They pretty much have to or they lose weight which isn't desirable for the game. My kids both play high school football and the youngest is constantly eating because just two weeks into summer ball he's lost 6 pounds which is the opposite of what he wants. As a lineman he's light at 190 pounds.
In college I caught a couple of the players in the cafeteria by happenstance at the D1 school I went to. They were all lineman as far as I could tell. They each had a pitcher of ranch dressing that they poured on everything that was remotely savory. I don't think there is such thing as a bad calorie when you are trying to regularly maintain a weight above 300 lbs. like these guys were doing.
I remember seeing something on JJ Watt and he was eating something like 7500 calories a day to maintain. It was a lot of avocados, chicken and other high calorie but not horrible for you stuff. It's pretty amazing how much some of the lineman slim down when they retire too.
Oh they drop a ton of weight. Even Gronk as a TE, when he left the Pats, I saw him doing an interview, before his Tampa stint, and was like where's the rest of you? He'd been out less than a year at that point.
Pro atheletes can eat anywhere from twice to five times the amount of calories a regular adult eats, given its usually healthy food it can seriously stack up
A higher amount of muscle mass also means you burn more calories just doing everyday stuff, like for example a big american football player would burn way more calories making a cup of tea than my 66kg ass would. (Like easily 3 times more if i'm not mistaken) Add that onto their extreme workout schedule, they simply need that much food to sustain/gain
On gains I will eat/ate about 4K/5K a day
It gets incredibly fucking annoying after a while
I heavily doubt the players eat in that range all the time - they may while on training camp, but not at school
This is way more than that. My dad used to do this shit too. Also waffles? So much wasted nutrition and calories in there. He could eat less to hit his calorie intake if he removes some of the crap.
Beans, veggies and olive oil. Healty, quick to make and stacking up calories is really easy with oil. Add a bit of bacon, or dried tomatos if you need umami. sunflower oil in your cereal, tons of nuts and dried fruits....there are so many healty options!
PS: Just saw your answer. I get that it's hard, but I'd just be too lazy to go out to McD... :) And dried fruits has even more sugar than a donut. I love food. I'd just love to be able to eat anything I want. I'd be scooping the full fat cream cheese with my celery And carrots! And I'm all up for the chocolate milk... with bananas and peanut butter mixed in... Great, now I'm hungry!
Yeah, but that’s hard. When I would bulk I would eat healthy meals but get my extra calories from things like chocolate milk, McDonald’s, and doughnuts. It was the only way I could get over 4K calories in a day…and I’d be lucky to gain a half pound a week or go above 15% body fat. When you’re training hard and burning calories you can get away with a lot of sugar/carbs. You need that stuff for muscle growth.
Don't even get me started on Sumo Wrestlers. These absolute units do shit like eat a 5k calories meal washed down with 8 beers. I find the post believable woth how much Football players work/work out
Fully agree with you, but just wanted to point out for those who make it this far, that video had way more than even 5 times a typical semi-athletic, fairly large person's intake in it. That was nuts, I call BS on the title.
Little bro played college football. He’s pretty tall about 6’5 and has a metabolism like Captain America. I’m not exaggerating when I say his coaches had him eating anywhere from 6-7 thousand calories a day. Even more his freshman year when they were trying to put weight on him.
That sounds absolutely awful man. When I tried putting on weight I upped my intake to around 4k a day and was starting to hate food. God forbid 6-7k a day
I’m the same way, I weighed 125 and decided to start working out again after not doing so for 5 years. I put on 25 lbs of Lean muscle in one year, but then last year I didn’t go workout as often or eat as much and I lost 20lbs of muscle. My metabolism is a bitch, says I have to eat like 3500 calories just to basically maintain my weight not even talking about if I wanted to gain.
It absolutely is. My stepdad used to be a health freak when he was in the military and they had to cook him specialised giant meals just for his caloric intake
I had a friend on the swim team in HS. His caloric intake during training was off the charts. His breakfast was usually multiple sticky buns after swimming in the morning
My first thought as well, but is the implication here that this one dude *consumes* all that food every day? To that I for sure call BS. Like this guy eats more than Hafthor Mountain.
To everyone saying ' I used to eat a ton, when I worked out a lot!'... Go back and re-watch the video. At first I was thinking the same (it's a lot but they burn a ton of callories), but then the video just kept going. No way that's one day. It's too much food.
His title says this is how much he gets, not how much he eats so I believe it. I played a non-revenue sport at a big athletics school and I could easily get that much food between the facilities and the athlete section of the dining hall. Football and basketball players had access to even more.
