Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? Maybe not… but after we’re done here today, you’ll have a better idea of what’s on the menu. Taking to Instagram, Dwayne Johnson shared his ‘optimal’ pre-workout breakfast, which he consumes to stay in shape year-round as a Hollywood movie star.
A juggernaut of the professional wrestling world, The Rock has long been admired by fans thanks to his charming charisma and dedication to fitness. But we’ve always wondered what exactly is in his kitchen to build such a burly physique. While Johnson has teased some of his epic cheat meals, in his latest endeavor, he outlined a ‘boring’ yet optimal breakfast he incorporates to stay productive throughout the busy work week.
Check Out The Rock’s Optimal Pre-Workout Breakfast
Although he admits his meal choice might not appeal to some, he credits it for helping him through a case of the Mondays. His meal was comprised of 4 eggs, 6 ounces of grilled buffalo, garlic powder, and brown rice cereal, sweetened with stevia and vanilla extract.

“Happy Monday morning boring diet but optimal breakfast 🍳
(pre workout)”
– 4 whole liquid chickens 🐓
– 6oz grilled buffalo 🦬
* dash garlic powder *
– 2oz (dry measure) brown rice cereal 🥣
* sweetened with stevia + vanilla extract *
“Like a bull, just water and feed me – and I’ll work for hours 🤣🐂
Have a productive week, my friends – kick ass.” shared The Rock.
Fans are used to seeing Johnson shine on the WWE stage but the 52-year-old decided to sign up for a completely new project. The Rock was cast to play MMA/UFC legend Mark Kerr in a special film production. In addition to taking a crash course in MMA training, Johnson was tasked with sculpting his build to accurately portray the character. In the sneak peek that was released, Johnson was sitting on his stool in between rounds during an MMA match, looking unrecognizable, courtesy of facial prosthetics.
When it comes to leg training, The Rock chooses more calorically-rich breakfast options. To prepare for taxing training sessions, he consumes steak, eggs (egg whites only), oatmeal with papaya, and five peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on English muffins. ‘The Final Boss’ doesn’t play when it comes to the first meal of the day.
We have seen Johnson push through hellacious workouts inside his famous ‘Iron Paradise’ home gym. Now, we have a better idea of the type of breakfast he tends to favor when aiming to bounce back on Monday from an action-packed weekend.
