->''"This... this girl's stomach is a Cosmos unto itself! It's connected to the void of the universe!"''
-->-- '''Eating Contest Judge''' (on Fuu), ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo''

Characters, who may or may not be fat, but either way regularly eat enough for an entire football team, often devastating the whole table -- and sometimes entire restaurants -- in their insatiable hunger. They often use a speed-eating technique that makes food seem to vanish spontaneously from the plate. Primarily a [[ComedyTropes comedy trope]], a common sight gag with these kinds of characters in cartoons or anime is having piles upon piles of plates and bowls stack up as the character chows down. CutASliceTakeTheRest is a common joke involving this type of character, as is IllTakeTwoBeersToo.

{{Extreme Omnivore}}s and [[PersonalityPowers people with eating related powers]] tend to be Big Eaters by default. Large characters, such as the BigFun and BoisterousBruiser, tend to be this trope. In fact, the FatComicRelief is almost always a Big Eater. However, Big Eaters who [[NeverGetsFat remain thin despite their habits]] are considered the best examples.

Don't interrupt a Big Eater's meal, or worse, [[LostFoodGrievance try to steal their food]], as this is a [[BerserkButton very good way to piss the character off]]...

Although it's often PlayedForLaughs, serious examples and deconstructions are known to exist. For example, a Big Eater may be suffering from bulimia or [[PostStressOvereating overindulging as a symptom of deeper emotional problems]].

Characterization-wise, it can also be used to fulfill the needs of many RequiredSecondaryPowers, adding depth to a trait commonly dismissed as a comedic quirk and make a character's abilities more believable. Characters with a HealingFactor, SuperSpeed, or the ability to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change shape and size]] don't have to [[NoConservationOfEnergy flout]] the [[ShapeshifterBaggage laws of physics]], they can simply explain that the extra mass and energy come from their over the top eating binges. Magic users in general can use this trope and say that they [[CastFromCalories cast from their calories]], which would explain why mages are often rather thin characters (though obese wizards aren't unheard of).

In action series, this is often a trait belonging to the KidHero, BoisterousBruiser or other types of [[HotBlooded high-energy]] characters. Because many wild animals exhibit this in real life it's also a popular trait for WildChild and RaisedByWolves characters.

In comics and manga it's common to make a [[TheComicallySerious Comically Serious]] character or badass a Big Eater as a way to add a humorous quirk that doesn't take away from the character's seriousness. A common justification for a female big eater is that all the fat goes straight to her [[MostCommonSuperpower breasts]]. Consequently, female characters with big boobs are often big eaters. Occasionally they have BizarreTasteInFood or are ObsessedWithFood when not eating.

TruthInTelevision, though without proper exercise it can lead to obesity. People with higher metabolisms are better able to avoid weight problems caused by overeating and teenagers are known for being able to eat amounts of food that will make them fat if they continue to eat like that in their 20s and beyond. Vegetarians and vegans can come off as this because vegetable matter doesn't contain a lot of calories, so they often have to eat larger portions of food in order to get enough calories. Most wild animals need to be this because they usually have no idea when or where their next meal will be, especially in harsh environments like deserts or polar regions.

See ExtremeOmnivore for when someone doesn't limit themselves to things usually considered food. If two Big Eaters are [[CookingDuel pitted against]] each other, it's an EatingContest. For a villain that has this as their biggest vice (especially an obese villain), see VillainousGlutton. Players can invoke this trope in any video game where the characters have a HyperactiveMetabolism and eat food to heal their injuries. If a Big Eater tries to gain weight, it's a case of IntentionalWeightGain. Compare ReallyFondOfSleeping, which has a similar attitude toward sleeping and also are themselves likely to be a Big Eater. Characters like this may have a DeliciousDaydream, sing an OdeToFood, or engage in BuffetBuffoonery.

[[FridgeLogic Don't expect the question of how exactly they manage to compact so much material into the space of a human stomach to be addressed]].

