Full stomach

Appreciate your appetite, I can eat 3 times filling my stomach "full to the brim" with that amount of food, It can easily fill the entire stomach of 4 to 5 person.


Please correct my sentence "full to the brim" is that phrase correct?

This phrase is usually used to describe a container that has been filled up to the top (=brim or rim). Since the stomach is an organic container, then I can't see any reason why you shouldn't use it here. For me, it certainly conveys the image of a very full stomach which I think was your intention.
