Paul Wight recently spoke with the folks from talkSPORT for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the former WWE Superstar known as Big Show spoke about his diet during his run with WWE, as well as losing a lot of weight back in 2017.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On 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.”
On 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.”
On 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 realize, ‘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.”