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'': Gopal has a large appetite and will gladly eat anything, especially sweets.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
** The Atog creature type are a race of these.

[[folder:Comedy]]

* The late John Pinette also did a lot of jokes about food and his weight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* ''ComicStrip/Blondie1930'': Dagwood constantly eats comically large sandwiches. He's so well known for it that his name has entered the dictionary meaning "a thick sandwich filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, dressings, and condiments", and he's the TropeNamer for [[DagwoodSandwich that type of sandwich]]. It's also a popular name for sandwich shops in the midwest. In Belgium, ''Dagobert'' (the French name for Dagwood) is the name of (thick) sandwiches made from a half French bread filled with lots of ham, cheese, salad, tomatoes, carrots, mayonnaise and sometimes onions.
* The title character of ''ComicStrip/{{Curtis}}'' not only has a bottomless stomach, but one made of cast iron, capable of eating quantities and combinations of food that sicken his parents just thinking about it.
* Peter and Roger from ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot''; while Peter does this year-round (even eating groceries before his mother has gotten them to the parking lot of the store), he and his father really shine on Thanksgiving. This is often exaggerated as he's shown to be very heavy despite the similar body shape.
** Daughter Paige has her moments of this when candy or other sweets are involved. This is shown when the ice cream man comes running at the sound of ''her'' bell.
* Jeremy in ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}''. TruthInTelevision, as anyone who knows teenaged boys can assert. Add in his friends Pierce (also thin) and Hector (on the bigger side), and they need a pizza that requires a forklift to transport, and drive all you can eat buffets to close early or make it 21 and over.
* Sergeants Orville Snorkel and Louise Lugg from ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey''. He's usually specifically excluded from local "all you can eat" offers, and together they need a table for four at a restaurant, as well as being fond of other variations of IllTakeTwoBeersToo. One time Beetle comments that Sergeant Snorkel must be adhering to his diet because everyone else received an extra helping of food recently.
* FatBastard hitman Oodles from ''ComicStrip/DickTracy''.
* Subject of a couple of gags in ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', such as the owner of an "All You Can Eat" buffet [[OhCrap watching]] a towering block of a man coming in through the front door; it's not just that he's huge, but he has a mouth about a foot wide.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' -- To the point that a few times, his legs couldn't even reach the ground. It's pointed out he only '''stops''' eating when there's '''nothing''' left in the house.
* Billy Bunter, a British character who first appeared in prose (in the Literature/{{Greyfriars}} stories) in 1908 and made the transition to comics in 1940.
* He's more muscular than "fat", but Ox from ''ComicStrip/{{Luann}}'' has a platinum credit card given to him by his parents to buy his lunches, which tend to be large. He once ordered every item on the menu of Wienie World using it.
* J. Wellington Wimpy from ''{{ComicStrip/Popeye}}''. He especially likes hamburgers, though any meal is fair game. His body shape in a round ball with a head and two stumpy legs.
* Sherman from ''ComicStrip/ShermansLagoon''.

[[folder:Fairy Tales]]
* In the West African folk tale "Literature/AnsigeKarambaTheGlutton", Ansige eats an extraordinary amount of food at each sitting.

* In Music/{{Mamamoo}}'s "Um Oh Ah Yeah" MV, Wheein plays a chubby guy who is eating or drinking something in every shot he is in.
* In the Music/JonathanCoulton song "Big Dick Farts a Polka," the titular professional {{Gasshole}}:

* In the Music/WeirdAlYankovic song [[Music/EvenWorse "Fat"]], a parody of Music/MichaelJackson's "Music/{{Bad}}", a verse of of the song explains how much of a big eater he is with lines such as "If I have one more, Pie a la mode, I'm gonna need My own zipcode" and "When you're only having seconds, I'm havin' twenty-thirds".

** Adephagia is a lesser goddess and personification of gluttony and spirit of satiety.
* The Dagda, BigFun father god of Myth/CelticMythology, was renowned for his appetite especially for anything involving [[TrademarkFavoriteFood porridge]].

