Chris Bumstead eats around 5000 calories!

The current top competitor in the classic physique division, Chris Bumstead, is in a long preparation that should culminate December 6-18, 2022 Las Vegas. That's when the biggest bodybuilding competition - Mr. Olympia - will be held. Chris has already dominated his category at this show three times and will definitely be looking to add another win this year.

Although he did suffer a covid earlier this year. But after his recovery, Bumstead was in for a surprise, as he was 28lbs lighter than his usual off-season weight! However, Chris said that his body fat percentage was normal and so he had only lost muscle mass, which was a burden on his body.

In early January, Chris informed his fans that he eats around 4161 calories a day. That changed during the bulking phase and Bumstead's current daily intake is around 5,000 calories. Chris prefers to satisfy his dietary requirements through whole foods rather than supplements. However, he doesn't mind using supplements in addition to a nutritionally rich healthy natural diet.
