Braun Strowman's Diet Consists Of
ALL OF THE FOOD
Braun Strowman is a really big dude.
Listed at 6'8" and 385 ell-bees, he's a hoss and a half.
And he needs fuel for that machine--lots of it. Speaking in an interview with the New York Stock Exchange YouTube channel (don't ask), he said:
"When I'm not flipping ambulances I'm in the gym stacking plates and banging weights. I eat 15,000 calories a day just to be able to feed the monster. It takes a lot to run almost a 400 pound frame. As far as training goes, sometimes I just go out into the woods and I beat trees down with my bare hands."
Let's ignore for a moment that he goes out into the woods and "BEATS TREES DOWN WITH HIS BARE HANDS." I mean, we already know that he likes to murder forests in his spare time.
Old news.
No, let's focus on the FIFTEEN THOUSAND CALORIES he needs just to keep moving.
That's a whole lot of KFC two-pieces.
Just to give you an idea ...
That's about 9,500 calories.
I think.
My math might be off.
But still.
What does Braun eat to get the 15,000 calorie mark?
10 large pizzas?
25 double cheeseburgers?
182 lean chicken breasts?
A whole cow?
Well, kind of.
According to a different interview with Inside the Ropes, Braun fills out his menu (and his belly) at Chipotle, six days a week, every week, and he's got a very specific, very expensive order.
"It's my guilty pleasure, even though I'm trying to get Chipotle to sponsor me, because I spend $150 a week in there. It's $25 dollars for every bowl. It's three scoops of steak, two scoops of chicken, double guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and corn."
I mean, I'm a big dude myself, and I love Chipotle as much as the next three guys, but even I don't think I could pack away an order like that even once without my gallbladder declaring mutiny on my whole body and keeling over into a very literal food coma.
But that's why Braun is so special.
Well, that and his ability to flip over ambulances.