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* ''Podcast/HeroClub'' has Sir Oren from ''O Holy Knights'', and Jade Pickett from ''The City of Mirrors'' and ''Chains of Atlantis''. Sir Oren eats whole hams regularly, and was caught by a plate of meat under a box and a stick trap when we first meet him. According to his fellow knights, this isn't the first time either. Jade wolfs down all the food available to her, even when it's large portions provided by the wealthy Theobald Darringcroft. When she has a fairly small but expensive meal with him in ''Chains of Atlantis'', she eats her food, Theo's, and another guest's portion!
* [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier Riley]] from ''Podcast/LessIsMorgue'' is shown to consume people, huge quantities of food, and in one instance, a whole goat. They even end up with a BalloonBelly after comfort-eating four whole meals in Episode 9.
* ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'' has Tellie, who will eat anything ''but'' food. Somewhat justified in that it's an Earth spirit and believes it's cleaning up trash, but it considers almost anything trash (cameras, clothing, cars, you name it). More mundanely are Chell and Sid, notably when they arrive at the Fall Festival and declare their intent to eat their weight in fried dough. Chel's player Jake even compares Chel to Rusty from ''Film/OceansEleven2001''.
* Integrity from ''Podcast/TrialsAndTrebuchets'' loves to eat; she always helps herself large quantities of food from the dining hall, and is frequently seen snacking between meals.

* Sky Deviler was always hungry in Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel.
* At Smackdown in Iraq, John Cena rapped about his opponent Wrestling/BigShow and how unlikely he was to lose to him because "This ain't no pie eating contest!". Wrestling/KurtAngle would later make the same joke, proclaiming he would accept Big Show's challenge to ''any'' athletic competition, but warning him that pie eating contests did not count as athletic. Wrestling/EddieGuerrero once gave Big Show diarrhea after conning him into eating a tainted burrito.
* Wrestling/AliciaFox has the reputation of eating everything [[LethalChef but her own cooking.]]
* Wrestling/DolphZiggler confirmed this, saying that a mere one hour workout will make him hungry (granted, his is probably ''a little'' more intense than average Joe) and that he is always looking for something to eat.
* At Sudbury for Pro Wrestling Eve, Alpha Female went to market in between workouts(which consisted of pressing Nikki Storm) to obtain meat, which she ate raw after rinsing in a sink.
* DTU and Wrestling/{{AAA}} wrestler Niño Hamburguesa, who routinely breaks out sandwiches before his matches are even finished.
* The motif of Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, right down to his theme opening with "FEED! ME! MORE!"

