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.”

Cutler’s approach to dining out while sticking to his fitness goals shows how he balances nutrition even at 50. Moreover, in the caption, he addressed a common question he gets about eating clean while dining out. His answer was a “YES,” he went on and emphasized, “You can eat clean at almost any restaurant, given you know what to order.”

He encouraged his followers to enjoy occasional treats like cheesecake, emphasizing moderation rather than strict denial. Many fitness enthusiasts can relate to finding this balance between enjoying food and staying disciplined. The former Arnold Classic champion’s post caught the attention of Blond Myth, who humorously jibed at it.

Interestingly, on Cutler’s post, the Australian bodybuilder, Lee Priest left a humorous comment, saying, “Oh, you went out to eat what you eat at home how exciting lol I love you, Jay.” In response, Cutler replied with the same sentiment, “@leepriestofficial72 lol u kill me.” While he usually follows a high-calorie, protein-rich diet to stay in the perfect shape, he also values enjoying food experiences.

Summing it up in his Instagram post caption, Cutler said, “THAT SAID…every now and again some cheesecake won’t kill you!” This light-hearted take on fitness and nutrition reinforces the idea that enjoying treats in moderation is part of a healthy lifestyle.
