One of the most trending and hyped fitness creators at the moment is Sam Sulek. Despite being just 21, Sulek has a mass-monster physique that most individuals can’t even achieve after decades of training. Not to mention, Sulek is not a natural bodybuilder and does rely on performance-enhancing drugs. However, despite taking steroids, his transformation is awe-inspiring.
While he is open about his PEDs intake, what has helped him the most in putting on so much size at such a young age is his humongous diet. Even though he recently got bashed for his poor diet, there is no denying that he eats a whole lot of calories, along with a ton of protein that helps him with muscle hypertrophy. As a clip of Sulek recently resurfaced on the internet where he talks about the importance of real food over protein shakes, many from the lifting sphere commented on the same.

Gone are the days when whey protein supplements were thought of as some unnatural product. Thanks to the advent of the internet, whey proteins are becoming a lot more common in households than they used to be. Even though the protein content may be the same, there is no denying that dietary supplements will never be able to replace the nutrients and health benefits that real food can offer the body. Pointing the same out in a video, Sulek stated, “Why would I eat this instead of drinking a protein shake?”
Sulek, who is currently on a cut, further explained, “Let’s say I was in a rush; I could drink 50 grams of protein worth of protein shakes and move on. It’s just not filling!” He pointed out that even though the macronutrients might be the same, the satiation point of a shake and that of raw food vary a lot. Adding to this, Sulek said, “The whole point for me right now is…kinda feel a little full but not eat foods that are full of calories!”
Upon coming across the post, many from the fitness community expressed their views on the same. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions from the users.
Netizens were surprised to see Sulek’s recent diet
One of the users commented on the post by saying, “If Sam Sulek is eating “normal amounts of food” then I must be f**king starving right now,” while another user wrote, “This guy ate the whole pharmaceutical industry.” Another hilarious comment from one of the users was, “How much protein is in your hair conditioner is the real question??”