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/BetweenTheLions'': The entire lion family when it comes to eating meat.
** Walter and Clay Pigeon may also be an example of this. In one episode, they managed to clean the entire roof by eating up all the popcorn.
* ''Series/EureekasCastle'' has Emma which is funny, since not only is she a small mouse, but she is smaller than the main characters.
* The puppet for Jacques Chirac in ''Series/LesGuignolsDeLInfo'' is portrayed as a Big Eater, always willing to devour large quantities of food. This is an exaggeration of the real-life Jacques Chirac, who has nonetheless the reputation of a healthy appetite.
* ''WebVideo/TheFundayPawpetShow'''s Hugh Manatee is always looking for mass quantities of chalupas. From the 420 show... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa8nBtHwC_I&feature=related "The Heart Attack Grill"]].
* Animal on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' is both a Big Eater and an ExtremeOmnivore.
* In ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'', the eldest Tracy son [[AcePilot Scott]] has next to no self-control when it comes to his beloved [[TrademarkFavoriteFood apple pie]].
* ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' and ''Series/TheDarkCrystalAgeOfResistance'': VillainousGlutton skekAyuk the Gourmand, the most voracious of the Skeksis. He likes sweet liquors and hot spices, and he boasts to have a different menu for every feast. He's in charge of the Crystal Castle's kitchens and feasts, and cares little for etiquette, possessing [[JabbaTableManners few table manners]] and shamelessly urinating in public.
* ''Series/TheLetterPeople'': If it's not enough that Mister M's sound is "Munching Mouth", his song cements his status this way as he lists foods starting with M that he loves to eat. If that's still not enough, his introductory episode had him at a market, eating foods beginning with M, making a mess.
* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Cookie Monster. "ME WANT COOKIE!!!"
* ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSlimGoodbody'': The Gobbler was an obese mafia-esque villain whose sole purpose in life in his introductory episode seemed to be to eat as much as possible, to the point where he had his henchman hypnotize an entire city's children into losing their appetites so that he could eat all their food!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Radio]]
* "The Stoned Pelican": Mike August, a frequent guest on Radio/{{The Adam Carolla Show}}, is notorious for never turning down free food, ever, even if he just ate and it's the same thing he just ate (famously once eating a free steak at a live show and then eating another one when Adam took the gang out later).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'' has Emmanuel, a FormerlyFat super-speedster who burned off all his weight but kept his healthy appetite -- in fact, it's necessary for him to eat lots so that he can regain all the calories he loses speeding around. His introduction has him scoffing down a classroom's worth of cookies after Mirielle drops them.
* [[CloudCuckooLander Ronove]] in ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'' eats a lot and always seem to stay hungry no matter how much he has eaten. His favourite foods are strawberry cakes and sand gnome legs.
* In ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', Reika Ishida is shown to be one of these in pre-game, judging by the fact that when she orders something from A&W she gets a large hamburger meal alongside some chicken all for herself, and ''then'' snags some of the KFC bucket her sister and a friend are sharing. Note that this is a 4'9 tall and 95 pound teenage girl. Jay Holland also shows tendencies of this when he orders six [=McDoubles=] that have fries ''inside'' them, small cups normally used for condiments to be filled with Oreo [=McFlurry=], four more burgers stacked together, a bunch of milkshakes, a large Pepsi, and coffee at a [=McDonalds=]. Though, he does use the justification that [[spoiler:he just survived a terrorist attack, so he has the right to get fat]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Scripts]]
* Terry Munford of Website/DeviantArt's script series, ''Script/{{Chris}}''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* ''Theatre/LaNona'': PlayedForDrama. La Nona's ginormous food consumption severely strains her family's finances while she herself cares little for the situation. Every few hours, she re-enters the kitchen to demand snacks or meals and is appeased with increasingly smaller portions (what little her family can offer her). Later, she gets married to the owner of a bodega and manages to eat all of the establishment's candies in a month and a half. Her finishing monologue has her alone, [[spoiler:as all of her relatives have either died or left]], reminiscing about the fantastic meals she enjoyed in her youth.
* Algernon Moncrieff from Oscar Wilde's play ''Theatre/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest''. In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, he's seen eating the cucumber sandwiches his butler left for his aunt. In fact, it's [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the protagonist Jack Worthing on more than one occasion -- including his very first line!
* Little Red Riding Hood from ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' is described as being rather plump, and when she's at the Baker's she nearly cleans him out of his bread and sweets. She says it's for her grandmother, but she ends up eating all of the sweets along the way as well as half of a loaf of bread. When she gets eaten by the wolf later on, who just at Granny as well, the narrator laughs and comments that it was a full day of eating for both.
* Falstaff from Shakespeare's ''Theatre/HenryIV'' plays. In addition to being a drunkard, he runs up quite the food bill at Mistress Quickly's.
* The titular protagonist from ''Theatre/UbuRoi'' attends a banquet his wife cooked up for their various co-conspirators including such delicacies as "tarty-farts", "turkey bum", and "balogna soup". Upon realizing that his wife is going to give away all that lovely food, Ubu chases the others out with a toilet brush so he can finish it himself.

