Eating Healthy - Alexeev

[62S-R-S]

Russian athlete Vasily Alexeev passed away a few years ago. He was known for training /eating habits that defy description or belief.

Generally nutritionists and pcp's suggest eating 'several small meals' vs. large ones. Apparently, he had a different opinion :
________

“I really don’t like to eat. I get sick when I think of food.”

Still, he recently managed to devour the following : two chocolate cakes, two legs of lamb, several platefuls of peas, endless kegs of beer, tons of caviar, rice, fruits, roast beef and dressing, and salads of every conceivable variety. The great man was visiting the famed Carvery room of Tower Hotel in London en route to Montreal when he devoured this record-shattering fare.

Recently I had a chance to interview the waiter and several witnesses of the great dining hall and they talked freely about the immnense difficulties in keeping the gregarious man satisfied. According to the chief waiter - “He nearly bankrupted us. Every night he consumed a whole side of beef, several cakes, potfuls of potatoes, beans, puddings, and washed it all down with barrels of beer. I believe I shall never witnesses the likes of such a being again.”

"...a side of beef" ?

was he an Early 911 owner ?

Somewhat doubtful..

He was raised in a logging town, where in youth he helped carry out fallen timber.

The approximate hanging weight of a side of beef is 300lbs, with 200lbs of that being usable meat.

According to Wilson Beef Farms, a side of beef includes the following:
"3 or 4 @ 3 lb. Chuck Roasts
2 or 3 Chuck Steaks
3 or 4 @ 3 lb. Arm Roasts
4 @ 2.5 lb. pkgs. Short Ribs
4 Neck Soup Bones
4 Shank Soup Bones
About 15 lbs. of Rib Section that you can have cut as Rib Steaks and/or Rib Roasts
4 or 5 lbs. of Stew Beef
Approximately 20 Steaks total divided amongst the Sirloin, Porterhouse, and T-Bone Steaks (or strip steaks and tenderloin)
10 lbs. of Top Round cut as Roasts, Steaks, and/or London Broil
2 or 3 @ 3 lb. Rolled Rump Roasts
6 lbs. of Sirloin Tip cut as Roasts and/or steaks
16 Cube Steaks
Approximately 80 lbs. of Ground Beef in 1 lb. pkgs."

The Brits either have small cows, pots and barrels or the chief waiter was prone to hyperbole.

...or the chief waiter was prone to hyperbole.

Well, consider his training breakfast that on occasion consisted of an omelot.

...36 eggs, an article had claimed.
