If you can eat that much without ill effects, and enjoy it, I wouldn't knock it. I was there until about 28 or so; then I started gaining weight. Then I started working out and I was there _again_ until about age 35. Since then I've had to watch it.
Eventually it _will_ catch up with you, but so what? At that point, either cut back or change what you eat, or a little of both. I'm still a big eater, but I eat a lot more fruit and other healthy things. That stuff doesn't stick to you, if you're active at all.
Anyway, do you do heavy labor? I was talking bodybuilding once with a guy who complained that he couldn't gain any muscle, no matter what he ate. Turned out he was going to school full time, working part time during the week doing physical labor, and trying to keep up a farm on the weekends! And he was 22! His body had to nuke every single piece of food he ate just to make enough energy to keep going!