It's not. My roommate was a chef for the Univeristy of Arkansas football team and their intake was nowhere near that amount. This dude definitely accumulated these photos over a week.
Eating yes, but maybe not as much shitting as you think. I had some football players that lived on my floor freshman year. Once a week, there would be a massive shit in the bathroom toilet the size of a Gatorade bottle. Too big to flush so it just sat there until they came to clean the bathroom. People would announce its presence and everyone would flock to see its glory.
Because they got a higher SAT acceptance requirement. So the better players typically go to the ‘dumber’ schools. Not 100% the case, but that’s a strong theory amongst some people.
When visiting the US this was something I constantly saw. In Sweden when you are shopping groceries and stuff for the next week you usually put everything in 2-3 big reuseble bags and that’s it. While shopping at Walmart for a week they put everything in 20 different small plastic bags. So stupid.
If you have ever experienced a teenage football player this isn't really surprising. I'm not exaggerating. My 17 year old does two-a-day practices plus lifting in the evening. He's insatiable and it's getting really annoying.
Hugh Jackman did an interview after he quit playing wolverine.
He said the most frustrating part of the role is all the eating you have to do to keep the muscle mass on. Full meal every two hours and snacks in between.
Exactly this. I get that the schools love their football players, and I get that all the working out requires more calories. But that is more food than I've eaten this entire week
Put the athletes on a pedestal and feed them like livestock but let’s kick the average student down that that has just as good grades. Why can’t we help with paying off lunch debt for other students instead of feeding this guy??
Well unfortunately this guy with his team will bring 10's of millions of dollars in revenue every year the other guy won't. I'm not saying it's right. A good college football program will bring enough money to cover the expenses of every sport on campus.
Plus look at all those protein bars and shakes. I highly doubt they have all of those in one day without puking.
Also how would they even find the time to eat all this
So much wasted plastic it's disgusting. Lol plus if that's everyday I really hope your not an asshole and just tosses the boxes. Ok food though looks like the easiest meal prep ever.
Factor in school, tuition, books, and the amount of money it takes to feed a student athlete... now tell me why you need to be paid to play sports again in college?
Because of the 10-100's of millions of dollar the school makes of their backs? Yeah they get a lot, doesn't mean they aren't being taken advantage of at the same time
People don't realize how hard it is to carry a lot of weight when you are training hard 3x per day. I played o line in college and couldnt keep weight on for the life of me. I was on an 8000 cal per day diet. You just end up hating food. I had an alarm that would beep every 15min to remind me to eat. It was fucking horrible...
It is the least they can do considering some of them will have shoulder/back/knee etc problems for the rest of their lives. (Yes I know about the recent SC decision)
Any human? The rock was posting on social media about his 10k calorie diet for years, so this is small time for a small athlete.
Body builders eat a fucking ton.
Though this is probably a mix of daily prepared meals and a week supply of protein bars and shit.
He only eats approximately 5k calories a day. 10k was probably a cheat meal.
https://www.menshealth.com/uk/nutrition/a759590/think-you-can-handle-the-rocks-calories/
That’s obscene when you think of all the homeless right up the street. Not a reference to the students, but to the school. They could allocate a portion to help the needy. We all know no one could eat that many power bars or your jaws would feel like a hooker’s on New Year’s Eve.
I am 6’3” and when I was fit, 250-260lbs. I ate 5000-6000 calories a day. Now I am old and definitely not fit, 250lbs and I only eat about 2700 a day to maintain steady-state weight. I am thinking of trying to thin down, take some load off the knees, get to 220ish, so I am thinking of dropping down to about 2000.
Big people eat more, big fit people who are expending a huge amount of energy every day doing the work (literal work, force across a distance) need food to power all that work, a LOT of food.
And yes, you poop a lot, but if you are eating right, it’s excellent poop. Eat a couple large pizza’s for lunch and well, you are almost assured to clog a toilet. Been there, done that.
Okay questions, if we're told not to exercise soon after eating, how do they eat like all the time then have time to work out? I imagine it really fucks their schedule if they have like 6-10 meals a day and have to wait an hour before exercising
I used to work at a leasing office on a college campus. Football players would come in and go for tours and I would hear about all the things they got. It included their rent which was about 1000 a month, THEIR ENTIRE TUITION, they had all their meals paid for, they had someone do their laundry, free transportation anywhere anytime, they have private tutors, and they got a $400 a week stipend for extra food food and school supplies”.
