Strongmen are known for their size and strength, and no surprise that their diets can also be extreme. For the first time, Brian Shaw, the World’s Strongest Man, shared a full day of eating ahead of the World’s Strongest Man 2017 competition, which begins on May 20.
Six-foot-eight, 435-pound Strongman Brian Shaw’s dinner is probably more calories than you eat in an entire day.
Reigning World’s Strongest Man Brian Shaw is going for his fifth title this year, he’s done everything he can to prepare for his title defense. Part of his preparation has been gaining weight, size, and strength, and gaining size when you’re already 6’8″ and well over 400lb is no easy task.
Shaw says: “This diet is to make me as strong as I possibly can, so it’s not the Mark Bell no-carb diet, I’m just eating to be the strongest human being on the planet.”
Shaw makes your entire day of eating look like an afternoon snack and he cooks it all himself.
With World’s Strongest Man going down next week, Shaw will need all the strength, size, and prep he can get to take on Zydrunas Savickas, Eddie Hall, and Hafthor Bjornsson.
Shaw tries to season food well to make it easier to eat. His nutritionist, Nathan Payton, gives him some freedom, but he ensures that every meal throughout the day has the protein and carbs that Shaw needs to support his intense training. Watch the full video below:

12,000 a day hmm.. Pure stupidity. Might as well hit up Mcdees for 10 Big Macs with 5 cheeseburgers and 10 apple pies in a day and go out in style …. All that calories are gonna make u strong common a what dum ass!!!
Oh yea? what do you know about winning WSM 4 times? He doesn’t give a fuck about staying lean, only strong.
lol really? Dude has multiple titles! Pretty sure he knows what he’s doing
Pretty sure he eats nutritious foods. Regardless of your Broscience bullshit the source of the calories does matter. And he’s clearly doing something right when it comes to his profession
Stronger than you
Hahaha u think James I give a fuck ? His waist is fatter then mine also.
Yeah, he clearly knows nothing about professional strongman competitions. Those 4 World’s Strongest Man title’s are proof that he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
You are ignorant of the entire strongman world; educate yourself or you’ll be constantly proven wrong, like I’m doing to you now, and you’ll look like an idiot..
Erol was your brother your dad too?
You dumb fucking waste
David Marethouse
Fat gluttony
Orange spray tan.
He’s the best at what he does. You aren’t.
No room to criticize.
Hahahah this guy
Yankee Doodle
Still gluttony
Prob don’t need to eat that much when you’re over 20% body fat
He doesn’t give a fuck about that. Just like huge body builders like Phil and Ramy don’t care about looking like freaks.
Worry about yourself.
He does when he holds multiple world records
Cool guy
He is the strongest man on earth so stop being stupid guys by call him fat
this is you Corey
Jonathan Moody
Funny that I was telling ole Luke about this earlier today. #nom
Alex Cicchese
Idiots talking about his bodyfat % here. Do you even know what WSM is? He is one among the handful of men in this world who could do insane feats of strength.
And self proclaimed bodybuilders here, how many of you can do a 800 lb deadlift or a 500 lb log press for a rep? These guys do it for multiple reps. Dont be a dumbass!
Youtube Brianshaw before judging his lifestyle.

Petar Lebo
Jay Davies this diet will get protein down you
Andrea questo tipo qui ha detto che ti sfida a chi mangia di più
Ahahah potrebbe vincere..ma è da vedere
It’s hard work consuming so much food and training with heavy weights at the same time … human body can just about deal with this only so long and there’ll come a time when your body will give a several warnings
Wade Lancaster haha
This completely doesnt make sense , eating nurients to suppport his strength /training etc that would be , protein, carbs , good fats , vitamins and minerals..Where does the junk, cakes , etc come into it ..
12, 000calories his nutritionist is an idiot ..Sugar and junk food has no benefit .Gluttony and forced eating has no place for athletes , muscle make you strong not being fat…
Excess bodyfat means your consuming to much energy , unused energy gets stored as fat , whats with then all the unused energy for a strongman .
He wastes 7000 calories a day? Jay Cutler was 330 in shape, and only ate around 5000. Guess he really wants to get heart disease, diabetes, and be fat. Body fat does not help with lifting at all. He doesnt need to be 30% bf to do powerlifting.
Is fat man
Tom DeFloria
Lol he is literally the worlds strongest man, but everyone here seems to know more than him and his nutritionist
If he consumed 12000cal and how many calories he could burn in one day…
Wow 12,000 calories I cant even eat 2500 if I had to. Then again hes a big dude.
Russ Taylor
The dude is 6’8…soooo… he probably burns more calories taking a dump than a lot of the short guys tossing negative comments do in a day.
