Man scoffs 30 Greggs festive bakes in just 45 minutes - containing 13,500 calories

A man has eaten 30 Greggs festive bakes in under an hour - a haul which contained an enormous 13,500 calories.

Kyle Gibson, a "professional eater", managed to plough through the puff pastry filled with meat, stuffing and cranberry sauce in just 44 minutes and 15 seconds.

The 23-year-old from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, put himself to the test of eating the most festive bakes in one sitting.

The 13,500-calorie meal was tough going on Kyle soon after he'd demolished his tenth pastry, but he journeyed on even treating himself to six mince pies as a dessert.

The whopping 4.5kg haul cost a total of £50, leaving Kyle stuffed.

He said: "The festive bakes only come out once a year, so I thought I'd give it a try.

"They're actually really good, but after the tenth one it just all started to go downhill from there.

"They were just so dry and flaky, and it got monotonous just eating the same thing over and over again.

"After eating them, I never wanted to eat one again."

Kyle relishes eating challenges and uses eating as an an endurance test which he can prove he has won.

He plans future eating tests and is looking forward to more seasonal food as Christmas approaches.

His next target is mince pies which he plans to film on video and before heading to the gym once he has completed the task.

Since scoffing 30 festive bakes, Kyle hopes to do more Greggs challenges in the future like trying to see how many sausage rolls he can eat in one sitting.

He said: "I've been doing challenges like this for the past five years.

"So once I do them, I go into a food coma for a little while but burn it all off at the gym and by eating low calorie meals on normal days.

"I'm looking forward to Christmas, and I'm even planning on doing another festive video of eating about 100 mince pies in 30 minutes."
