7,000 calorie meat feast

Adam Moran could not put away the huge platter served up in the so-called Breaking BadAss Challenge at Longhorns Barbeque Smokehouse in Newcastle in under an hour.

The meal includes beef brisket, beef ribs, smoked hog, a full rack of pork ribs, a sausage, chicken wings and three bean chilli all served up with a brioche bun, coleslaw and a large helping of chips.

Mr Moran - who has completed Man Vs Food-style challenges around the UK - was unable to manage the huge meal, which no one has yet been able to finish.

The 29-year-old from Leeds, who wants to become a personal trainer, said: 'I gave the challenge my best shot, but the amount of food on the platter just proved too much for me.

'It's the worst way to lose a challenge, I still had room for desert at the end, but ultimately it was the last pot of beans that defeated me.

'If I'd had an extra, five, maybe ten minutes, I might have done it, but tactics are important.

'Given I left the beans till last, leaving myself seven minutes to eat two pots, I think that's where I went wrong.'

Anyone attempting to complete the £35 feast has to agree to a verbal disclaimer, absolving the restaurant of any responsibility for personal injury.

Eaters who do get through all the meat have the price of the meal waivered and their picture posted on the Newcastle restaurant's currently empty wall of fame.

Mr Moran, who weighs just over 11 stone, says he's always had an insatiable appetite for food since an early age, but maintains a healthy weight by going to the gym for two hours a day, six days a week. 

Mr Moran previously ate a 3ft 'Unfinishable Naan' at Omar's Restaurant, in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

That challenge had gone undefeated for ten years after more than 700 contenders failed to scoff the huge bread in less than 30 minutes.

But Mr Moran, who was rewarded with a holiday to Barcelona, finished it in 22 minutes.

Girlfriend Lindsey Wood, 25, is said to be supportive of her partner's bizarre hobby.

Mr Moran said: 'After the Breaking Badass challenge, she spent the afternoon rubbing my belly and consoling me.

'It's ironic actually, because she's quite a fussy eater, whereas I'm the polar opposite in the food stakes. I guess she just enjoys watching me do something I love.'

He added: 'Each challenge is difficult in a different way, some are hard because of the time limit, some because there are different foods involved; so your approach has to be more tactical.

'My Achilles heel has to be flavour-fatigue though, which is where you get to the point that you've eaten so much of one thing, the flavour of it quite literally causes you to gag.

'This is why you'll see me order chocolate ice cream to accompany my meal, if the restaurant offers it. I've dipped everything from nachos to sausage in ice cream to help.'
