Big Turk Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) This is crazy...most athletes talk about how they take care of their body by putting high quality food into it daily... DK Metcalf doesn't care about that. His normal meal routine: Workout in the AM, Get a Starbucks coffee around noon, Mix 2 big bags of candy like Lifesavers creations and Skittles gummies together and eat that around 4pm, Eat his one meal around 9pm and then go to bed. He has almost no body fat and is ripped and huge. Basically shows that if you have great genetics nothing else really matters, you can do whatever you want. For the rest of us humans, if we tried that we would likely be 300 lbs. https://www.si.com/.amp/extra-mustard/2023/07/22/seahawks-dk-metcalf-eats-just-one-meal-a-day-in-bizarre-candy-centric-diet Edited July 23, 2023 by Big Turk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's all sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and Lifesavers, until the day you're a Popeyes biscuit away from Gettleman chasing you for filching granola bars from the training room table. 🤨 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Yeah, all that sugar will eventually catch up to him in the form of pre diabetes, which runs heavily in Blacks. During that interview with Josh, Taylor Lewan or the other guy said the general public would be shocked how many players in the league eat absolute junk. Supposedly the number is much higher than those who carefully curate their diet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to eat/drink literally anything I wanted, always had a good physique up until I hit 32 last year, noticed for the 1st time in life my stomach was gaining weight. I now only drink water and booze and eat once or twice a day, usually pretty healthy. I still steak and chicken but always add nice amount of greens on side. Pretty much back to my old physique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 OP you glossed over the workout part and attributed his physique only to genetics. He's burning more calories in that one am workout than we do in a week of workouts. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's going to cost him eventually if doesn't wise up. Imagine how much better he'd be if took better care of himself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 This is yet another example where diet and nutrition, in the NFL, is still mired in the dark ages relative to other major sports in the year 2023! I literally can't fathom that these teams don't have a team of dietitians who work with every single player, develop a meal plan for that person, and then try to make sure they stay on that plan. As far as I know, they are serving cheeseburgers and fries at the "cafeteria" at OBD. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 So he fasts for 14 hours and works out once? That will definitely keep the weight off of you 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and controlled GH from January through March as testing usually Tampa up in April and GH clears much faster than steroids. The guy eats only once a day and probably does two workouts a day. Lifting functional trading and then some version of HIIT or cardio. He’ll age. He may not and I’m only speculating, but not naive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m not mistaken the NFL does test but it’s not as strict as the Olympics or anything like that. So guys know which substances they can get away with and which ones will get them caught Edited July 23, 2023 by DJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lot of nutritionists would say to be muscular a man that big might need (I'm guessing) maybe 150 to 200 grams of protein a day. I highly doubt he gets that in one meal. Then again, he may be exaggerating and doing protein supplements and not mentioning it. Edited July 23, 2023 by Nephilim17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its critical for elite athletes and if they don't choose to follow the teams nutrition recs then they better have their own nutritionist.
