I recently spent a day following The Rock’s diet because, #1 I’m crazy, and #2 I’m crazy. I even wrote an entire article about my experience. (Find it by searching I Tried Eating like The Rock For A Day in Spoon University) However, part of this challenge meant researching exactly what The Rock eats in an average day and making all of that food for myself.
The meal plan I followed is slightly adapted from the meal plan published in this article, with a couple tweaks to account for ingredients I couldn’t find or wanting to use up all the groceries I had bought. The meal plan includes 6 meals, almost 5,000 calories, and so, so much cooking time. However, the challenge was a success in the end.
Meal #1:
10 scrambled eggs whites
3 servings of oatmeal
Some chives to make eating 10 scrambled egg whites a little easier.
Meal #2:
1 of the biggest chicken breast I’ve ever seen
2 cups of asparagus
3 cups of yams
Meal #3:
I think this meal was what The Rock probably classifies as a snack. If a snack is:
3 tins of tuna + relish
1 cup of celery + a spoonful of peanut butter
2 cups of rice
Meal #4:
1 very yummy XL salmon fillet
3 cups of rice
2 cups of asparagus
Meal #5:
1 6oz steak (yummmm)
2 cups of broccoli
3 cups of yams
Meal #6:
The last meal of the day is, in a weird full circle moment, the same as the very first meal I had 14 hours earlier. It also compounded the fact that I never want to eat another scrambled egg white ever again.
10 scrambled egg whites
3 servings of oatmeal
A sprinkle of chives
Conclusion:
This meal plan is absolutely ridiculous for the average human, but for a guy like The Rock who has almost no fat on his body and works out 6 days a week — it works for him. My experience of trying this diet as a 135 pound girl was very eye-opening, honestly such a joke, and very rewarding.
