You might already know that The Rock follows a really specific diet. When Five Thirty Eight analyzed it, they determined that he consumes about 5,000 calories per day, about 1,000 of them from cod. His diet is about 45% carbs, 36% protein, and 19% fat.
(For contrast, according to the USDA, the average American man in his 40's (The Rock is 45), eats 2,520 calories per day, with roughly 47% of calories coming from carbs, 17% from protein, and 35% from fat.)
So, now that you have some context, the question is how would you eat the Rock's 5,000-calorie high-protein, low-fat diet? The choices below more or less follow The Rock's macronutrient ratio and will add up to just about 5,000 calories per day (give or take).
