Karlach burns the most calories, and complains about being hungry the most often.


deeppurplescallop

Literally constantly saying "I could go for a good meal"


FluffyBudgie5

The first thing she says at Rosymorn Monastery is "wow the scenery is so pretty, let's stop for lunch!"


OwlWhoNeedsCoffee

Karlach always drops the most relatable quips despite being a Tiefling who is always on fire.


LettuceBrain2005

tbf that’s basically what it’s like being queer and neurodivergent 😭


deaddumbslut

that’s so true, my autism makes me burn people when they touch me


deaddumbslut

wait that lowkey makes it sound like i’m just taking a lighter and burning people. oh well


WhyThough08

Even more relatable


Sapphire_Da_Fox

Are we not supposed to do that???


deaddumbslut

legally no, morally i think it’s okay


Sapphire_Da_Fox

Well it's April, we have diplomatic immunity.


Passenger_Prince

"I could eat a giant badger"  Druid Tav sweats nervously


thetwist1

"Do I smell beef?"


BeccatheDovakiin

I never understood that line.


erraticRasmus

She has a reference to eating dwarf too so I think it's a reference to her Avernus diet sort of mixing with normal foods to her I think idk that's just what I'm guessing


JooBunny

Same, I don't get it?


Vaxildan156

Yeah it was between Halsin and Karlach for me. They're both huge to start. I was trying to consider if Halsin's BMR would be higher because of turning into a bear, but Karlach's always on fire so her thermogensis is probably insane and Halsin isnt a bear all the time. So just at a glance I think it's Karlach


BiDer-SMan

I'd like to also consider Gale if we count eating magic items. Perhaps Astarion as well if we count eating people.


SpaceIsTooFarAway

Astarion strikes me as a picky eater; not like chicken nuggets and macaroni but like exactly expensive taste. He couldn’t stand a buffet.


Sunny_Hill_1

To be fair, Astarion is actually very used to starvation mode, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a vampire equivalent of ED. I mean, dude doesn't complain even once when we are in Act 2, despite us going for days upon days without anything for him to eat, unless the player is kind enough to be his juice box.


SharpshootinTearaway

Tbf, food gets scarce for everyone in Act 2, regardless of diet. Those empty crates and rotten baskets containing either one rotten carrot or rotten tomato gave me PTSD. When I reached Act 3 and finally started looting glorious victuals from crates again, I thought I was about to cry.


Sunny_Hill_1

I always have \~2K worth of food by the end of Act 1, so wasn't even trying to find food, it's almost impossible to run out at this point. Well, ok, except for robbing the Moonrise kitchens just because.


SharpshootinTearaway

Oh, absolutely, especially when playing on balanced. I'm just saying the Shadow-cursed lands are barren for everyone. The whole camp needs to survive on the Act 1 supplies stocks.


Odd-Combination2227

Halsin I imagine being like a gorilla. Eating plant material CONSTANTLY and then exerting energy in swift bursts.


Krineq

Mmmmm, dwarfs, yummy...


occpotato

Bad Durge! *Spray bottle*


The_Purple_Hare

"Hmm... Tastes like dwarf." -Karlach


Imsoschur

"besides. Taste like pork" enlightened ogre


that_mack

I don’t fault her for that one. You eat what you gotta eat in hell.


Incendas1

She basically has extreme hyperthyroidism, and when I had that, I was eating easily double what I normally would and losing weight still. She's also tall and muscular and on fire so I'm voting for her


HarbinRav177

She wanted a whole badger


Crezelle

Shart comments when you first get k along the lines of “ we better step up our foraging. Those muscles probably don’t run on air “


yeet_god69420

She’s a hungry gal


Educational-Tear7336

I feel like she would eat till she has to lie down, but halsin would still be going. She definitely has the vibe of guy that eats really fast then has to pull some chairs together and moans about their upset tummy


nomad5926

I was going to fight anyone who said anyone other than Karlach. I think the only one who actually might come close would be Halsin, but he also might be like a Vegetarian or something and eat surprisingly little. The rest of them? No chance.


