John Cena is one of the most popular pro wrestlers with a remarkable physique and charisma adored all over the world. Such is his popularity; people not related to wrestling even know his name. The Champ had an early rise to success and quickly became one of the most successful pro wrestlers of all time.
He made his WWE debut in 2002 and has never looked back since then. Currently, he is a full-time actor in Hollywood, an irony compared to his and The Rock’s WrestleMania 27 feud. However, Cena often makes appearances on WWE programming, taking time from his busy schedule. However, prior to acting and WWE, John Cena was a competitive bodybuilder.

John Cena has one of the most impressive physiques in all of sports entertainment. And to maintain such a physique, one has to have extreme determination and a strong will. A strict diet and a challenging workout regime are a must for having such a godly physique.
Other professional bodybuilders, such as Ronnie Coleman and Arnold Schwarzenegger, also had such peak figures. And they maintained it crazy as well. YouTuber Aseel Soueid took up the challenge of eating like Cena a few years ago. In the end, he felt it to be a “Death Sentence”!
Imitating The Cenation Leader, he began the day with a hearty breakfast of 6 egg whites and 2 whole eggs, and oatmeal with raisins with a side of apple sauce. His second meal consisted of a protein bar, followed by his third meal of rice, vegetables and chicken breast. His fourth post-workout meal consisted of canned tuna in a pita bread. Soueid said, “I literally want to throw up… The whole apartment smells so bad. If you have a date, don’t ever eat tuna. It’s a death sentence.”
The fifth meal consisted of a smoothie. However, his next meal was again composed of rice, chicken breasts, and vegetables. His seventh and final meal of the day consisted of whey protein powder mixed with low-fat cottage cheese.
Cena eats 3613 calories daily, consisting of 448 grams of carbs, 289 grams of protein, and 63 grams of fat. His previous challenges have seen him gulping down the diets of Ronnie Coleman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, this might have been one of the blandest diets he has tried.
