Surging Men’s Physique IFBB Pro Jeremy Potvin is determined to make up for lost time after a bicep tear from bowling sidelined his career. In a recent YouTube video shared on August 16, 2024, Potvin walked fans through his 2,768-calorie full day of eating for fat loss.
After being forced to take time off due to injury, Jeremy Potvin appears reenergized and focused heading into the 2024 season. Known for his symmetrical proportions and dry conditioning, he plans to return to the stage better than ever. Where’s his next stop? Potvin is eyeing two contests actually. The nearing Florida Pro on September 7 and the San Antonio Pro on September 14 are on his radar.
In his last season, Potvin raised eyebrows, having made a bid for gold at the 2023 Republic of Texas Pro. Even though he finished runner-up at the event, fans were blown away by the upper body improvements he showcased.
Of course, the Mr. Olympia is a whole different ball game, and while he pushed a few contenders in Orlando, Florida at last year’s gathering, he ultimately settled for a 10th-place finish. With his bicep tear no longer a hurdle to finding success, he invited fans into his kitchen as he continues to burn fat for his next contest obligation.

Jeremy Potvin Bounces Back from Bicep Tear, Shares 2,768-Calorie Full Day of Eating to Shred Body Fat Weeks from Next Show
Before diving into what’s on his plate, Potvin gave an update on his progress since injuring his bicep while bowling.
“I feel like I needed to come in a lot fuller [at last Olympia]. The good thing about me is I don’t necessarily need to grow, I just need to make sure I come in fuller. With that being said, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to compete this season, I tore my bicep in April bowling of all things.”
Looking ahead, Potvin is unsure which contest is next but has his eyes on a pair of domestic shows: the Florida Pro and San Antonio Pro.
“That was fun. But with the help of some peptides, thank you to Pro Peptide lab, I was able to pretty much, I’m back to 100 percent now, able to train comfortably,” shares Potvin.
“I made the call to prep and I’m going to try to make something happen. We have two shows that I can hit this season that are still in this country, that would be the Florida Pro September 7 or the San Antonio Pro September 14.”
Now, let’s jump into what he’s eating to burn fat throughout his prep:
Meal 1
- 10 ounces water
- R1 Fruity Cereal protein powder (1 scoop and a half)
- Ground-up rolled oats
Meal one served as his pre-workout feed, which was a simple protein shake with oats.
“What I’ll do here especially since I’m prepping I don’t do any fats or very low fats. So I’ll do my R1 protein,” said Potvin. “This what I like about the rolled oats, it does keep me full and of course, with the protein obviously, you guys know that is very fast absorbing.”
“That’s it, that’s my morning shake. That’s my pre-workout drink. I will do a little bit more carbs with my pre-workout,” he shares. “The best thing about this guys, it tastes exactly like fruit loops.”
Macros:
- 45 grams protein
- 3 grams fat
- 30 grams carbs
- 327 calories
Meal 2
- White rice
- 3.5-4 ounces Chicken
Although he decided to eat out at a restaurant for meal two, Potvin kept it basic with white rice and chicken.
“This is meal number two. This is my post-workout meal. Also, again, I’m re-feeding so I’m a little bit more flexible today. All it is is white rice and chicken here at Cava. Nothing too fancy.”
“Being able to look at this and kind of sit there and be like alright that’s about a cup and a half [of rice] So around 66 grams of carbs. I’ll round it up to about 70-75. I just eyeball a lot of things. Like the chicken here, I could sit here and say that’s about 3.5 to 4 ounces.”
Meal 3
- Veetee Basmati rice
- 4 ounces Hummus Fit ground chicken
- Sugar-free Orange Ginger sauce
During high days, Potvin takes a more lax approach to his diet. He wants to consume rice often because it makes up a large portion of what he eats during preps.
“When it comes to my high days, I tend to be a little bit more lax with things. Also, the reason why I do this kind of rice because this is what I load on. It’s better to get acclimated to it.”
“This just gives me a different taste over homemade stuff. I’ve been doing homemade stuff for so long it gets very bland especially when you’re doing rice and chicken all the time,” he shares. “I just feel like bodybuilding has gotten very complicated and it doesn’t need to be very complicated. I’ve always tried to keep a simple basic approach,” he shared.
Meal 4
- 4 ounces of pulled shredded chicken
- Veetee Thai jasmine rice
Potvin switched up the type of rice for his fourth meal.
“We got something exciting for meal number four. We are switching it up we are doing chicken, Thai jasmine rice instead of the Thai lemon and herb rice. So, we’re getting crazy today. More chicken and rice.”
Meal 5
- 2 pieces of sourdough bread
- 150 grams egg white
- Spray butter (I Can’t Believe It’s not Butter)
- syrup
Macros:
- 26 grams protein
- 0 grams fat
- 77 grams carbs
- 412 calories
At 8:30 p.m. Potvin finishes off his full day of eating with a fat-free meal.
“What I’ll be doing is two slices of sourdough, and I’m going to dip that in 150 grams of egg whites, and then we are going to make some french toast. That’s what the next meal is. I use some spray butter and some syrup.”
Total Macros for the Day:
- 175 grams protein
- 40 grams fat
- 427 grams carbs
- 2,768 calories
With only 40 grams of fat consumed throughout the entire day, Potvin is locking in his nutrition to bring a sharp look to the stage. Don’t miss him compete once again when he takes on the Men’s Physique lineup this September!
