Today's Oympia typically starts their day with pancakes. However, he consumes a nutrient-dense shake about twice a week.
Shake
70 grams of oats
2 tablespoons of whey protein isolate
1 scoop of fiber supplement
15 to 20 grams of almond butter
5 bagel
Clarified Ghee Butter with the addition of Himalayan Pink Salt
Bumstead stated that he doesn't necessarily like the texture of the shake with significant amounts of oatmeal. However, he prefers to mix it with ice to get his preferred texture and make it a little nicer.

Chris Bumstead's second meal is relatively simple and consists of steak and white rice. Although he doesn't use the meal prep service extensively, this one was from Mega Fit meals. He uses the service as it is much easier to order multiple meals at the same time.
198g Raw Heavy Angus Steak
2 cups (316g) cooked white rice

Meal 3 is the pre-workout meal for Chris Bumstead. The composition is similar to the second meal. However, Bumstead prefers to eat pre-workout chicken rather than steak, as he finds chicken to be easier to digest than red meat. He coats the meal with hot buffalo sauce to add some flavor. Once again, this meal is prepared by Mega Fit meals and comprises:
170g raw heavy chicken breast
2 cups of cooked white rice (316g)

The post-workout meal consists of sweet potatoes and a healthy serving of ground turkey. Chris Bumstead said that sweet potatoes tend to shrink significantly after frying or baking.
500 grams of raw sweet potato
165 grams of ground turkey
1 banana

The next meal is similar to the post-workout meal in terms of composition and consists of sweet potatoes, ground beef, and avocado to balance out protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. However, the amount is slightly reduced. Bumstead stated that he likes to eat fats later in the day and before going to bed, as they keep him fuller for longer. He generally prefers carbs over fats after training.
170 g of minced meat
2 cups (316g) cooked white rice
300g raw sweet potato
1/2 avocado
