I did one better than that when in my early 20's. Mind you, I could eat more than micheal phelps at that age, and never gained any weight.

Used to have what they called a Truck Drivers special, if you could eat it all (think it was in 2 hours but might have been one) it was free. It was Huge for a steak (special back then, there was no internet yet lol...finding steaks over 4 pounds was pretty freaking rare.

I believe it was only 60 oz, but came with (some really good) steak fries (about a pound).

I didn't just eat it though, I ordered a second one after finishing the first. I didn't finish the second but I sure got far into it.

I can still put away alot of steak. Someone saying they get sick after 10 oz is crazy to me, I seriously won't buy steaks when eating out that are not at least a pound....but back before covid, even at almost 50 at the time, I would still eat 6-10 steaks at buffets (rib eye/prime rib) along with a ton of freaking crab legs and a bunch of sides, bread (especially that yum fried bried) etc.

I never did any eating competitions but I sure would have been good at em, all while not gaining any weight at all till 27 and then just a bit if I didn't work out/exercise much. I could also go a year straight playing an MMO (did the year before meeting my wife in fact) without getting out of shape and literally run a mile or two right afterwards and when mountain climbing within 6 months of stopping (played 3k.org 14 1/2 hours straight for a year back in the mid 90's. Stopped cold turkey and started socializing/met my wife within 6 months and was married within a year).

I guess I was very lucky in a few ways, although I ended up diabetic and that is probably partially due to eating so many carbs (I would get 2 large pizzas for myself, my 5 other core friends would split 1 large between them etc). I also drank a ton of soda though so shrug, coulda been that.
