His cheat meals are famously huge, but that's not what gets Dwayne Johnson into the type of physical shape that has helped him to land roles in some of Hollywood's biggest action blockbusters.
His enviable physique is the result of years and years in the gym, but also in the kitchen, where a huge amount of the work that goes into getting in shape takes place. It doesn't hurt to do a few sets of 50 reps mind...
Anyway, he recently gave his daily meal plan to Muscle and Fitness magazine, where he detailed what he puts into his body to fuel his long days on set and the intense sessions in the gym.
Meal 1
10 oz cod
2 whole eggs
2 cups oatmeal
Meal 2
8 oz cod
12 oz sweet potato
1 cup veggies
Meal 3
8 oz chicken
2 cups white rice
1 cup veggies
Meal 4
8 oz cod
2 cups rice
1 cup veggies
1 tbsp fish oil
Meal 5
8 oz steak
12 oz baked potato
spinach salad
Meal 6
10 oz cod
2 cups rice
salad
Meal 7
30 grams casein protein
10 egg-white omelet
1 cup veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms)
1 tbsp omega-3 fish oil
You might want to work your way up to eating that much, as he eats over 4,000 calories a day simply to stay in the type of shape that he is in at the moment. Also, you'd have to be as active and dedicated as he is, something which he hastened to add in the notes at the end: "I do cardio 4–5 a.m., then take 4–6 scoops of Optimum’s Amino Energy", which he follows up with the first meal in the plan. He's not finished there when it comes to working out either: "After breakfast I hit the iron for 90 minutes [and] post-workout I have 60 grams Optimum Nutrition’s Platinum Hydrowhey with 15 grams of glutamine", as well as a bottle of Gatorade.
It's pretty much all-consuming, and it's no surprise that he's seen as one of the hardest working people in the business.