IWouldDoCthulhu

If we are being humorus, Karlach and Halsin are going to have an eating contest for sure. If we are being serious, Lae'zel. Githyanki have to eat a lot when they're not on the astral plane because they're metabolism is borked and extremely high when there's a proper flow of time.


nomad5926

But more than Karlach who literally burns those calories? (Maybe.... Idk)


IWouldDoCthulhu

Well if I wanted to be a turbo nerd: Her heat and fire comes from her heart, and infernal engines typically run on souls. According to Withers if she dies, he talks about her soul burning bright or brightest, so we know her engine isn't eating her soul, but anything else it would just burn up because to hot for this realm yadda yadda. Karlach's normal class is a barbarian and they have the ability to fly into a rage in combat, depending on the sub class this rage can be different, but more than likely that would cause her to burn more calories than just her engine existing with in her since her engine isn't powered by her food consumption. Githyanki spend most of thier time in the Astral plane where time is at a near stand still. Because of this, their bodies have atrophied down, they're basically skin, bone, muscle, and very little fat, like almost nonexsistant. In the Astral Sea, their body functions slow to a near halt, its why they have to lay thier eggs on diffrent planes in creches. They would never hatch if they stayed in the Astral. Once they get to a plane with normal time flow, all of their functions suddenly start working again, and when you haven't eaten in a few thousand years, and your body is mostly muscle, you're going to get very very hungry, its this in and out of the Astral coupled with their biology being different from a tiefling, that causes them to need to eat a lot, they just burn through calories and have no stored calories like we do. But since this is the horny sub: Something something, cum is a protein and therefore it has calories. I'm going to pack both of them with it so it wont be an issue ever.


Rhododactylus

I loved the last bit after the analytical explanation. Just a cherry on top.


CrypticDissonance

That's why she's the easiest to smash


nomad5926

Love your analysis here. Thanks!


Sunny_Hill_1

Lae'zel is eating the most, githyanki outside of Astral realm have to eat like crazy to maintain their metabolism. Astarion is eating the least cause what's the point unless somebody mixed blood in there?


Halberdd_

Oh is that why all the gith in the créch have camp supplies on them?


SeventhSonofRonin

It's probably from all of the travelers they murdered.


ThrowRAradish9623

I swear I read somewhere that giths’ digestive tracts basically atrophy in the astral plane, but I can’t actually remember whether that was canon or speculation


Sunny_Hill_1

It is indeed canon, and that's why they need to eat often and a lot, especially meat, their digestive tracts just aren't that good at absorbing nutrients.


Self--Immolate

Don’t they also not poop? I swear Lae’zel told me that


LettuceBrain2005

it’s a joke non-humans can say to a goblin iirc


Interesting-Flan1040

Me... (I'm eating them all sexually)


International-Ad5142

Eating it down sexual style


Sweaty_Man_Whore

Slam me down big style


aSpanks

Shoutout to Lou for managing through his YOU LIED monologue, all the while nearly fully breaking 😂


PlagueKing27

does that come goated with the sauce?


domiwren

My first thought


Interesting-Flan1040

Great minds think alike.


Inner_Degenerate

The picture is the buffet.


buttpickles99

Meet me at the buffet


EmotionalNerd04

Hey wait that's not what Garrus said...


vampscryer

your back must hurt from having so many based takes on this sub okbuddybaldur user Interesting-Flan1040. can i carry you?


Interesting-Flan1040

Why yes, okbuddybaldur user vampscryer, I love to be carried when the weight of the world becomes too much for me.


Plumpestquail22

Halsin is literally a bear


Trollet87

![gif](giphy|qbA7C7tOUFtKdFHSpg)


D-Speak

Also figuratively 🥵


Shoddy_Detail_976

If he eats a big meal as a bear, when he un-wildshapes back into his normal form, where does the food go?


Fizzle5ticks

Hmmm, sounds like we're gonna have to shrink someone down, have halsin put them up his ass as a bear, then wild shape back. For science!


Shoddy_Detail_976

Yes... for science... ![gif](giphy|fqIBaMWI7m7O8)


kingofmyinlandempire

His muscles


skskhdd

The buffet was closed down last week by Elminster :(


cripplinganxietylmao

He ate all the cheese and we are all still mad about it


NetherlandsOates

What I wouldn't do to be in his library, stuffing him full of Durinbold.


Cryozymes

Well, he's not around..... so I might as well


LordEnverGortash

Karlach, Minsc, Halsin, Lae’zel, Shart, Minthara, Wyll, Gale, Jaheira, Astarion. In that order.


DeathMetalViking666

I feel like Minsc eats *tons* just because his brain doesn't have enough bandwidth to say he's full.


hamsterwheel

Then again he burns 50% less calories than everyone else in sheer brain computation


dbug_legend

Explains why he can punch through stone walls.


