Intro
Pro athletes are often thought to be the epitome of health and fitness. After all, you can't make a living playing sports if you're out of shape and not eating healthy, right? Nah, just take one look at Delonte West. The Dallas Mavericks guard is listed at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds but he has the eating habits of the fattest players in NBA history.

So, as you sit back and envy dude's amazing metabolism check out our Gallery: Delonte West's Love Affair with Food.
