* '''Played for Drama''': Danny's a heavyweight boxer, but he's always remaining just below the limit (he's around 190 pounds), but due to this trope, he's always forcing himself to speed eat and gain weight quickly, just so he can go past the limit. Every day for him is nothing but gluttonous hell, followed by brutal training regimens to turn all of the weight he just gained into solid muscle, all before it disappears on the day of his fight in one vicious cycle of gluttony.
