Russell Wilson apparently eats nine meals per day, totalling 4,800 calories.
This article is a good read. The biggest quote I took away, which has been brought up on this forum:
"He came in feeling as though he was too heavy and not mobile enough," Goglia said. "And he wanted to get his weight down. He was over 225. He felt as though he needed to be leaner and stronger and more agile. And that's my wheelhouse." This is a quote from Phillip Goglia, his nutritionist, whom Ciara begged Wilson to go visit this offseason.
This diet is intended to help Wilson slim down. Here is his daily diet:
Russell Wilson's Daily Meal Plan
Pre-breakfast: Tablespoon of almond butter and a tablespoon of jam
Breakfast: Two cups of cooked oatmeal, six whole eggs, fruit, chicken breast
Snack 1: Fruit and 12 almonds
Lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable
Second lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable
Snack 2: Fruit and 12 almonds
Snack 3: Fruit, 12 almonds and whey protein
Dinner: Fish or steak and vegetables or salad
Snack 4: Fruit and a tablespoon of molasses or shredded wheat, applesauce, almond butter and jam
The redundancy of "12 almonds" must be fate. He eats 12 almonds in honor of his fans. Woo hoo! :irishdrinkers:
Thoughts? :snack:
