The above answer can also be improved. He can get 833 apples there.
==============================================================
(1) The driver loads 1000 apples (1/3 of them) and goes one km and drops off the 999 apples. He does this 3 times, so he loses 3 apples. He does this method for 334 km, losing 3 apples each time. So having moved 334 km, he has lost 1002 apples so he has 1998 remaining.
(2) Now he puts half the apples in the truck and goes a km drops them off and goes back to get the rest. He does this for 499 km, losing 2 apples per km. So he will have travelled 833 km and now has 1000 apples remaining.
(3) He puts the thousand apples in the truck and drives the remaining 167 km, losing one apple each km.
(4) He gets there with 833 apples.

The stomach will stretch beyond it's maximum capacity, but it takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to register that it is full. If you keep eating, the stomach wall will stretch.

These nerves do not like being stretched, and will send messages to you in the form of pain, telling you to stop eating.

Why the vital capacity of a marathon runner is greater than the vital capacity of a nonactive people?
If a person exercises a lot, he or she will not only train his or her muscles, but also his or her lungs. And since the lungs are surrounded by muscles, you train these muscles too. So a marathon runner has stronger lungs, that have a bigger capacity, as the muscles that surround can contract and stretch farther than those of a nonactive person.