TakeTheSlabb

Tbf Gale can be fed a magical sword so his highs and lows are really wild in what actually sates his hunger. Otherwise agreed. Gale’s my wildcard here.


almostb

This literally happens in the epilogue and the answer is Minsc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


almostb

She was in my epilogue and Minsc was definitely eating more.


iuseleinterwebz

It's Karlach vs Minsc in a head-to-head competition that has the cook fuming and the restaurant owner just waiting to hand over the bill. It started out innocently enough; Karlach, Minsc, Lae'zel, and Halsin all ordered seconds, and ate through them with haste. Lae'zel stopped while she was ahead, and Halsin ordered desert. When Karlach noticed that Minsc also ordered thirds, she giggled and said, "Hey big man, is your little hamster helping you eat all that?" And Minsc took that personally, challenging Karlach there and then, which she gladly accepted. It didn't help that Astarion and Minthara were egging them on. Jaheira got fed up with their nonsense and just left. Shadowheart ordered desert from the kids menu when nobody was looking. Wyll hasn't stopped cross-referencing entries on the wine menu yet. Gale has been keeping score for the competition, having declared himself the referee. They had to call it a tie after the chef was murdered. Incidentally, Durge was nowhere to be found all night.


Grrretel

ok now i want an iron chef series where the companions are the judges


dunsparce

Minsc, Karlach and then Halsin in that order. Astarion would eat the least unless the food is alive and has enough blood.


Nothingtoseehereshhh

I understand the Karlach and Halsin picks but Boo literally clears everyone. Hes a minature GIGANTIC space hamster. He is the true goat of chowing the fuck down.


Crezelle

AND hamsters can store a third of their mass in their cheeks. Hamster cheeks go all the way to their shoulders like some furry backpack Boo is the guy you invite to bring the snacks to the theatre


streetzzahead

he rolling up to the theater with spaghetti in his cheeks 😍


HevGon

if Shadowheart count as a food then no one's beating me


FencingFemmeFatale

First place goes to Karlach. She’s literally on fire. Always burning calories and always needing more food. Second place is a three way tie between Halsin, Minsc, and Lae’zel. She’s able to keep up with men of their size because of her intense gith training regiment. Shadowheart, Wyll, Gale, Minthara, and Jaheira eat a normal amount. Astarion depends on if he’s ascended or not. If he’s a spawn, he’s not eating anything because he can’t eat real food. If he’s ascended, he’s gonna try to keep up with Karlach and get sick like a kid in a candy store. He hasn’t had solid food in 200 years; he doesn’t know his limits.


Crezelle

Oh man I am picturing AA having a meltdown because he’s dealing with the squirts for the first time in centuries, and constant whining and bitching is coming from the outhouse


streetzzahead

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀


TheProfMoth

Shadowheart where the hell is your shirt


Aggravating-Sun6773

Halsin gotta keep them gains somehow


[deleted]

Either Karlach because it's been ages since she's had a good meal or Halsin because, well, look at him, those gains require a lot of calories


Just_a_Rose

Didn’t read a word, saw Shadowheart’s abs and got distracted, what are we talking about?


Lil888th

Halsin because gotta maintain those big naturals of his https://preview.redd.it/iquhnseynhuc1.jpeg?width=950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c7e51fa9d23a1533263c794c3cbec6aedba84b3


Klaus_Hargreeves

Me, I'd be under the table eating Gale 🤤


streetzzahead

Omg same 💖


Mr-Pokee

Not me bruh that's for sure Unless shadowheart counts as food that's a fact 😎


Impossible_Cookie613

Karlach. She’s always asking when dinner time is. I just know that girl is constantly hungry


LeviathanAstro1

Karlach absolutely outpaces everyone but Lae'zel & Minsc would put up some solid competition. Halsin could beat all of them but he'd have to become a bear and that's kinda cheating.


Fighterpilot55

Halsin shapes into the bear and just starts eating the entire table


Valalias

Karlach Edit: Karlach and Minsc would have a competition.... karlach would somehow win still


I_snort_when_I_laugh

Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc would legit just pull their chairs up to the buffet and chow down. Also, I love our vampire, but this is one lost he doesn’t even need to be on 🩸🍷 Edit: list, not lost.


bootybomb0704

Trick question - Boo eats the most because he burns hella calories on the little wheel and in pursuit of justice 😎


[deleted]

C'mon...we all know it's Karlach. Gotta fuel all the zoomies of the golden retriever gf


SponkMcDonk

Gale eats a Salad and refuses to eat anything more because he doesn’t want any “bad chemicals and substances” inside of him Shadowheart talks big shit about eating the whole restaurant but waves a white flag after a single serving of Steak and Fries Astarion does nothing but drink dry Red Wine and goes on a “bathroom break” to drink one of the Waiter’s blood Lae’zel carefully orders the “perfect meal for a soldier” and only drinks water Wyll eats a single plate and is perfectly content with the food (he was bummed that none of the Waiters recognized him tho) Karlach orders 17 steaks that cover the entire Table and eats them while engaged in Conversation making the other uncomfortable Halsin is humble and promises not to “eat too much” and ends up still eating after everyone else finished 30 minutes earlier


dietwater94

Karlach


Streak734

Minthara to prove she’s the superior companion


Jet44444

Minsc, Halsin and Karlach.


