A Missouri-based competitive eater has scoffed his way through the UK's most prolific eating challenges consuming more than 200,000 calories.

Randy Santel, who has conquered 92oz steak challenges, 60oz burgers and 27inch pizzas in his indulgent eating marathon, finished 42 challenges including British traditional feasts such as full English breakfasts and fish and chips, the Daily Star reported.

The 28-year-old mountain man, who stands at 6ft 5in, said that his favourite challenge so far has been a 12inch burger the size of a mini cooper wheel with 200g of chips, in which everyone was cheering his name, more than a hundred people watched and he even made front page news.

Santel added that the Brits he has met along the way have been really supportive some even letting him stay with them as they're amazed he has travelled so far to take on these challenges.

His final challenge saw him battle a stack of five burgers stacked between five pieces of bacon and five pieces of cheese, with a side portion of chips and coleslaw at Scotty's Steakhouse, Galway.

The epic meal named the Scotty's 5x5 challenge tallies up a whopping total of 9,000 calories and he devoured it in just 18 minutes 28 seconds to become one of 16 people to finish the meal in the half hour time limit.

He surpassed his target of reaching the milestone of 250 extreme food victories across the United States and Europe after starting his one-a-day attempts in December.

Back at home in St Peters, Missouri, the competitive eater, who will be downsizing his meals and opting for healthier options to counterbalance the high calorific intake, said that he'll be on a diet from now on to lose any weight he has gained and to let his body recover, so it'll be back to vegetables for him for a good while.