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Toys/FlickToStickBungees'': Kitor, a character from the Bionic Bungees set, is described in his bio as having a habit of gobbling up metal without considering whether the other Bungees will need it.
* ''Franchise/TheTransformers'': G1 Sparkabot Guzzle is described in his bio as having originally been known to his friends for his extremely energy-efficient alt-mode, but after the war broke out he upgraded himself to transform into a powerful [[TankGoodness tank]]. This caused his fuel consumption rate to skyrocket by a factor of 100, so he has to consume massive amounts of Energon to stay operational.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': Maya Fey, who even claims she has separate stomachs for particular foods she likes.
* Taiga Fujimura and Saber from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Saber has the excuse that food replenishes her mana. Taiga doesn't.
** Then again, the guy they hang around with is a SupremeChef. Who would blame them for wanting some more munchies?
** Of course, with the exception of the anime, the amount Saber eats is not that great. Her reputation actually comes from proof of the inverse: implying she's not getting dinner incurs her wrath and one of the most memorable comedic scenes in the game.
** Saber's supposed obsession with food is hugely exaggerated in some spinoffs, notably ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm''.
* Emma Cee from ''VisualNovel/HalloweenOtome'' is known for this to her companions. In fact, her frequent visits to the kitchen grant her a chance conversation with her host.
* Emi Ibarazaki from ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''. At one lunchtime at the rooftop, she brings a lunchbox who is twice as larger as Hisao's and Rin's. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as she's the local PassionateSportsGirl, thus does a lot of exercise and burns more calories than most people so she kept her girlish figure.
* ''VisualNovel/MarcoAndTheGalaxyDragon'':
** The titular heroines both have big appetites and are easily distracted by the thought of food. In [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Arco]]’s case, this is because she’s born from a black hole: she’s ''always'' hungry, and can clear out all the food on their ship by herself. Other characters quickly figure out that they can bribe Arco (and Marco, to a lesser extent) into doing whatever they want by offering free food.
** Gargouille is no slouch in this department either. The local news dubs her "Hydration Girl" after she drinks a public fountain dry.
--->'''Gargouille:''' As someone born on the [[SingleBiomePlanet planet of sand]], I really longed for a planet with tasty water. It’s been my dream to one day drink a bottle filled up completely with water. ''(looking proud of herself)'' And now that dream has been fulfilled.
* [[BloodKnight Momoyo Kawakami]] from ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' is notable for this at times. It gets brought up in the anime several times, [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121218001931/majidewatashinikoishinasai/images/4/41/Momoyo_Kawakami-_Eating_Burgers_in_Boredom.jpg and she can clearly put away a lot]].
* ''VisualNovel/MinotaurHotel'': As if Luke wasn't already a huge American stereotype, he can gobble down whole hamburgers and fries in one bite. How he manages to not get fat is anyone's guess.
* ''VisualNovel/ShallWeDateNinjaShadow'' has Ukyo, the local FairCop, who is known for having a huge appetite and a massive SweetTooth. i.e., in Kagura's path he takes some of Kagura's sweet dumplings during a talk and without asking, [[BerserkButton much to the ire]] of Haru aka the SupremeChef who made said dumplings for Kagura himself.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Sickness}}'', Misa ''devours'' a bunch of meat while on a picnic with Suoh (leaving him to his dismay with mostly vegetables) and ends up making herself sick.
* Licia in ''VisualNovel/StrawberryVinegar'', especially around rice. However, she learns the limits of her body when she gets sick one morning as the consequence of overindulging for three days straight on human food.
* In ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'', during the route where Phi goes to the Pantry in Round 2, she apparently spent the whole time eating everything in sight while her teammates did all the work solving the puzzles. She lists off seven different dishes that she ate, and ten later adds an eighth one that she forgot about. Her excuse for her gluttony is that she's a "growing girl"... except she's 20. As Sigma points out, people tend to stop growing before then. However, it's likely that the "growing" she's trying to do [[ACupAngst isn't related to her height]].
