Bodybuilder Jordan Hutchinson is keeping fuel reserves high in the lead-up to his next show. In a YouTube video from June 18, 2026, he showcased his 6,652-calorie full day of eating two weeks before the 2026 Italy Pro.
Hutchinson broke into the upper echelon of the Open class in 2025. He laid claim to an impressive victory at the Tampa Pro, defeating John Jewett, Joseph Palacios, and Quinton Eriya. Thanks to the triumph, he qualified for his first Mr. Olympia, but wasn’t done competing.
Hutchinson brought an even sharper physique to the 2025 Texas Pro and secured the Open Bodybuilding title. The momentum helped him on the Mr. Olympia stage, leading to a 12th-place finish in his debut. To earn his way back to the prestigious event, Hutchinson broke down how he’s structuring his diet before flying out to Italy.
