La del pobre reventar a que sobre.
Ahí va otro idiom difícil, lo usamos por ejemplo cuando nos invitan a una fiesta, y nos lo comemos y bebemos todo, el caso es que no sobre nada, aunque estemos que reventamos. Gracias.

And another way :
Mejor que sobre que no que falte. |

O también "mejor que zozobre antes que fa-falte" ¿no?
uf , que malo. |

En andaluz casi se podría decir: mejor que sus sobre que no que sus falte (más o menos, falta el acento y un buen seseo )

Is there other way, to say the same with the same sence.
A que sobre a que falta que la panza la aguante. This way is less popular but anyhow is used it.

Here are a couple of phrases that might work:
If you haven't eaten in awhile (because you couldn't), and you happened on a feast, anyone watching you ravage the table would say "it's like he hasn't seen food in years," or "he's eating like there's no tomorrow." Teenage boys are often accused of "eating someone out of house and home." A group of them could easily gobble up your food supply and then go to a neighbor's house or two to repeat the frenzy. At an all-you-can-eat restaurant, people have been known to graze for hours, complaining all the while that they'll "need to be carried out on a stretcher/in a wheelbarrow/in a wheelchair." "Let's eat until we drop" is a common phrase. We wouldn't want anything to go to waste, and we'd rather die trying to eat it all. This is a more dramatic way of saying "let's eat till we burst/explode." "Waste not, want not" is a well-known phrase that some might use, but it isn't always associated with overeating.
