English term or phrase: Harry is a real chow hound, and he’s got the love handles to prove it
Tengo esta expresión idiomática del inglés que necesito saber en español. No necesito una traducción literal, sino una frase en español que se le asemeje en el sentido. Sé que se trata de una persona que come mucho, pero no encuentro una expresión adecuada en español.

Perdón, acabo de ver las propuestas de otros colegas y advertí que no te incluí nada para el resto de la frase. Así, te propongo esto:
Harry es un tragaldabas y sus lonjas lo demuestran (es el equivalente en mexicano para love handles).
Ojalá te sirva
