YouTube is a huge platform. Whether you’re interested in vegan recipes, learning how to cook, or even turning a vegetable into an instrument, it’s got it all. You’ve probably had moments where you were so starving you could eat a whole buffet out of business. But did you know there are people who could actually (probably) do that? Here are 5 YouTubers who really know how to pack it in.

Peter Czerwinski, aka Furious Pete, holds numerous Guinness World Records for his eating stunts, including the fastest time to eat 15 Ferrero Rochers and a whole 12-inch pizza. Besides consuming incredible amounts of food, his YouTube channel also focuses on fitness — a good combination if you ask me.
2. LA Beast

Kevin Strahle, better known as LA Beast, is probably one of the funniest professional competitive eaters on YouTube. He has no limits to what he does, which results in hilarious and entertaining videos. The most memorable one was when he ate 5 pounds of sugarless Haribo gummy bears, and the (terrible) aftermath. Also, the picture above is him before attempting to eat a cactus cheesesteak. You heard me.
3. Matt Stonie

Although he may be smaller than his competitors, he’s definitely at the top of the game. His YouTube channel consists of him eating enormous amounts of food in the blink of an eye, including eating over 60 pizza rolls in one minute, gulfing down 25 big macs in one sitting, and beating Joey Chestnut at the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest with a whopping 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Randy Santel is a professional eater from Missouri who endeavors to promote restaurant food challenges around the world, as well as win them all. His challenges include eating a 64-oz. steak, a 5-pound gyro, and the world’s largest breakfast, which involves 10 sausages, 10 eggs, 10 slices of toast, 10 pieces of bacon, and 5 hash browns — and that isn’t even the whole thing.
5. Yuka Kinoshita

Yuka is a tiny person with a big appetite and an even bigger stomach. She doesn’t eat solely for the purpose of beating the clock but does it because she wants to. Who wouldn’t want to be able to eat an exorbitant amount of their favorite food, like eating over 1000 calories of donuts?
The next time you feel like eating a massive amount of food, why not attempt a good old food challenge? These YouTubers with massive appetites can give you some tips.
