Paul Wight recently spoke with TalkSPORT for a new interview where he revealed his diet in his early time in WWE.
At the time, he weighed in the 500-pound range, and he would have to eat a lot to maintain the size. Here are the highlights:
His calorie intake at the time:
“My calorie intake back in the day — but I understand it was a lot of empty bad calories — I just used to eat whatever I wanted in massive amounts. I’d probably somewhere [between] 13,000 and 18,000 calories a day.”
What his eating habits were like:
“You’d get Big Macs and I’d get three or four Big Macs and then I’d get fries and then I’d get a shake and I’d get apple pies and probably a fifth sandwich too. It was nothing. I’d go to Taco Bell and get like 20 tacos.”
Losing a lot of weight in 2017:
“You can do that when you’re younger and you’re still going to be big. But as you get older you realise, ‘Ah, well. I can’t really eat like that any more. Now, I kind of feel like I eat amounts. I eat have about ten ounces of protein, I have a small portion of carbs and some veg. I try to eat halfway decent.”
