Adam Moran[1] better known online as BeardMeatsFood is a British YouTuber, currently residing in the United Kingdom, who uploads videos of him eating large quantities of food. He is considered to be the most famous competitive eater from the United Kingdom.[citation needed]
Early Life[]
Adam is a former banker, and lives in Leeds.[2] He is a qualified personal trainer and says that competitive eating together with two hours' weight training per day has improved his body fat ratio over five years.[2]
Career[]
He did his first eating challenge around 2014-2015 as a follow-up to a diet where he got his body fat down to 8%; he started his YouTube channel in 2015, and began competing professionally in 2017.[3] In 2016, he was given a position as food tester by the owner of an American-style diner chain in Yorkshire, who took out £1 million in insurance on his stomach and tastebuds.[2]
Moran's YouTube channel generally features him travelling around the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada to restaurants or other establishments that offer food challenges, and attempting to beat said challenges; during the challenge, he frequently chats with the other patrons and waiting staff, often profusely apologizing for his messy eating, and has a second "TABLE CAM" camera facing away from himself to record the often shocked reactions.
In the final edit he also provides a sarcastic voiceover commentary track, which he sometimes starts with an excited gibberish exclamation that's vaguely meant to resemble "Let's get it!"[4] he stated it's a "nonsensical yet energetic way of announcing the beginning of the commentary."[5] He has admitted a dislike towards mushrooms, although it's not a deal breaker[6] he does actively dislike spicy food, however.[7] He often gets Diet Coke with his meals, as he claims the carbonation of the soft drink helps getting some of the trapped air out of the stomach, and the sweetness helps break up the monotony of the savory flavor.[8]
Despite the size of the challenges, he often orders a dessert once he's finished.[9]
Trivia[]
- In his name, BeardMeatsFood, there is a pun that says "Meats" instead of "Meets". Moreover, the name itself implicates that the YouTuber himself, who is a bearded man, meets food, which means he eats food, hence the whole premise of his channel.[citation needed]
- Despite the premise of his channel and the fact that he eats a lot of food, he still equally tries to burn as many calories to keep his weight and lifestyle in balance, essentially like Matt Stonie, who eats a lot of food but is skinny as well. Either that, and/or he has a high metabolism.[citation needed]
- Adam is also known for his issues with his height, claiming to be 5 foot 10 inches tall, however it has been confirmed he is actually only 5 foot 6 inches tall.[2]
- He has competed in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2019 and placed 10th.[10]
