Tom Stoltman walked fans through his meals during prep.
Tom Stoltman is preparing to hit the 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic in just two weeks which is taking place in Columbus, OH. The two-time World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champion shared a full day of eating on YouTube last week to show how he prepares to hit the gym in a big way.
Stoltman indulged in a cheat-day style of eating on this particular day. Stoltman was joined by his brother and fellow Strongman, Luke Stoltman, for some meal prep’s and their nutritionist Nathan Payton shared how he handles each competitor.
“When it comes to clean foods, they both can tolerate up to a certain amount and they holds them over and enables them to train. However, with the cheat foods and the different, specific things I do to target their training, which is where the performance-enhancement through nutrition, is night and day.”
Because Tom’s appetite is so large, Payton will sometimes have to alter his clean meals. While Luke, his appetite is not as large so he can simply add a dessert or other snack to the end.
“Tom, basically, he has the appetite of like a T-Rex. It’s never ending. When I decide that there’s a particular lift that he’s trying to target, I have to feed him might be four or five times that then when I tell Luke ‘you’re working on this and we’re going to target it in this manner.'”
“I might add a dessert to his clean meals while with Tom, I might have to throw a clean meal completely out. go completely pizza or pasta with all of the desserts.”
The full day of eating began with the Stoltman Brothers sitting down for a massive breakfast.
Meal 1
Tom Stoltman sat down for breakfast with Luke. The duo has never been shy about breakfast and was able to put down another calorie-filled meal here.
“It is the day before we go to work so what better way than a whole day of eating, Stoltman brother style. Right now, we’re going to eat, get big and get strong.”

- Potatoes

Meal 2
For the second meal of the day, the Stoltman brothers hit Five Guys. Payton advised both Tom and Luke to eat when hungry and this gave them freedom during this day. It is more of a cheat day for the Strongmen rather than adding in clean meals.
