[Disney] [Gaston] I have a few questions about Gaston.

He used to eat 48 eggs every morning. Now he eats 60 eggs every morning. That can't be healthy. Is there any way someone could live like that? Considering the time period he lived in, was he considered a giant because of his size? How did he afford all those eggs?

An egg has about 78 calories, 6g protein, and 5g fat.

So for breakfast, Gaston is eating 4,680 calories, 360g protein, and 300g of fat. It should be noted that the fat in eggs is one of the good kinds, and that the idea eggs cause high cholesterol has been debunked.

Let's guess that Gaston considered breakfast the most important meal of the day, and that it is twice as large as either lunch or dinner. Let's also assume he's eating similar foods in terms of fat and protein.

That would mean he's eating 9,360 calories, 720g protein, and 600g of fat, every single day.

A moderately active man needs about 15 calories per pound of bodyweight just to maintain. An active man needs closer to 20 calories. That would put Gaston at about 468 pounds, about 70 pounds heavier than Hafthór Björnsson, also known as The Mountain.

A very active man would be eating more like 25 calories per pound of bodyweight. That would put Gaston at more like 375 pounds, about 22 pounds *lighter* than The Mountain.

Athletes try to eat about 2g protein per pound of bodyweight. If we use Gaston's lighter weight, he's taking in 1.92g protein per pound bodyweight, almost dead on.

So yes, Gaston is definitely an outlier, and on the higher end of what's humanly possible, but it is within the realm of reason. This also explains why he was able to wrestle a giant ax-bear-wolf-monster thing without getting his arm torn off.
