Bodybuilder Jordan Hutchinson‘s diet is dialed in ahead of his next show. In a YouTube video from May 4, 2026, he detailed his 5,574-calorie full day of eating 8.5 weeks out from the Italy Pro.
Hutchinson’s breakout season came in 2025. He emerged as a top Men’s Open contender thanks to his big win at the Tampa Pro. While this clinched his Olympia qualification, Hutchinson continued to test himself onstage.
His next stop was the 2025 Texas Pro, and he defeated Joseph Palacios, Quinton Eriya, and John Jewett to claim gold. After finishing 12th at the Mr. Olympia, Hutchinson has a stronger grasp on what he needs to bring to the biggest event of the year. But first, his sights are set on dominating the Italy Pro.

“Make sure when you do your second round of waffles, you either blend this again or shake it up because the rice grains from the Bowl of Gains are going to travel to the bottom of the cup.