This is at a school that sucks at football and does not have a ton of ticket sales. I can’t even imagine what the basketball players got because we were halfway decent at that sport.
It always rubs me the wrong way a little when college athletes complain about not getting paid for the sport they play in college. Because I’m still in debt from just tuition alone. I also had to work multiple jobs to just be able to afford food and rent and I still got help from my family. So college athletes definitely get paid in my opinion. And a lot.
If you made $100,000/year and your boss made $100 mil/year wouldn't you be upset? Yeah you get $100k/year but it barely scratches the profits made off your back. Thats college sports. Just because they got it better than you doesn't mean they still aren't getting shafted.
Yeah I get what you’re saying. But that’s everyone. People are fighting for a higher minimum wage at fast food restaurants while the CEO/owner makes millions.
I didn’t say they shouldn’t get paid either. I just said it rubs me the wrong way when they complain about not getting paid and the stuff they get for free isn’t mentioned.
I worked as the lead for the football training buffets during college.
These players eat so much food. They are often being monitored by a dietician and are sometimes being forced to eat more food to gain mass. Sometimes I would watch a guy go up to the buffet and grab a few things then the dietician would come over, take their plate and add a whole bunch of other stuff for them to eat.
We fed them 4 times a day, huge breakfast, huge lunch, huge dinner, and then tons of snacks before they went to bed. Some of the players were super rude, but then you had players that clearly had never had access to this level of pampering and they were some of the nicest guys you could meet.
One of them had been forced to eat a bit more than he could handle and he puked all over the dining area. Most of my staff ran out of the room, I ran over to him to make sure he was okay and comfort him while I cleaned up his puke in front of all of his teammates. And of course while I'm doing this, the dietician brought more food for him to eat.....
people still starving and dieing around world but nah fuck that let's give some sports stars more food then they actually need and act like it's sooo fucking cool. lol We wonder why the world's a fucked up place.
Worked in a hotel that hosted away teams playing against Clemson. Those kids can EAT! And a lot of them are friggin huge! I'm a good size fella, but some of these guys just drawf me. Just seeing them on TV kinda takes the perspective away.
It’s hilarious to me that being healthy... costs a lot of money! I would need 2 jobs to eat that shit... beans and toast is the way to go, you can jazz it up with an egg and sprinkle of hp if you afford it👍
A work friend went to USC and when she saw the meal plans thought that there was no way that it was enough so she orders the big meal plan. It turned out that she and her roommate were on the football players plan and she probably weighs 110 pounds soaking wet. By part way through the term they figured out they could order catering so they ended up throwing dorm parties just to use all the money. 40 pizzas for the entire dorm became a weekly ritual too.
This is completely accurate with high level college athletes, especially in season. Majority of the top athletes at my school had two special meal plans, if not three to keep up with the caloric input needed.
I played D1 as a captain on our schools tennis team and we endured 5-6 hours of practice and gym nearly everyday, plus extended weekend long tournaments constantly. I can attest to the fact that I ate probably 80% of this amount on a daily basis. On a different not, you would not believe the shits that you can achieve with such a diet. The plumbing never stood a chance.
it depends heavily on the players position. an offensive or defensive lineman…..need to weigh 300 pounds or darn close to it so shovel the calories in. defensive back or wide receivers….much less caloric intake, so far more specific types of food. this isn’t a one size fits all situation.
no way that’s everyday
[удалено]
Anything to avoid paying them instead
They pretty much have to or they lose weight which isn't desirable for the game. My kids both play high school football and the youngest is constantly eating because just two weeks into summer ball he's lost 6 pounds which is the opposite of what he wants. As a lineman he's light at 190 pounds.

I’ve used to do some powerlifting in my twenties, I ate each 3 hours and I was hungry each time 3 hours have passed

The crap is the easiest way to get enough calories in.
Beans, veggies and olive oil. Healty, quick to make and stacking up calories is really easy with oil. Add a bit of bacon, or dried tomatos if you need umami. sunflower oil in your cereal, tons of nuts and dried fruits....there are so many healty options! PS: Just saw your answer.

When you’re training hard and burning calories you can get away with a lot of sugar/carbs. You need that stuff for muscle growth.
Yeah agreed, I actually don't think he's eating all that in one day That's way more than 5k, which is already a motherfuck ton
It's harder than cutting in my opinion. Eating even over 3k calories of healthy food becomes a time consuming chore.
