Wesley Vissers has locked in his diet for the 2026 Arnold Classic. On Jan. 25, 2026, he revealed the food plan fueling his physique for the event, set for March 5-8 in Columbus, OH.
Wesley Vissers stands out as one of the favorites heading into the Arnold Classic. In 2024, he upset Ramon Queiroz to secure the prestigious title. Fans expected a dominant title defense in 2025, but he missed the mark and fell to fifth place. Instead, his rival, Mike Sommerfeld, claimed gold.
In an attempt to regain momentum, Vissers targeted a different Olympia qualifier; he made a quick turnaround at the Detroit Pro. Ultimately, he settled for second place behind Matt Greggo. With redemption on his mind, Vissers laid out how he’s structuring his diet to make another statement.

Vissers started his day with his signature ‘Victory Breakfast,’ a dish he’s incorporated in past bodybuilding preps:

Meal 2
- 20 grams of egg white powder
- 0.6 grams of cream of tartar

- Whey protein (45 grams total)
For his second meal, he utilized fewer carbs and took down another ‘Victory Breakfast’ heated in the microwave.
“Just worked the back. Post-workout meal time. Pretty much the same ingredients from this morning. The only difference, no pumpkin, no spinach, no vegetables. I made it in a microwave instead of the oven,” he said. “You don’t need as many carbs after the workout.”
Meal 3
- 165 grams of chicken breast (raw)
- 275 grams of vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, celery)
- brown mushrooms
- spice mixture
- oil spray
- pepper
- 3 grams pink Himalayan salt
- 1 low-sodium salt
He moved on with chicken and vegetables, a staple meal in his arsenal.
“This is one of my staple meals every single day, multiple times a day, as I mentioned, it’s either just chicken or it’s tenderloin beef, or it’s Victoria fillets, like a fish. That’s pretty much the three choices that I have.”
Meal 4
- Chicken/tenderloin beef/Victoria fish fillets: ~220 g raw

He admits that meals this far into the day are more for protein maintenance to keep the body from getting overly hungry.
“Now we have a few more meals left which basically just serve as a protein pulse to keep muscle on the body and to just not starve to death during the day. That really is the two only reasons,” he said.
