“Eating at Least Five to Six Pounds of Meat”: Strongman Brian Shaw Eats $60,000 Worth Food Annually

For bodybuilders and strongman athletes, nutritious food is an essential part of their diet. No wonder they sometimes spend a crazy amount on food supplies. Strongman Brian Shaw is one such person, and does not shy away from doing so.

Although some fans are aware of the calories Shaw consumes regularly, these latest figures related to his food intake have startled many. And it is not just any food, but a premium food item that makes Shaw spend big notes.

How much does Brian Shaw spend on food?

A recent episode of bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler’s podcast featured nutritional food delivery brand, Trifecta’s CEO, Greg Connolly. Brian Shaw is one of the brand ambassadors of this organically sourced food delivery service.

Hence, during the episode, Connolly, who is also close to Shaw, revealed his yearly food expenditure to the host and viewers. He disclosed, “Over $60,000. He’s eating at least five to six pounds of meat a day. I love Brian like a brother. He’s the nicest, tightest guy ever, but he likes the most expensive meats. He wants like 30 pounds of bison.” Looks like the rare and expensive bison meat is making Shaw spend a hefty amount. Yet the strongman refuses to change his diet.

Due to their heavy workouts and training, strongman athletes also depend on the right food consumption to build strength. And meat is the most important part of their diet.

However, fans were left in disbelief when all the items on the list totaled 120,000 calories. In fact, Hall also revealed that it cost Shaw $600 just for a week’s food supplies. Many fans also voiced their surprise in the video’s comment section.