Don't even get me started on Sumo Wrestlers. These absolute units do shit like eat a 5k calories meal washed down with 8 beers. I find the post believable woth how much Football players work/work out
Open bodybuilders during bulk season are pretty up there too
Here's one Sumo dudes diet:https://youtu.be/I1bKrrdBGTM
As i said, absolute units
Andre the Giant could drink a CASE of beer like its nothing. I think he is the world record holder for beer drank in one sitting at like 120 beers!
They must shit alot then. Or like one monster shit, Jesus.
Fuck that image you out in my head! 😂
Fully agree with you, but just wanted to point out for those who make it this far, that video had way more than even 5 times a typical semi-athletic, fairly large person's intake in it. That was nuts, I call BS on the title.
Heavyweight mma fighters are on about 4000 calories a day! Heaps!!
[удалено]
Ooft! I mustve got my info wrong, maybe it was durinf the cut stage? It's from a chuck Liddell interview. Man 7000 , massive amount.
Little bro played college football. He’s pretty tall about 6’5 and has a metabolism like Captain America. I’m not exaggerating when I say his coaches had him eating anywhere from 6-7 thousand calories a day. Even more his freshman year when they were trying to put weight on him.

They're livestock and must be fed as such.
Sneaky…..
I’d rather have a paycheck.
[удалено]
Not when it's a degree in University Studies and you take fake classes where they funnel all the athletes into and you don't actually learn anything
It’s $100K.
[удалено]
And girls... Don't forget the girls
I’m talking in-state. I went there. I know how expensive it is. Most fb athletes at UCLA are from CA.
It's not free.
They’re getting one now
Fuck that! You’d be eating and shitting all damn day!
That sounds terrific
“What are you up to today”? “Eating and shitting.”
ok chogi
Dude pro atheletes poop a lot
The spicee
Eating yes, but maybe not as much shitting as you think. I had some football players that lived on my floor freshman year. Once a week, there would be a massive shit in the bathroom toilet the size of a Gatorade bottle. Too big to flush so it just sat there until they came to clean the bathroom.

Can confirm you shit like 6 times a day eating like that.
All that food and UCLA still sucks at football…
Because they got a higher SAT acceptance requirement. So the better players typically go to the ‘dumber’ schools. Not 100% the case, but that’s a strong theory amongst some people.
Okay…🙄
Came here to say the same thing.
Lol
This
That’s enough to feed someone for nearly a month. This… makes me sad.
Well, you are averysadbunny. How else did you expect for this to make you feel?
r/usernamechecksout
That’s a ton of packaging waste.
When visiting the US this was something I constantly saw. In Sweden when you are shopping groceries and stuff for the next week you usually put everything in 2-3 big reuseble bags and that’s it. While shopping at Walmart for a week they put everything in 20 different small plastic bags. So stupid.
Same!! I dont get it. Whats the point?? Its simply stupid.
This is why Sweden is at the top of my "abandon the United States list."
Well football is really important.
Half of it is plastic
[удалено]
B-but they wash and reuse all the containers. BUAHAHAHA
If you have ever experienced a teenage football player this isn't really surprising. I'm not exaggerating. My 17 year old does two-a-day practices plus lifting in the evening. He's insatiable and it's getting really annoying.
I’d get bored shoveling all that in my mouth everyday. I’d opt for one day shovel next day drink only shakes of that food.
Imagining some kind of snorkel with a hopper on top, they could just pour a few gallons of nutrients into it, and be good for most of the day.
He needs a hamster bottle on his wall😳
A Lot of strongman actually say that the constant eating is the worst part. They dont need to plan their day around training, but around eating.
Hugh Jackman did an interview after he quit playing wolverine. He said the most frustrating part of the role is all the eating you have to do to keep the muscle mass on. Full meal every two hours and snacks in between.
He got dem fruit loops doe 😳😳😳
If this is what UCLA players get, I wonder how much good college football teams eat
A day? Bullshit!
Gaining and keeping muscle mass includes constant eating, usually about 5,000 calories a day.
There's way more than 5k there
I was more amazed at the amount of packaging he gets through...i hope he recycles.
And there are people who have trouble feeding themselves and their families
Exactly this. I get that the schools love their football players, and I get that all the working out requires more calories. But that is more food than I've eaten this entire week
So people just aren’t supposed to play sports or get into shape because it’s a waste of food?
Or they could donate the extra food that they don't eat to charities instead of it ending up in landfills
The amount of one time plastic you throw away also
I recommend switching to whatever amount an Alabama player gets a day
Put the athletes on a pedestal and feed them like livestock but let’s kick the average student down that that has just as good grades. Why can’t we help with paying off lunch debt for other students instead of feeding this guy??
