Arnold Schwarzenegger shares how to add protein into your first meal without meat.

7-time Mr. Olympia champion, Arnold Schwarzenegger put together an incredible career based on his elite physique. He was able to follow a strict diet and workout plan that led to many victories on stage. Since his competitive days ended, Schwarzenegger has tailored his diet plan in a different way. Recently, Arnold shared his go-to breakfast full of protein.

Schwarzenegger has shared many fitness and nutrition tips in his daily newsletter Arnold’s Pump Club. He has focused on a vegan-based diet and this has led to finding alternatives within his diet plan.

“My favorite breakfast is Greek yogurt and granola. I also do eggs sometimes with a lot of veggies. I love lentils, some of my favorite restaurants have bowls with lentils and grains and veggies.”

Schwarzenegger built a career that has him known as the greatest bodybuilder of all-time. After coming over from Austria, Schwarzenegger caught eyes because of his insane physique and turned it into a legendary career on stage. On his way to seven Olympia titles, Arnold did great things for the sport of bodybuilding as a whole. He continues to be an influential figure in the sport.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Favorite Breakfast

Arnold Schwarzenegger might not eat as much meat as he used to but still makes sure to add some protein into his diet. He mentioned these sources as his go-to proteins — eggs, salmon, chicken, veggie burgers, lentils, beans, and chickpea soups.

“IN THE MORNING, AFTER MY WORKOUT, I USUALLY HAVE OATMEAL OR GREEK YOGURT…FOR LUNCH, I ALWAYS HAVE A SALAD. SOMETIMES WITH A PLANT-BASED BURGER OR MAYBE SALMON OR CHICKEN. OTHER TIMES, IT’S WITH A SCRAMBLE OR OMELETTE…FOR DINNER, I ALWAYS HAVE SOUP. I LIKE TO EAT LIGHT FOR MY LAST MEAL.”
