The sport of bodybuilding is not easy by any means. The humongous bodybuilders that fitness enthusiasts admire have to go on some serious off-season bulks in order to get this massive. Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler was one of the bodybuilders who got insanely big during his prime. Revealing the secret behind this, he thanked his diet during a podcast with Ryan Pineda.

‘The Comeback Kid’ disclosed during the interview that, however, he does not believe in the concept of counting calories; he was probably taking around 6,000–7,000 calories during his prime bodybuilding days. While he did rely partly on a few components of his diet for his recent ‘Fit for 50′ transformation, the exact details of his daily dietary regimen will come as a shock to many.

Jay Cutler gives insights into his barbarian diet

During the conversation with Pineda, amidst many other topics, Cutler opened up about his diet. He revealed that after gulping two cups of egg whites along with amino acids, Cutler had two whole eggs with two slices of Ezekiel bread. He also ate a cup of cottage cheese and a bowl of Gritz, along with this, as part of his breakfast. He further revealed that he had never been a fan of counting calories. He disclosed that, at times, he was eating over 100 eggs daily.

Cutler continued by explaining, “I would buy 30 dozen eggs at a time from a local farm…and I would buy a whole cow, and then I’d buy 140 pounds of chicken at a time. So I had two freezers in my garage, and I would eat five pounds of meat a day plus the eggs.”

Cutler has always been open about his diet and training practices with his fans and viewers. Even during his recent 12-week transformation, Cutler was open about his progress as well as his approach toward nutrition and training. He accepts that he had some weird, crazy-sounding dietary principles. However, he states that he did not eat for taste but to improve his size and conditioning.

Cutler and his shocking food practices

Cutler revealed in a resurfaced video that he drank his protein with Mountain Dew at times. He used to eat burned pizzas on his cheat days. Jay popped in a few calcium, vitamin, and glutamine tablets, too, before a grueling workout session.

He admits that his food habits were a bit too extreme and crazy. “Sometimes you don’t eat for taste,” Cutler said. “I eat to get big; I don’t care what it tastes like” is what he believed as a professional bodybuilder.
