The four-time Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler, known for his disciplined approach to fitness and diet, recently gave his fans a peek into his dining experience at The Cheesecake Factory. Despite his strict routine, Cutler humorously began in a clip posted to his Instagram, “Unfortunately, we gotta go to Cheesecake Factory.”
Cutler, who once adhered to a rigorous 6000-calorie diet to achieve peak competition form, openly admitted that he never truly enjoyed food. Subsequently, for him, eating was merely a necessary task in his relentless pursuit of excellence in the bodybuilding stage. However, during his recent post-workout meal, Cutler made some interesting choices. Let’s take a closer look at his commitment to clean eating, even when dining out.
In the video post, he shared what he ordered. He opted for grilled chicken breast, plain white rice, a salad with vinaigrette, raw salmon, and even indulged in French fries. Reflecting on his meal, he joked about his dessert choice, saying, “I’m not gonna bulls**t you. This is a low-carb cheesecake. I don’t even know what that is if there’s such a thing. I’ll have to do my extra cardio tomorrow just because of this.”
