I'm 190 pounds and I can't lift my own weight in a normal setting (IE, trying to just pick up a 190 pound crate of scrap metal...it'd be damn near impossible).
I also highly doubt any single person can eat more than 10 pounds of food. Stomachs aren't that big. Even Kobayshi can barely eat more than 10 pounds in all those eating contests he does. I mean, there are exceptions, like 700 pound people with massively stretched out stomachs from decades of overeating, but that's rare. Generally, an average human stomach probably won't hold more than 10 pounds of anything at once.
More on the Kobayshi example. His record was like 52 hot dogs with buns. An average hot dog is about 3 ounces, so using that logic, the meat he ate for his record (which was broken by Chestnut, but only by like three more dogs) is ROUGHLY 10 pounds, and those buns might add another two pounds...and that's a world record by a guy who does insane amounts of lifting just to keep his metabolism strong enough to handle that level of eating (seriously, Kobayshi is amazingly ripped).
So, fuck no. Nobody can eat their own body weight. Physically impossible. I'd just guesstimate that it'd be impossible for even the largest of stomachs to hold more than 20 pounds of food, and the average person can't stomach more than two pounds most likely.
As for lifting your body weight, that's just a matter of being insanely strong. Sure, most of us can deadlift and bench more than we weigh, but that's not a realistic scenario. Like I said, try lifting a crate full of shit that weighs as much as you do.
