How Skinny Stomachs Stretch More

Contrary to popular belief, a skinny person can actually consume more food than an obese person. Obese people carry more fat in their midsection and around their organs, which limits how far their stomachs can expand. A skinny person lacks this internal fat padding, so their stomach has more room to stretch during a huge meal. That difference in available space is why many competitive eaters are surprisingly skinny despite the enormous amounts of food they consume.