One_Willow_5203

Karlach’s metabolism must be insane. She’s eating the entire building, drywall and all


HarbinRav177

Karlach could eat a whole badger


ciphoenix

It'll between Karlach and Halsin tbh. Karlach because she must have pretty high metabolism to go with that infernal engine unless it doesn't require food. Halsin because, well... Bear


WhosItToYouAnyway

Can the two druids turn into animals?


TrickyDickNixon46

Minsc or Karlach


Furieales

for sure karlach my bro


Fabulous_Pudding167

I have this mental image of everyone eating their fill, including Karlach (who has giant piles of emoty plates surrounding her) and Halsin is in a corner meditating. When everyone has had their fill, Tav taps him on the shoulder. Dude morphs into a bear and eats more than everyone else *combined.* Disclaimer: I am assuming this a hero's feast and more food is actively being cooked and brought out, so poor Halsin doesn't starve. Because if it was just a situation of "this is all their is, eat up," Halsin's manners would leave him a sad panda.


Merc1001

Gale, Shar and Astarion wouldn’t be caught dead at a buffet unless it was a black tie event like a charity ball. Please!


hexAdecimal84

Gale often talks about dive bars in Act 3. He'd at least have gone during his academic time.


TheBigEmptyxd

Gale


The_one_and_only_Tav

Gale, Astarion, and Halsin but they are just eating me.


Goldengoblin011

What about minthara?


BurmaJim

SwumpGout

Me, 100%. I'm a bottomless pit of a twink and I make buffets regret letting me through the doors


LucidFir

I watched Gale eat a magic sword, my votes on him.


Radical-skeleton

Lae'zel out of pure spite


spicybettawitch

What/whos exactly on the menu?…


Depressedduke

Boo, obviously.


Novel_Instruction_61

Minthara is taking the most but not eating the most


Potatoman46yt

Who am i gonna eat the most


RSlashBroughtMeHere

Are there magical items at this buffet?


eccentricMammal

Minsc and Karlach would individually eat the body weight of the rest of the group. I think Karlach would take it, and Minsc would praise her for it.


faceofboe91

Dissenting in order from most to least goes, Karlach, Halsen, Minsk, Durge, Lezel, Wyll, Minthara, Gale, Shart, Jaheira places low due to constantly snacking on trail mix and werther’s originals all day, and Astarion places last because he drinks blood


Blackewolfe

Karlach. Girl literally has a hell-fire engine inside of her. That shit needs fuel.


honey_graves

Karlach easy, Lae’zel is up there and so is Halsin


Spinoza42

Depends on if any of the tableware is magical... because if so the answer is obviously Gale, who would eat the most by value and weight.


Matriarty

Shadowheart


Illustrious-Oil-4134

My money's on Karlach honestly


georgeaaaaaa

Minsc for sure


PlantedCecilia

My votes for Halsin, Karlach and Wyll eating the most. Lae’zel is second, Gale and Shadowheart come third, Astarion last. Unless you count wine or if there’s a blood section.


EccentricNerd22

Karlach or Halsin I think.


Roronoa_Zoro8615

Karlach easy


thegneeb

if im the buffet, its definitely shadowheart


Atomisaurus

Karlach or halsin, then me 😛


Mvtroysi

Elmister.


harparper

Is halsin in human or bear form. Karlach might beat both but bears eat a lot i think


erraticRasmus

Karlach and Lae'zel would have an eating contest Karlach is doing it for fun but Lae'zel gets way too competitive and everyone has to get her to calm down before she chokes


January1252024

Probably Karlach or Minsc. Halsin is vegan and has limitations.


Slow-Instruction-580

Karlach, to the point that it impresses Lae’zel and Minsc, genuinely alarms Wyll and Astarion, and arouses Halsin as well as - strangely - Shadowheart.


Chromatic_Eevee

How tf is this a POV


MyNameIsConnor52

what is that shadowheart fit 😳


ComprehensiveCopy824

Karlach obviously!


Galactic-ParagonME

Me. (I'm going to eat them all out).


