Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Noah Spence seems to have spent the majority of his offseason eating.
Spence arrived at training camp 35 pounds heavier thanks to a diet regimen that saw him consume nine meals and approximately 9,000 calories per day, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine.
"Today was the heaviest I've ever been and I felt great. I was 263 today," the 24-year-old said. "I kind of just started playing with (his diet in the offseason) to see what works. I felt like if I just don't stop eating or drinking, I won't lose weight."
Here's what a typical day of meals looks like for Spence during training camp, as summarized by Laine:
Meal 1: Two protein shakes. Each shake has two scoops of vegan protein powder, two scoops of peanut butter, a banana, and two scoops of sugar-free coconut-milk ice cream (1,400 calories)
Meal 2: Breakfast, pre-practice. Cream of wheat, almond milk, brown sugar, three pieces of french toast, and two heaping scoops of potatoes (700 calories)
Meal 3: Post-practice. Two protein shakes in the locker room (1,400 calories)
Meal 4: At the facility. 6 oz. grilled chicken, broccoli, mashed cauliflower, two pieces of bread covered in Sriracha Ranch dressing (600 calories)
Meal 5: 500 g pasta, 6 oz. ground turkey, peppers, onions, in sauce (1,300 calories)
Meal 6: Two protein shakes after the team's walk-through (1,400 calories)
Meal 7: 6 oz. steak, 4 oz. shrimp, 500 grams potatoes, zucchini, and squash (1,000 calories)
Meal 8: Snack. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of chocolate almond milk (500 calories)
Meal 9: One shake before bedtime (700 calories)
Spence also drinks a gallon of water every day, which he doesn't recommend trying at home.
"You don't want to do that," Spence said. "You'll throw up. You'll throw up."