* In ''Season of The Sakura'', Meimi and Seia are observed as being this by Shuji when he has dinner with him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* Chocolatey from ''WebAnimation/BrawlOfTheObjects''. [[TrademarkFavouriteFood She loves candy so much]], that she could just ''burst''.
* Nikki from ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' certainly qualifies. In the opening number of the show, she's shown to have the largest amount of food on her tray, and is shoveling it in with a fork in each hand. And in the episode "Nikki's Last Day on Earth," she clears an ENTIRE TABLE full of food as a "last meal."
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'':
** Anyone [[ThreateningShark Sushi]] eats is always SwallowedWhole.
** White Killer Eels aren't as voracious as Sushi, but they still have a nasty appetite.
* Gaston loves to eat throughout ''WebAnimation/TheGastonTrilogy'', mentioning food at least twice in every single section, with the third being entirely about him trying to obtain Taco Bell.
* ''WebAnimation/HelloKittyAndFriendsSupercuteAdventures'': Pompompurin will almost always be seen eating, from tacos to mashed potatoes that Badtz-Maru swapped with his ice cream, to cake, there's precious little he won't eat.
* Whenever Wake from ''WebAnimation/{{Japanoschlampen}}'' comes across food, she ''devours'' it, no matter how much it is, forgetting all traces of table manners in the course. Good thing her Okaasan loves to cook.
* Deandra from ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'', exhibit A to your right. She eats '''''$57.28''''' worth of food in her lunch. Her [[LongList menu]] there is an OverlyLongGag in itself.
-->'''Deandra:''' Can I have a hotdog?... Lemme get some tater tots. Oh, and, also, a slice of pepperoni pizza, and, also a basket of jalapeno poppers, and some chicken nuggets, a ketchup boat, three potato pancakes, a creamsicle, two quesadillas, a bread loaf, side of ranch, some pixie sticks, taco salad, an order of ribs, [[OverlyLongGag aaa]]{{and a diet coke}}- no. Strawberry shake. No! Diet Coke. NO! [[LongList Both.]]
-->'''Lunch Lady Belinda:''' [[LampshadeHanging That is gonna be ]][[ToiletHumour one huge shit]].
** [[TruthInTelevision Fun Fact]]: This trope even applies to Carlo Moss (the VA of [[AuthorAvatar Deandra]]) himself. According to a "Live In The Bathroom" livestream video, Lily says that when they went to a buffet, Carlo got ''eleven full plates'' for '''himself.'''
* ''WebAnimation/RevengeFilms'': In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_4g7KqIp3I story]], a man always orders a lot of food at restaurants and can finish it in one sitting without taking any leftovers, which spikes up his credit card bill due to the humongous meals he eats.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has Ruby, a teenage [[SuperSpeed speedster]] with a a major SweetTooth and a killer metabolism, demonstrated in the first episode when she eats an entire plate of cookies offered to her in only a few seconds. She repeats the feat five volumes later with a plate of sandwiches prepared by Jaune's sister Saphron and her wife Terra, scarfing down sandwich after sandwich. There's also Nora, who ''inhales'' entire pancakes and drinks maple syrup straight from the bottle.
** All of the main characters early in Season 3 order bowls of noodles roughly the size of their entire torsos. [[CatGirl Blake's]] also has several huge fish stacked on top of the noodles. Each of them finishes their entire bowl, and have contented expressions like that was ''just'' enough food to fill them up. Except for [[ButtMonkey Jaune]]. He looks (and sounds) like he’s about to throw up. Later in Season 5 they cook a giant pot of ramen (specifically meant for a party of several adults) and eat the whole thing themselves. The combination of rigorous Huntsmen training and teenage growth spurts is probably to blame for it.
* The King of Town from ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''.
-->'''Strong Bad:''' I'm looking for disgusting eating records. Why don't you just have lunch? I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.
%%* Grif from ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' still fits in that armor?

