Martyn Ford continues to follow a bulking diet while at 360 pounds.
It is no secret that bodybuilder Martyn Ford is massive. The British fitness star has used his massive physique to land many roles on the big screen where he can show off what progress he has made in the gym. In a recent interview, Ford shared that his diet plan can sometimes consist of eight meals and 10,000 calories if he is bulking, along with many supplements.
Ford has built an incredible social media following due to his insane size. Prior to bodybuilding, Ford played professional cricket. It was clear that he possessed great athletic ability and was able to use it in many ways.
The 6-foot-8 behemoth also gave boxing a try but never officially stepped in the ring. He was scheduled to take on Sajad Gharibi, knows as the Iranian Hulk, but the match was cancelled due to concerns over Gharibi’s mental health. While training for the match, Ford lost about 60 pounds. The insane body transformation kept Ford shredded while showing off a slimmer build.
Ford, who has training in MMA, has added more size but has maintained his ripped look. Because of his size at 6-foot-8, 360 pounds, the diet plan for Ford has to be large, especially when bulking.
Martyn Ford Discusses Food Sources During Diet
Martyn Ford sat down with Escape Fitness to discuss many aspects of his life and career. The topic of his diet plan came up and Ford broke down what foods he prefers.
“My appetite is ridiculous and I’m very carb-sensitive so like sweet potato, oats, rice. I could do three or four thousand calories in a meal easily, if I am not careful.”
Ford continued to discuss how a bulking diet can consist of eight meals and 10,000 calories. The diet changes depending on his goal but if Ford wants to add size, the sky is the limit on what he can eat.
“I’m still doing 4,500 calories dieting so it’s nice because it’s normal. Whereas I’m bulking, if I want to put some size on, I’m up to eight, nine, 10,000 calories.
A typical not training for anything day would be oats an eggs for breakfast. Rice cakes, cottage cheese, fruit, Greek yogurt snacks, nuts, snacks, and then sweet potato, salmon, steak, rice, potato chips but made myself in the oven.”

When packing in this many calories, Martyn Ford is able to do so around the clock and can fit in up to eight meals.
“Just generally, that kind of food is where I’m staying at. About eight meals a dal easily. When I’m growing, I can easily go up to eight meals a day. I’ll wake up starving and eat twice in the night.”
Ford ended the conversation by sharing the supplements that he takes. While bulking, he does not use any as a meal replacement but prefers protein shakes and greens following a workout.
“The big ones that I’d always lean on to will be glutamine, creatine, aminos. If I’m bulking, I’ll have a carb drink intra, post, and then isolate whey. Again, only after I workout. I would never replace food if I don’t need to with a protein shake.”
