Eddie Hall’s 15,000 calorie a day World’s Strongest Man diet

He may have retired from the strongman game now, but Eddie Hall made history when he deadlifted 500kg of weight in 2017. Reaching this level required an extremely tough workout regimen for the athlete.

It’s one thing having to do the gruelling training routines to build up the strength, but building muscle and strength also requires a large calorie intake. For Eddie, the numbers only got bigger to reach his goal.

While training for the World’s Strongest Man, Eddie would put away as much as 15,000 calories in one day, an astonishing figure. For context, the NHS’s recommended daily calorie intake for men is 2,500 calories.

This daily meal plan looks like something a hobbit would put together, especially with the second breakfast. It also involves several snacks, energy drinks, and protein bars.

There is also a good mix of red meat, carbohydrates, as well as lots of fruit. Just looking at the amount of food to eat in one day would be enough to tire out most people, never mind the intense workout sessions.
