Transcript

Let's see what the highest IQ coach in the world eats in a day. So for breakfast, doctor Mike has protein powder, Gatorade, and another electrolyte mix all put together in a bottle of water. And then he goes straight from there to training. Barely any carbs in the system. Post training, he has a microwave meal and a bunch of slices of Jewish rye pumpernickel best. And then, of course, he has to get some real nutrients in. So he has four protein bars, instant decaf coffee, and another couple slices of that bread. For dinner, another microwave meal and more of the Jewish rye. And as a little late night snack to make sure his body has plenty of energy, he has cheese puffs and Pepsi. His day of eating is two microwave meals for protein bars, a loaf of bread and cheese puffs. Yeah. I think that might be why he had to get liposuction.