* ''Literature/CanYouSpareAQuarter'': Between having undernourished on the street and in the age where boys eat a lot, Jamie consumes a lot of food when he is with Graham. This is not unexpected by Graham, who knows from his neighbours on Valdez Island and their son how much growing up boys eat.

* Like Creator/DougWalker, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic seems to live off booze, cereal and junk food but never gets spots or looks fat.
* The guys from ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime'', who routinely prepare massive dishes with five- (sometimes six-) figure calorie counts and then eat them on camera. What probably helps their frames is that Harley is rather tall and Muscles Glasses (a personal trainer in real life) often hits the gym.
* Ian and Anthony of ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'' both qualify, although Ian seems to be the bigger eater.
* ''WebVideo/Steve1989MREInfo'': Some of the rations Steve features include multiple meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, all of them high calorie and designed to keep soldiers on their feet and he lets nothing that's edible go to waste.
* LetsPlay/{{Strippin}} jokingly refers to himself as a food disposal unit, and the premise of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRhnGOA4Amc&channel=TheStrippin one of his challenge videos]] is to face off against Smiffy from LetsPlay/HatFilms in a burger eating contest, with the forfeit being that the loser is slapped with a half-eaten burger. [[spoiler:Smiffy wins]]. It is worth nothing that Strippin gets away with this since he is very well-built and does lots of exercise to counteract this. Since moving to LA in early 2014, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_URAbY3IKE&feature=youtu.be this has started to catch up with him]].
* Not exactly thin, but beefy/muscular ''WebVideo/PrettyDudes'' character Jay is constantly eating.
* LetsPlay/{{Turpster}}, by reputation. Smiffy of LetsPlay/HatFilms says that Turps has bought an entire family bucket meal from KFC and eaten all of it, ''himself''. He and Turps have a gentleman's agreement that they will, at some point, do an eating challenge.
* LetsPlay/SimonLane constantly jokes about this in LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} real life videos, with a joke in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHmXtvbmE5g&channel=BlueXephos Kicky Kicky Flow]]" about his consumption of Jaffa Cakes.
* While [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] isn't exactly fat, in ''WebVideo/TheSonicAmigos'' he eats all of his and Luigi's spaghetti offscreen. [[spoiler:Maybe.]]
* Lulu from ''WebVideo/CreamHeroes'' is notorious for his large appetite and us usually the first in line when Claire brings out treats. Lala also counts, as she's never far behind him when food is concerned. Kittens Toto and Dodo both have large appetites and copy some of Lulu's antics in the hopes of getting more food.
* Boris from ''WebVideo/LifeOfBoris'' always cooks in servings that would feed multiple at once, or one hungry Boris.[[labelnote:*]] Note that he lives alone.[[/labelnote]] His food also tends to be [[NutritionalNightmare loaded with sugar and carbohydrates or deep-fried in sunflower seed oil]].
* Marmalade of ''WebVideo/ColeAndMarmalade'' loves to eat, and sometimes tries to swipe human food.

* The players of ''[[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower JLA Watchtower]]'' one time got into a debate of "Which team would win an eating contest? Wally West and Jesse Quick or Gar Logan and Aurora Andersen?" Aurora is about 5'2" and small-built, but is also an animal-shifter like Gar is. Her metabolism resembles a shrew's, especially if she's been working her shapeshifting a lot. Good thing she's also the TeamChef for the Titans.
* This ''[[http://dogs.icanhascheezburger.com/2008/05/14/funny-dog-pictures-toast-with-jam-please/ Lolcats]]'' page.
* The ''Website/SCPFoundation'' has, among its specimens, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-913 SCP-913]] a.k.a. "Mr. Hungry", an apparently ordinary African-American man who requires "the recommended daily caloric intake for a normal human ''every 2 hours''", otherwise he falls into a trance in which he will [[ExtremeOmnivore eat any solid matter he can]] in order to sate his appetite.
* Nearbaseline humans in ''Website/OrionsArm'' are this trope as a result of their [[https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/47fc1e955e1ca various modifications]] (which are what differentiate them from [[{{Muggles}} baseline humans]]). Their appetite is 25-50% more than baselines of similar body mass. Since they live in a PostScarcityEconomy, this isn't a problem except in unusual circumstances.
