About Me:
I'm a 5'2 former women's physique bodybuilder on a mission to sample delicious foods from around the world! I tackle restaurant challenges, sample new food menus, and explore the unique eats in various cities. To balance out the calorie intake of weekly food challenges, I continue to pursue my love of fitness through extreme athletic adventures such as ultra-running and biking. I hope you'll join me at my table!

I think the discrepancy of how many kilos of rice you were given comes from weighing it before it was cooked, as when it's cooked it becomes much heavier and voluminous. So if they weighed out 1.5 kg of uncooked rice, what you were given was really closer to 4.5 kg of cooked rice!

[@BrianBorges-ez3ls]

Yes, you speak truth! Rice is a totally deceptive beyotch!😂

[@thesuncollective1475]

Agreed...1.5kg plus water..that's naughty

[@maryabbott5005]

Agreed 💯👌👌 I was saying Riiight..NOT..DEF language Snafooo regarding dry vs. Cooked weights of rice 4 SURE!!!😵‍💫

[@stephenanthony3094]

That's insane. I don't understand why restaurants will have eating challenges but make it impossible for the competitor to complete the challenge. That was WAAAAAY too much rice for any human to consume. You're still a champ, Katina.

[@irenecastillo4161]

I agree LOL

That's the point. Saving her from herself and her ego . . .

It's nice when they acknowledge that the challenge was off and correct it. That's a W in my books. ❤

[@MysticCreature]

You’re always a joy to watch. You’re so friendly and kind to everyone. It’s not wonder your channel is popular. Love who you are! And this seemed like a rough one. All that rice made my stomach hurt just looking at it! You’re the best! Have you ever gone to New Zealand? Italy?! It’s wild how your passion has taken you around the world! Always a fan!!!!❤

The chef who brought out your food has the most adorable smile ❤

[@sarahl108]

The amount of rice in that was insane!!!

[@MadChiller]

It appears that even soy sauce (the ketchup of Cambodia) couldn’t help Katina finish all that rice. At least y’all had some fun there trying all the different and never eaten before choices in that ginormous bowl! Excellent attempt my friend. Take care, Katina. Peace out, Chad ✌🏻 😊

Ketchup of Cambodia haha - that gets me 😂

That's nuts taking on another challenge so close to a huge beef challenge the night before. Amazing you got as far as you did.

[@bobbysoza3798]

The food looks really good,, and thank you for sharing the new video this Sunday...

[@Marylily2]

That rice looked very dry, even with the soy sauce. Along with the fact that you literally just did a huge challenge the night before, as well as the fact that you were given nearly 5kg of rice, I think you did bloody well! It truly wasn’t your fault, but you were kind of set up for failure from the get go. It’s really nice that they gave you the meal on the house though!

Absolutely love Katina Eats Kilos! 😍 Her charm and the way she makes food competitions look so effortless are truly captivating. Always excited to see what delicious challenges she takes on next. 🍔🔥

[@Frogger790]

Wow you guys do back to back challenges. I was always curious about that and the spacing. You have a gift for gab. ❤Congrats!!! 🎉

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

#RandomThought: I would love to see Katina have her own show on the Food Network where they pay her to go all over the world and do these challenges. I say that because she is one of very few people who are not only enjoyable and relatable to watch, but she does an EXCELLENT, Bobby Flay level commentary as to how the food tastes. Katina makes me feel like I'm there, and that would make a great Food Network show. 🤗

[@qreeneyez916]

I agree ❤

[@bodyofhope]

They did that with Man vs. Food and he doesn't have great things to say about the experience in retrospect. I'd hate for her to hurt herself for a paycheck when she's currently her own boss. And she can choose her meals and travel along with her bf.

Cambodian technology is very advanced. They’ve clearly mastered infinitely regenerating rice. Wonder how it stacks up to endless mountain of fries in US challenges…

[@Jo-Froggy]

Oh my lord that amount of rice mind!!!! 😮😮😮 awesome as always u beaute … ❤❤❤

[@AngelaLRsurfinginstilettos]

Oh goodness, that is many servings of rice. Yes, it digests easily but it also fills you up quickly prior to. This makes it somewhat difficult to eat extremely large portions in a short time-frame. Also, it's not as if you are eating one portion serving of anything in your challenges, it's not even two servings...additionally, you did a huge food challenge the evening prior to. So, you were not able to fully recover and digest as you normally would. You made an incredible effort Katina; what you are doing is not remotely easy for anyone, and you shatter so many of these enormous challenges. Be immensely proud of your accomplishments and you attempts, equally. You do it all with class, humility, respect and outstanding sportsmanship. Onward and upward! 🙂👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟

Banana flower is a large bud on the banana tree. It is conical and like a bamboo tree shoot they cut it off and shred it like coleslaw. To cook it cut stir fry blend with scrambled egg pancakes and use like a large shoot vegie
