‘Absolutely addicted': Brisbane man reveals exorbitant amount he spent on Guzman Y Gomez in the past year

How many times can you have your favourite meal before you get sick of it? One Aussie is clearly pushing the envelope as he reveals his insane eating habits.
Tyler Carroll's love for Australian founded fast food chain Guzman Y Gomez is no secret, and he has been caught up in a viral whirlwind since sharing his excessive spending habits online.
The 27-year-old took to TikTok to prove that he was the Mexican chain's number one fan, revealing the ridiculous amount he has spent there in the last financial year.
'I want to show you guys how much f....ing Guzman I've eaten over the past year,' the Brisbane local said.
'We can see that I've eaten 395 times... that is an average of more than one per day.
'I will get it for breakfast, lunch and dinner pretty often.'
Averaging a meal from GYG 1.4 times per day, his spending habits at the chain are unsurprising.
'That is $6500 spent at Guzman last financial year... and guess what, I'm probably going to spend another $6500 this financial year, I LOVE Guzman,' Carroll revealed.
'I love GYG, I'm never, ever getting sick of it.
'I'm absolutely addicted to GYG — its almost become a personality trait.'
The most shocking revelation — he refuses to use the chain's loyalty program which could have saved him more than $400, saying 'the product is so good I want to spend full price.'
With an addiction that crippling the big question on everyone's mind was — what does he order?
Despite ordering 395 times in a year, Carroll said that his order rarely changes.
'For breakfast I'll typically get a bacon or a chorizo burrito in a medium meal with a iced latte — normally bacon,' he said.

'For lunch I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken.'
'For dinner I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken — If I'm in a deficit I might switch it to chicken tacos or if I'm in a bulk then I might add a bag of corn chips to lunch or dinner.
'It ends up being somewhere between 2000 to 2500 calories per day and about 120 to 160 grams of protein per day.'
The saga has blown up over the past few days, with fans expressing their differing opinions on Carroll's eating habits.
'You sir are living the dream,' a comment wrote in envy.
'How do you afford $6500 a year on takeaway??,' one said.
'As a stranger with no stake in this whatsoever I'm begging you to get on that loyalty program, you're stressing me out,' a sentiment many shared about the absurdity of Carroll choosing to pay full price.
'Yeesh, I wouldn't be mad if this was zambrero, not even if it was mad Mex . But Guzman , cmon man,' a viewer said trying to start one of the oldest debates known to man.
'You might as well start working there and get 50% off,' a comment pointed out.
'Wow 🤯,' former Australian NBA player Matthew Dellavedova commented on Carroll's post.

Tributes flow for beloved Australian actor Julian McMahon following his death after a private cancer battle

Australian actor Julian McMahon has been remembered by family, fans and co-stars after the 56-year-old's death following a private health battle. McMahon died in Clearwater, Florida on Thursday after a battle with cancer. The Australian-American star's death was confirmed by his wife Kelly in a statement to Deadline. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she said. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.' Son of former prime minister, Sir William McMahon, Julian became an actor, first making a name for himself with a role in the popular Home and Away. He went on to have numerous starring roles in popular television programs including Another World, Profiler, Charmed, Nip/Tuck, Runaways and FBI: Most Wanted. McMahon also portrayed Dr Doom in the superhero film Fantastic Four and its sequel in one of his most notable roles on the big screen which earnt him a nomination for choice movie villain at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. His performances in Nip/Tuck saw him receive nominations for Best Actor on Television at the Saturn Awards in 2005 and 2006 while he also received a nod for best actor at the Golden Globes in 2004. Tributes have poured in from some of McMahon's co-stars from over the years. 'Julian you force of brilliance, wild talent and humour," Rose McGowan, who starred alongside McMahon in Charmed, posted. "For you, your family and loving fans all over the world, I pray comfort.' Fantastic Four co-star Ioan Gruffudd said the news of McMahon's death was "terribly sad". "Even though we played each other's nemeses, there was always so much lightness and laughter working together. Every encounter with him was a joy,' he said. 'It was an honour to be Dr. Richards to his Dr. Doom. My heart goes out to his family 'God speed, Julian.' Another Charmed co-star, Holly Marie Combs described McMahon as "one of a kind" but said that was an "understatement". "Your zest for life and crazy making sense of humour will be sorely missed," she said. 'The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered. I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals."

The sweet tribute read in part: 'To the best puppy there is and ever was, my love for you is infinite Sandy. I will forever be missing you until we meet again.' Julian sweetly replied: 'Love. That's it! Right there. Thank you!' McMahon's death was announced by wife Kelly McMahon on Saturday, giving a statement to Deadline. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she said.
