Title: 6,000 calories per day - Vegan NFL player's diet
Post by: 240 is Back on November 13, 2014, 06:04:07 AM
Griff Whalen is toiling in the kitchen of his downtown Indianapolis apartment, in a charcoal gray T-shirt and jeans. His dog, Harper, is scrambling about after a pink tennis ball. His girlfriend is sitting nearby, chatting with Whalen about nutrients and vitamins.

It's dinner time for this NFL wide receiver, just days before his Indianapolis Colts take on the New York Giants, a guy who's just finished an intense practice and who burns up thousands of calories a day.

It's dinner time for this 24-year-old who weighs a solid 190 pounds – and who teammates say may just have the most enviable body on the team.

But what Whalen is whipping up for dinner is not anything you'd expect for an NFL player, for the Colts' go-to guy for punt and kick returns this season, for a guy who on average takes in 6,000 calories and 200 grams of protein a day.



EAT LIKE GRIFF WHALEN

Every morning, he makes a concoction of four ounces of water, a pinch of baking soda, a tablespoon lemon juice, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses and sea salt.


"As he likes to describe it, it's flat soda with no sugar," said Osadetz. "But it kind of wakes up your system and gets your metabolism going."

Breakfast: Engine 2 cereal (shredded wheat, rolled oats, whole grains) with almond milk, banana, chia and flax seeds. Smoothie with fruits, veggies, nuts, spinach and kale.

Snack: Apple, pear, orange or carrots.

Lunch: Vega protein smoothie with kale, spinach, banana and other assorted fruit.

Dinner: Baked sweet potato with red lentil pasta and kale salad.

Bedtime snack: Two pieces of Ezekiel 4:9 flax bread, toasted, with almond butter and banana. He adds cinnamon and cocoa power. Apple.

Drinks: Green tea, almond milk or water.

That diet (if he's eating normal portions of those foods) is 2500-3000 tops.

It's exactly that.  It's basically what he described for his breakfast minus the smoothie obviously.  It was created after a book called the Engine 2 diet came out.  I've only seen the cereal at Whole Foods and Natural Grocers.

He needs to reconsider veganism to vegetarianism, Marty Champions states that there's a 20% decrease in energy levels when one goes full vegan.

The one thing that trumps it is a RARE rib eye.

I like veggies, but I can't imagine giving up beautiful, nutritious and delicious meat.

I will respectfully disagree.  A ribeye has too much marbling to be served rare IMO, a longer cooking time gives the fat a chance to render out.  Leaner cuts like strip or tenderloin are better suited for serving rare.

130-140F is ideal for a ribeye

what i just realize today

pasta may be a lot more practical for bulking


if you cook 100grams of rice and cook 100grams of pasta

the pasta will be only half the volume of food to shovel down with about the same nutrient value


is there a catch?

if no catch i'm gonna replace rice with pasta and eating will be a lot easier

The problem with rare when it comes to a rib eye is if it's really thick it's hard to cook it all the way through at an even temp. I had had some thinner cut rib eyes rare that were really good.
