Regan Grimes Breaks Down 3,000-Calorie Day Of Eating Ahead Of New York Pro

by Greg Patuto Published on May 7, 2025

This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure policy).

Regan Grimes is preparing to make his return to the stage and will bring his best.

Men’s Open bodybuilder Regan Grimes announced in January that he plans to compete at the 2025 New York Pro. As he continues on with his prep, Grimes shared his current meal plan which consists of 3,000 calories daily.

Grimes made the jump from Classic Physique to Open Bodybuilding and has carried great expectations since. Grimes won the 2021 Egypt KO Pro to qualify for the 2022 Olympia but did not compete because he wanted to add more size.

Grimes returned to competition last year and earned a victory during the 2023 Europa Pro Championships. This earned him a spot in the 2023 Olympia, where he finished ninth. Grimes has been hard at work bulking up again this year with a goal of returning in 2025 and has pegged New York as his time.

Regan Grimes Full Day of Eating

Regan Grimes Instagram

Grimes shared his full day of eating consisting of six meals and 3,001 calories:

Meal 1

The first meal of the day came after Grimes finished his fasted morning routine. He makes sure to add sauces so the food is not dry.

  • 100g Cream of Rice
  • 100g Blueberries
  • 1.5 cans Tuna
  • 10g Coconut Oil
  • Mustard
  • Hot Sauce

“Super simple but right now, everything is delicious. I just got back from my morning routine.”

Meal 2

The second meal of the day did not feature carbs. While there is time when he has to meal prep, Grimes prefers to eat meals right away so they are fresh. This meal also featured the same sauces from the morning.

  • 250g Chicken
  • 200g Green Beans
  • Salt
  • Mustard
  • Hot Sauce

“If I do it like this and eat it right away, it’s not dry. It’s not chewy, it’s perfect.”

Meal 3

Regan Grimes puts this meal together before hitting the gym. It is a meal featuring carbs, which is not common during the day, but is important pre-workout.

  • 70g Banana
  • 80g Cream of Rice
  • 50g Protein Shake

“Only have carbs in a couple meals so it has to be timed properly.”

Meal 4

After the gym, Grimes adds more tuna into his meal plan. This is not something he does often but since it is just one day, it works.

  • 2 cans Tuna
  • 2 pieces Sourdough Bread
  • Mustard
  • Hot Sauce

“I wouldn’t recommend having tuna twice in one day. It’s just one day so it’s not a problem.”

Meal 5

Regan Grimes put together another carb-free meal for his fifth of the day. This was a simple combination that did the job necessary.

  • Orange Roughy
  • Lettuce
  • Italian Dressing

Meal 6

The final meal of the day included steak. This is the only time that Grimes opted for beef while also mixing in sauces and a vegetable.

  • 180g Steak
  • 200g Asparagus
  • Salt
  • Mustard
  • Hot Sauce