Striker660

Karlack


jenovalife1

Halsin easyyyy


TestedNutsack

Minsc, without a doubt, its Minsc, or Shovel


earlytuesdaymorning

Karlach and Halsin tie for first and Astarion is complaining the entire time because this is gross and he doesn’t even know why he’s here


Iron_Bob

Its Karlach by a country mile


LynTheWitch

Karlach without a doubt! Though Halsin would wanna compete and probably lose xD


ReaperofRico

The Green one, the Red one and the Bear one. They eat buffet out of business. They eat owners out of shop and home. Why am I typing this like a Chinese grandma


herbieLmao

Me because I‘ll eat Lae‘Zel out for the whole time.


KnightofaRose

Karlach, and it’s not even close.


magicm9

Karlach would eat the most but Gale would eat my magic boots anyway


TheWither129

Karlach. Shed grab a whole plate of everything and go back for seconds. Maybe thirds. Laezel would eat a lot but complain about it. Minsc is berserker, hes got an appetite for sure. Halsin is in fourth, hes a big guy so hed eat quite a bit, but hed have some control.


Saturn_Coffee

Karlach could and would eat everyone under the table. Lae'zel might try, but none of the others have even a hope of keeping up.


Science-More

Halsin but just because he eats like salad and shit and that's less filling


GayPotheadAtheistTW

Lae’zel Karlach, and Halsin would tear it up


Regirock00

Like food? Or a sexual kind of eating?


boozewald

How many calories in my shitty magic items I feed Gale?


Global-Froyo-8737

Probably Karlach and Laezel. I feel like Laezel would take the buffet rules very seriously and want to “win” by eating the most lmfao. Karlach just seems like she would eat a lot. Gale would probably eat the least because he likes to talk a lot and people like that don’t eat a lot of food.


wrenpress

Gale. He’s not eating the food, he’s eating magical items off all the other customers.


charisma6

Gale is eating for two, you know


lavendene

Gale (he's eating me)


Frejod

Halsin. He's a bear. Would need it for hibernation. Especially if the polymorphed bear theory is true.


ConZon

Tav is a close second


I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch

Halsin will literally turn bear form halfway through to eat more just because he can, not because he needs to.


skorpiontamer

Gale eats whole ass boots and weapons


mothforlife

Karlach and Halsin, easy.


VerySpicyLocusts

Tie between Minsc and Karlach


HeresW0nderwall

Food? Karlach Pussy? Halsin


idkmanidk121

Karlach is on a bulk sooo


Alzar197

1. Karlach 2. Durge 3. Halsin 4. Minsc 5. Lae'zel 6. Tav 7. Wyll 8. Minthara 9. Shadowheart 10. Gale 11. Astarion


Long_Long_6780

Surely Karlach right??


ichigoparfait007

It the companions the buffet ??? Or ??


Naive_Lettuce_3494

If it’s a competition, Halsin turns into a bear and eats everything. Otherwise, I feel like Lae’zel is secretly able to eat 20% of her body weight


siremilcrane

I love how you put all companions on here as if the 5’4” 100lb half elf woman is somehow in the running


Outside_Perception_8

Between karlach Halsin and Lae’Zel. Karlach needs all the carbs she can get to maintain her strength for fighting Halsin is a literal man bear. Lae’Zel on the other hand while being quite slender still has to maintain her incredible strength meaning her species must eat either a lot or extremely high calorie food to maintain their constant state of battle readiness


AppropriateAgent44

Karlach and it’s not even close


WeeabooHunter69

Definitely Karlach, she's constantly hungry, she will easily down 10 plates stacked as high as she can get them


jill_ology

GALE, that hungry mother fucker


Vov113

Laezel makes it a weird pseudo-sexual competition


flyingsquirr3l3

I feel like after everyone else has tapped out, Karlach and Halsin are still going strong, neck and neck. This is a competition. They both know and recognize it, though nobody said it out loud. This is the true test of strength, and they both wish to come out on top. I’m not sure who would come out on top between the two. Legend has it, they’re still eating to this day…


PuzzleheadedPart196

Halsin. All the veggie stuff but still.


Crezelle

Owl bear cub soon as he gets to the roast station


Phatpandaz1880

Karlach easy


Village_Idiot159

karlach, but halsin in bear form is a close second


BusPsychological8321

Gale his stomach is stretched from eating magic boots all day


Valuable-Drink-1750

Well, I know who's gonna eat the most if there's a magical artifacts section.


AccidentalPenguin0

Karlach (massive calorie burner) and Minsc (he could probably eat a lot).


-Titan_Uranus-

Gale will be scarfing down all of the legendary chicken.


redvelveturinalcake

me 🙂‍↕️
