This Is The Mindblowing Amount Of Food Ireland’s Strongest Man Eats In Just One Day

Think you have your bulking meals down to a tee? Think again.

Ireland’s Strongest Man Patrick O’Dwyer eats an insane 10,000 calories a day to keep up his Popeye muscles, but you’ll find mostly meat in the Limerick man’s fridge to feast upon.

His shopping sets him back about €400 a WEEK, and he told the Irish Independentthat he prefers meats such as eh, horse.

“I prefer horse meat or venison because there’s a higher quality of protein and there’s less saturated fat. I get it off chef who does a lot of hunting for the venison and he gets the fillet of horse from an abattoir where they deal with horses and send them to France generally.

“He’s believes you are what you eat and I believe him. It’s helped me a great deal eating all that meat.”

He even wakes up at 3.30am to gulp down a protein shake.
