I’ll basically take any opportunity I can get to write about The Rock, because I think he’s awesome. Don’t even bother disagreeing, because it’s pretty much fact. Anyway, here’s something that’s hilarious but probably not all that surprising: he has to eat a lot to stay as buff as he is. Duh, right? But if you want to know something more specific, here’s a little factoid for ya: The Rock eats 36 ounces of cod every day.

In a piece for Muscle & Fitness magazine, The Rock broke down his 4,000 calorie per day diet, and holy shit, does he eat a lot. Obviously he needs to with the amount he works out, but I was vaguely shocked at the breakdown! You ready?

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

Seems pretty intense… and yet, delicious. Plenty of protein, no sugar or processed shit and some nice veggies. We should all be eating like The Rock… only maybe like, 1/4th the amount.
