The recent indulgence of CBum in his favorite food comes after eating six meals daily to maintain his ‘Epitome of Human Physique’ avatar. “I was eating five meals for a while, and Hany wanted me to up it up to six. So, I was eating 220 grams of meat every single meal for five meals, and then I cut it down to 180 grams of meat,” Bumstead disclosed in one of his training prep videos this year. Now that the event ended with a blast for CBum, he will stay away from the sport for the next few months.
