Paul Wight reveals how much he used to eat earlier in his career.
Wight, formerly known as The Big Show, was one of the largest men in the wrestling world at the peak of his career. He used to weigh in at over 500 pounds, but he has lost weight in recent years.
Speaking with Jamie O'Hara and Dean Saunders on talkSPORT Breakfast, Wight noted that he used to be 490 pounds, but now he's about 405. When asked how much he used to eat when he was at his biggest, the veteran described how he used to have whatever he anted in massive amounts.
“How much was I eating? Two or three deep-fried little people. No. It’s always a terrible joke. Probably my calorie intake back in the day, but understand it’s a lot of empty, bad calories because I used to just eat whatever I wanted in massive amounts. So I’d probably say somewhere around 13 to 18 thousand calories a day. You’d get Big Macs, I’d get three, four Big Macs, and I’d get fries and I’d get a shake and get apple pies and probably a fish sandwich in there too. It was nothing to go to Taco Bell and get like 20 tacos. You can do that when you’re younger, and you’re still gonna be big, but as you get older, you realize, ‘Ah, well, I can’t really eat like that anymore.’ Now I kind of feel like I eat like a mouse. I have about ten ounces of protein, I have a small portion of carbs and [vegetables], try to eat halfway decent," Wight said.
