The World’s Heaviest Man diet consisted of three gigantic meals and two snacks.

YouTuber Erik Lamkin, known as EriktheElectric, has taken on many eating challenges in his social media platforms. Recently, Lamkin took on the 22,000-calorie diet of former world’s heaviest man Walter Hudson.

Lamkin has built a following on YouTube of 2.5 million subscribers. He gave himself 24 hours to complete the massive day of eating that consisted of three meals and two snacks. Walter Hudson holds the record for largest waist at 119 inches and at his heaviest, weight 1,200 pounds.

This would be no small challenge as Lamkin began his day with breakfast.

Meal 1 – 8,690 calories

The massive breakfast began with Lamkin combining the eggs and toast. Once the dozen eggs were gone, he crushed the sausage and moved onto the bacon. The toast was eliminated by making jelly sandwiches. Lamkin even added some peanut butter to mix it up a bit.

  • 12 eggs
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 32 sausage links
  • 1 loaf bread with grape jelly
  • 1 pot of coffee

Snack – 1,540 calories

The snacks were described as a “handful” of candy bars. While there was no exact amount, Lamkin narrowed it down to between 3-6. He used a random number generator to determine the amount he would eat. The first snack consisted of four candy bars.

  • Reese’s Fast Break
  • Hershey’s Cookies & Cream
  • Reese’s Big Cup
  • Fruity Pebbles Candy Bar
Lunch

Meal 2 – 4,820 calories

For lunch, Lamkin was tasked with two large sandwiches from Subway and a pound of fries. He opted for the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which he gave a perfect rating. The second large sandwich was the classic chicken rotisserie sandwich. Lamkin was unable to finish the full bottle of soda so carried it over to his second snack.

  • 2 liter bottle of soda
  • 2 large sandwiches
  • Pound of fries

Snack – 1,690 calories

The second snack of the day consisted of more candy bars. The umber generator added one this time and Lamkin chose five different bars.

  • Zero candy bar
  • Snickers
  • 3 Musketeers
  • Caramello bar
  • Butterfinger
Dinner

Meal 3 – 6,065 calories

Dinner would be the most challenging meal of the day with plenty of protein and starches mixed in. Lamkin began by taking down four ham steaks and six cobs of corn. He moved onto the potatoes but had to finish one of them later, along with the apple pie.

  • A bottle of soda
  • 4-5 ham steaks
  • 6 cobs of corn
  • 6 baked potatoes
  • 1 apple pie
