Cutler has spoken about his insanely-large meal plans over the course of his career in the past. This includes an abundance of protein and egg whites daily. Now, he continues to follow a strict meal plan and getting all meals in is sometimes difficult. He has even called it the “hardest part” about bodybuilding.

Of course, this did not stop Cutler from enjoying great success on stage. He is a four-time Olympia champion who created one of the best on-stage rivalries with Ronnie Coleman during their primes.

Jay Cutler Talks Diet Methods During Career

Jay Cutler would consume an insane amount of protein daily, which sometimes included over 100 egg whites or pounds of red meat.

“I was eating out sometimes too but I would buy a whole cow at a time. I had two freezers in my house. At that time, I was probably eating four pounds of meat a day.”

A post shared by Jay Cutler (@jaycutler)

The overall dedication to his diet plan shows that Cutler was willing to do whatever it took to be the best on stage. His hard work translated into multiple championships and a physique that remains in great shape in retirement.

“I’d buy 150 pounds of chicken at a time, I’d buy 30 dozen eggs so I’d by a whole case of eggs and that would be my whole refrigerator. That’s how dedicated I was and I’d sit outside and I’d cook all my steak and chicken breast on the barbecue.”

Wrap Up

Overall, Jay Cutler’s diet is an incredible one, and he certainly had the physique to prove it. What do you think of Jay’s meal plan?
