Elmer

Explanation:

Let's write out each sentence and a relation from who ate less than whom:
1) Alex < Charlie
2) Bob < Fred
3) Alex < Dan
4) Dan < Elmer
5) Fred < Alex
6) Charlie < Dan

Now let's try to combine them:

  • 1, 3 and 6 tell us that Alex < Charlie < Dan
  • 2 and 5 tell us that Bob < Fred < Alex
  • those two above gives us Bob < Fred < Alex < Charlie < Dan
  • now add all that with 4 and we get that:
    Bob < Fred < Alex < Charlie < Dan < Elmer

So Elmer ate the most of them all.