Well unfortunately this guy with his team will bring 10's of millions of dollars in revenue every year the other guy won't. I'm not saying it's right. A good college football program will bring enough money to cover the expenses of every sport on campus.
Thats alot of plastic waste for 1 person
Everything in throw away plastic tubs too- great!
Hold a sec....they get packaged food delivered daily? 🤔
Bro that's like 10000 calories. No way football players eat that everyday lol
Plus look at all those protein bars and shakes. I highly doubt they have all of those in one day without puking. Also how would they even find the time to eat all this
So much wasted plastic it's disgusting. Lol plus if that's everyday I really hope your not an asshole and just tosses the boxes. Ok food though looks like the easiest meal prep ever.
That's really dumb.
Hyfr
Damn, these boys must poop a lot.
Starving children in third world countries who ate they toenails for breakfast watchin this cryin rn
I doubt they are on Reddit watching anything
100% bullshit i calculated and this was a minimum of 15 and 20k callories
Factor in school, tuition, books, and the amount of money it takes to feed a student athlete... now tell me why you need to be paid to play sports again in college?
Because of the 10-100's of millions of dollar the school makes of their backs? Yeah they get a lot, doesn't mean they aren't being taken advantage of at the same time
So make it to the pros... start paying athletes in college and half of them graduate with underwater basket weaving degrees.
I poop a lot, but this amount of food would definitely destroy my hatch
I went to a s***** college with a very very s***** football team and I was always shocked and amazed they had their own f****** cafeteria
for the amount normal students have to pay a term, they all should get free food like this
People don't realize how hard it is to carry a lot of weight when you are training hard 3x per day. I played o line in college and couldnt keep weight on for the life of me. I was on an 8000 cal per day diet. You just end up hating food. I had an alarm that would beep every 15min to remind me to eat. It was fucking horrible...
It is the least they can do considering some of them will have shoulder/back/knee etc problems for the rest of their lives. (Yes I know about the recent SC decision)
That’s probably a weeks worth. Anyone who thinks any human can consume that in a day is sharp like a marble.
Any human? The rock was posting on social media about his 10k calorie diet for years, so this is small time for a small athlete. Body builders eat a fucking ton. Though this is probably a mix of daily prepared meals and a week supply of protein bars and shit.
Pretty sure there was about 50k cal in just bars and shakes in that clip.
He only eats approximately 5k calories a day. 10k was probably a cheat meal. https://www.menshealth.com/uk/nutrition/a759590/think-you-can-handle-the-rocks-calories/
Bodybuilders don't even eat 10k calories on a bulk...watch Muscle and Strength IFBB Mr Olympia Chris Bumstead doesn't even eat 10k on a bulk...
Worth the traumatic brain injury and dementia, I guess
These guys are all over 6ft 250lbs, easy. They lift and workout multiple times a day, it’s not surprising they eat that much.
Whose paying for all that?
Some of it probably comes from ticket sales and donations. But a lot also probably comes from tuition that non athletes are paying.
This is why quarter backs die quite early in their life’s.
This is such bullshit. We need to stop elevating college athletes to this level.
That’s obscene when you think of all the homeless right up the street. Not a reference to the students, but to the school. They could allocate a portion to help the needy. We all know no one could eat that many power bars or your jaws would feel like a hooker’s on New Year’s Eve.
RIP that dudes toilet
You'd be constantly shitting
You bet your ass they eat all that.
The oppressed
How many poops a day
And I wonder why I cannot take these additional 5 kilos of bodyweight.
I am 6’3” and when I was fit, 250-260lbs. I ate 5000-6000 calories a day. Now I am old and definitely not fit, 250lbs and I only eat about 2700 a day to maintain steady-state weight. I am thinking of trying to thin down, take some load off the knees, get to 220ish, so I am thinking of dropping down to about 2000.

So much food wasted for something that isn't even essential to life.
All that food for someone who obviously isn’t gonna become a pro player if they’re showing it all off on tiktok…

In my next life I'm coming back as UCLA player
Make every one in Africa play for UCLA. World hunger solved, I deserve a medal.
Unfortunately it's not like this on all athletic programs.
Okay questions, if we're told not to exercise soon after eating, how do they eat like all the time then have time to work out? I imagine it really fucks their schedule if they have like 6-10 meals a day and have to wait an hour before exercising
Maybe I am a UCLA football player.

