A Normal Guy Attempted The Rock’s Daily Diet

Sure, we
like fish as much as the next person (especially when it comes in taco form).
But nobody, and we mean nobody, seems
to like it as much as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who
we recently learned eats close to three pounds of cod every day. If that amount of food alone already has you gulping in amazement,
don’t forget about the other meats and veggies that add up to make The
Rock’s diet weigh in at 10 pounds a day. Yes, you read that right: 10 pounds
per day.
 

Writer Sean Evans will likely never, ever forget this fact,  because he was the brave soul that
Complex tapped to take on The Rock’s meal plan.

Wondering how that worked out for him? Well, Evans, who called himself “no world class athlete” and
admitted to a normal regime of “mostly Chipotle and bong smoke,” heroically
tried to make his way through all seven of The Rock’s daily meals, despite the
fact that “everything [The Rock] eats tastes like butt.” (With no spices listed on the menu, we think he was probably being too kind there.) 

Despite
desperately working out between meals to “clear up some space in [his]
stomach,” Evans didn’t quite make it through the day, throwing up in the office
bathroom between meals four and five and skipping meal six entirely. But, as
Evans—who acknowledged that he “walked away with a newfound respect for
Johnson”—rightly points out, “I still wear size 30 jeans like I'm a sophomore in high
school. Dwayne Johnson, on the other hand, weighs close to 300 pounds and has a
body that burns fuel like a furnace.”

See for yourself. (Complex)
