't have the apple pie. though today I did have an ice cream cone.

I am impressed. Do you still have testicles?

(Seriously, how much do you weigh?)
