230 calories a minute for 26 minutes: Hungry diner takes café challenge and polishes off gut-busting 6,000-calorie breakfast in record time

Seasoned 'big breakfast eater' polishes off giant fry-up - but says it was his hardest challenge yet

It was thought to be an impossible feat - and perhaps a foolhardy one at that: Just how many diners could consume a fry-up the size of a baby in under an hour?

But it would seem one diner was man enough - and hungry enough - to take on the Kidz Breakfast culinary challenge.

Not only did Robert Pinto step up to the plate - he then proceeded to clear it in record time as he munched his way through 6,000 calories in 26 minutes.

Stepping up to the plate: Robert Pinto (above) travelled 125 miles to take on the Kidz Breakfast challenge - and then proceeded to polish off the mammoth meal in just 26 minutes (below)



Greasy spoon Jesters Diner in Southtown, Great Yarmouth, offers the £15 meal for free to anyone who can finish it in under an hour.

Described as a 'heart attack on a plate', the 9lb Kidz Breakfast - named so because it weighs more than an average-sized newborn baby - was slammed by health campaigners for its size and high calorie content.

The jumbo meal - consisting of 12 bacon rashers, 12 sausages, six eggs, four slices of black pudding, four slices of bread and butter, four slices of toast, four slices of fried bread, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, saute potatoes and an EIGHT egg cheese and potato omelette - is the calorific equivalent of two Christmas dinners or 12 Big Macs.

However, it was no match for Mr Pinto, who is already a record-breaking breakfast eater.

Surprisingly slim diner Mr Pinto travelled 125 miles from his home in Rutland to polish off the whopping fry up.

It's not the first time he's faced such a huge adversary - the 39-year-old holds the Guinness World Record for demolishing another big breakfast at Mario's Cafe, in Bolton, in November 2011.

It took him just eight minutes and 46 seconds to finish that one. And last October he also managed to eat another behemoth breakfast in 13 minutes at the Hungry Hossee, in Corby, Northamptonshire.

All gone: Despite earning his free meal fair and square, Robert said he will donate the cost of the breakfast to a local heart charity

However the Kidz Breakfast was Mr Pinto's toughest challenge yet.

He said: 'It was a heart attack on a plate, to be honest it was pretty difficult especially with the fried bread which was literally covered in fat.

'I always knew it could be done, but I don't think anyone else could do it, that shows by the fact it took me the longest to eat out of all the ones I have done.

'When I first saw it, I thought "that looks pretty big", and I didn't know where to start, there was a lot of potato and it was quite dry compared to the others which I think is the reason why it took longer.

'I do have a system, I try to use the bread to make little sandwiches filled with the other ingredients and that helps it go down better.'

Mr Pinto admitted his mammoth breakfast bashing does take its toll in the bathroom afterwards.

He added: 'It can be quite painful. But after I had that on Monday I went for five-mile run, went down the gym and had a swim, you have to keep healthy.

'It's all about the fruit and veg for me now for the rest of the week.'

Record-breaker: This is not the first time Robert Pinto has faced such a challenge - he devoured a breakfast in Corby, Northamptonshire, in October last year (above) and holds the Guinness World Record for demolishing another huge fry-up at Mario's Cafe, in Bolton, in November 2011 (below)
