A quick scan of Bumstead&#8217;s YouTube page confirms that assertion, as his last nutritional video was in late February 2022. A new edition came at the continued behest of his 1.75 million-plus subscribers (and counting).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s been a minute, you guys always ask for these, so here we are, doing a full day of eating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s another detailed insight into partly how the top-notch bodybuilder fuels his performance and <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/how-to-build-muscle\/\" data-lasso-id=\"107678\">builds his muscle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"meal-1\">Meal 1<\/h2>\n<p>Like many people worldwide, Bumstead starts his morning with a cup of Joe. Though, this isn&#8217;t any ordinary coffee. The coffee has mushrooms (which have adaptogens) and chocolate sea salt (which has electrolytes). The thought process behind the mushroom\/adaptogen is that it helps fortify Bumstead&#8217;s immune system, which research confirms is one of its main benefits. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6240259\/#:~:text=Modern%20studies%20have%20shown%20that,hypothalamic%E2%80%93pituitary%E2%80%93adrenal%20axis.\" data-lasso-id=\"107679\">1<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>After he finishes coffee, Bumstead shifts to a &#8220;boring breakfast&#8221; \u2014 a protein shake. The shake consists of two scoops of his protein isolate brand, a scoop of glutamine for fiber, and he pairs that with two whole toasted bagels. Bumstead says he usually has a couple of eggs on the side, but they started not to sit well with his stomach.<\/p>\n<p>As Bumstead notes, food variety can be integral to maximizing an athlete&#8217;s training output. One study maintained that a multi-versed diet is especially beneficial for, say, a bodybuilder who might want to consume more nutrients and calories throughout the day. (<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ajcn\/article\/113\/3\/716\/6123941\" data-lasso-id=\"107680\">2<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Bumstead&#8217;s full breakfast \u2014 which comes out to <strong>985 calories and 70 grams of protein<\/strong> \u2014 laid out:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One cup of coffee (with mushrooms and chocolate sea salt)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Two scoops of CBUM Itholate Protein&#x2122; and one scoop of glutamine in water&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Two whole cinnamon raisin bagels (with Ghee butter)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before diving into his breakfast, Bumstead notes he&#8217;s not eating as much as he normally does. He makes clear it&#8217;s part of an experimental&nbsp; &#8220;carb-cycle test&#8221; that might let him safely push toward the weight cap he wants and eventually maintain it easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"meal-2\">Meal 2<\/h2>\n<p>After a short break, Bumstead shows off his mid-morning meal \u2014 a solid helping of white rice and ground turkey with olive oil. Bumstead says that he recently started eating as much as 350 grams of rice in one sitting, so he now uses the olive oil for a flavor boost.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s this meal \u2014 which <strong>consists of 796 calories<\/strong> \u2014 as it stands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ground turkey <\/strong>\u2014 185 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boiled white rice <\/strong>\u2014 300 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil <\/strong>\u2014 15 grams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Per Bumstead, he usually tries to eat at least three times before he heads to the gym and trains, as he &#8220;definitely won&#8217;t eat three times&#8221; after the fact. That makes it vital to get a good bulk of his calories and nutrition beforehand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdJnwCuvPXh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdJnwCuvPXh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"107688\">A post shared by Chris Bumstead (@cbum)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><strong><em>[Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/bodybuilder-shaun-clarida-dumbbell-press-150-pounds-20-reps\/\" data-lasso-id=\"107681\">Bodybuilder Shaun Clarida Locks Out 150-Pound Incline Dumbbell Presses For 20 Reps<\/a>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"meal-3\"><strong>Meal 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As his final meal before heading out to train, Bumstead opts for <strong>a 700-calorie<\/strong> <strong>helping of MegaFit&#8217;s&#x2122; prepackaged steak and sweet potatoes<\/strong>.