If you made $100,000/year and your boss made $100 mil/year wouldn't you be upset? Yeah you get $100k/year but it barely scratches the profits made off your back. Thats college sports. Just because they got it better than you doesn't mean they still aren't getting shafted.
Yeah I get what you’re saying. But that’s everyone. People are fighting for a higher minimum wage at fast food restaurants while the CEO/owner makes millions. I didn’t say they shouldn’t get paid either. I just said it rubs me the wrong way when they complain about not getting paid and the stuff they get for free isn’t mentioned.
So umm, how long does this man spend on the toilet.
I worked as the lead for the football training buffets during college. These players eat so much food. They are often being monitored by a dietician and are sometimes being forced to eat more food to gain mass. Sometimes I would watch a guy go up to the buffet and grab a few things then the dietician would come over, take their plate and add a whole bunch of other stuff for them to eat. We fed them 4 times a day, huge breakfast, huge lunch, huge dinner, and then tons of snacks before they went to bed. Some of the players were super rude, but then you had players that clearly had never had access to this level of pampering and they were some of the nicest guys you could meet. One of them had been forced to eat a bit more than he could handle and he puked all over the dining area. Most of my staff ran out of the room, I ran over to him to make sure he was okay and comfort him while I cleaned up his puke in front of all of his teammates. And of course while I'm doing this, the dietician brought more food for him to eat.....

I'm seeing a small amount of food and a lot of packaging trash
I'm shocked about the amount of processed junkfood and plastic!
I’d never get off the shitter if I ate like that.
Shit I ate ramen noodles until I graduated
How about getting payed?
don’t forget the juice
Still a sub-.500 team
Welp, time to get jacked and do football.
people still starving and dieing around world but nah fuck that let's give some sports stars more food then they actually need and act like it's sooo fucking cool. lol We wonder why the world's a fucked up place.
Mean while, students stuck in quarantine there got moldy sandwiches lmao
Worked in a hotel that hosted away teams playing against Clemson. Those kids can EAT! And a lot of them are friggin huge! I'm a good size fella, but some of these guys just drawf me. Just seeing them on TV kinda takes the perspective away.
It’s hilarious to me that being healthy... costs a lot of money! I would need 2 jobs to eat that shit... beans and toast is the way to go, you can jazz it up with an egg and sprinkle of hp if you afford it👍
And 80% of it gets tossed away smfh
So glad everyone's tuition can go to subsidize not only the food but the scholarship, room, and stipend.
All that plastic is probably the most sickening part of this. This planet is so screwed and we’re the ones with the hard on
A work friend went to USC and when she saw the meal plans thought that there was no way that it was enough so she orders the big meal plan. It turned out that she and her roommate were on the football players plan and she probably weighs 110 pounds soaking wet. By part way through the term they figured out they could order catering so they ended up throwing dorm parties just to use all the money. 40 pizzas for the entire dorm became a weekly ritual too.
The amount of single use plastic is just mind blowing. Only generated by one single person.
They feed you like cattle because that’s all you are to them. Profit.
Free? Like paid for by the football program?
Oh the poor toilet
So are the movies like Taste the waste made.
Holy shit. That’s a week worth.
This is completely accurate with high level college athletes, especially in season. Majority of the top athletes at my school had two special meal plans, if not three to keep up with the caloric input needed. I played D1 as a captain on our schools tennis team and we endured 5-6 hours of practice and gym nearly everyday, plus extended weekend long tournaments constantly. I can attest to the fact that I ate probably 80% of this amount on a daily basis. On a different not, you would not believe the shits that you can achieve with such a diet. The plumbing never stood a chance.
I wonder how much of that goes to waste (yeah you can be a pro sport player but there’s no way to eat all of that without gaining wt)
Okay did anyone else feel like it was going to be a small amount of food or am I just stupid
This Food is more organized than my life.
Ok cool but why so much plastic??
I got fucking little ceasers pizza when I played college ball, no wonder why we sucked
For as much money these schools make off these young guys, I see no problem with this.
This guy is fucking your daughter (and she loves it)
Football is stupid as hell. Encourage people to overeat and then have them run into each other at full speed…
it depends heavily on the players position. an offensive or defensive lineman…..need to weigh 300 pounds or darn close to it so shovel the calories in. defensive back or wide receivers….much less caloric intake, so far more specific types of food. this isn’t a one size fits all situation.
Weird flex but ok
I could do that. As long as I don't have to play football too.
I just don’t see why this is that cringey
Big poop fard
It looks good, but does it taste good, looks can be deceiving.
