Katina Eats Kilos Shows TikTok What It's Like To Be A Professional Eater

One look at Katina and you might think there's no way she can eat thousands and thousands of calories in a short period of time, but you'd be wrong. The 31-year-old YouTube and TikTok creator has made a living out of eating thanks to her competitive nature and big appetite. She started in the world of competitive eating in 2019 after competing in a local bodybuilding show.  She then began visiting Spokane, Washington area restaurants for their food challenges. After winning these food challenges without difficulty, Katina was ready to tackle more. She began taking on eating stunts and spicy food challenges on her YouTube channel, and touring the country to find the best food challenges to compete in.

The first video she posted to her TikTok page in May 2021 shows Katina taking on "The Big Texan 72-ounce Steak Challenge" in Amarillo, Texas. The challenge is to consume four-and-a-half pounds of meat, a baked potato, a salad, a roll and three shrimp in one hour.  At only 5'2, many might think there's no way she can do it, but she did it in 40 minutes and 35 seconds.

Other challenges that she's competed in were the 7x7 inch dessert pancake challenge, 6.5 pound Wagyu steak challenge, the 7.5 pound monster slice pizza challenge, Big Daddy burger challenge, and many others. Viewers of her content are impressed with her eating abilities.

"I'm a big girl and I still see these and always wonder how?? Even if it all come back up, it still had to go down..."

"Damn girl 😂😂 where’s it go?"

"I’m impressed not only that you managed to beat all these challenges but you don’t have food all over your face afterwards or during. I don’t know how"

"Most impressive person on Tik Tok!"

"I love watching you. is it a technique"

"My toxic trait is thinking I could do this as easily as she did knowing damn well I can’t 🤣"

Another impressive challenge that Katina took on and conquered was the Front Street Brewery 5-pound pork nacho challenge in Davenport, Iowa. "Let's pull our hair back and get this challenge started," she said enthusiastically before diving into the full plate of nachos, roasted corn, pork, and pico de gallo. She had 45 minutes to clean the plate of nachos and didn't even appear to break a sweat piling the food in. Katina completed the challenge with ease in just 34 minutes and 11 seconds.

One thing that keeps Katina going strong is her passion to provide family friendly content, as well as helping small restaurants promote their food and services. She travels the country finding the best food challenges to highlight on her social media pages. In 2020, she met another professional eater, Randy Santel. The two started dating after doing a summer restaurant tour in Alaska together. The couple now tours the world together winning food challenges everywhere they go.
