USA Player Travis Kelce, singer Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, maintains a healthy but not too strict diet, ensuring 4,000 calories a day for exercise.
On February 11, the Kansas City Chiefs football team lifted the championship trophy at the Super Bowl. One of the most prominent players is Travis Kelce, as he continuously sets many NFL (National Football League) records. One of the secrets to Travis Kelce’s success is the secret to eating and exercising effectively, even though he himself is a picky eater.
With a height of 1.95 m, during competition preparation, he applies a healthy 4,000 calories a day regimen to maintain a weight of 113 kg.
“Travis Kelce is a very influential athlete and gets a lot of attention. That’s why fans are interested in his diet and how he maintains his figure,” the broadcaster said. A spokesperson for the Set for set fitness center, where Kelce practices, said.
According to experts, most diets restrict too many calories which is harmful to the body, often causing uncontrolled weight gain over time. They recommend that people follow a healthy and easy-to-maintain menu that fits their lifestyle. Kelce was inspired to do this by his childhood friend Kumar Ferguson, who is now his personal chef.
The Super Bowl champion shared that he often eats French toast for breakfast to increase blood sugar and load carbs quickly. This is also his favorite dish before matches. Carbohydrates from bread help prevent muscle breakdown, as protein helps build and maintain strength from muscle mass. The dish also contains vitamins B6, B12, iron, calcium and magnesium.
Following the advice of experts for athletes, Kelce also enjoys steak to provide energy for the body. He often eats this dish before three-hour football matches.
“His dad is a master of grilling. So I put tenderloin on the menu every day,” chef Ferguson told Kansas City Magazine. Sometimes, Kelce also eats spicy Hawaiian chicken wings and deep-fried Australian lobster to keep his body toned.
Previously, many studies showed that red meat can cause chronic health problems such as heart disease and cancer. However, this food also contains important nutrients such as protein, vitamin B12 and zinc, which help the body turn food into energy, strengthen muscles and immunity.
As a picky eater, Kelce does not like vegetable dishes, but he always makes sure to add fiber to his daily menu with spinach. The anti-inflammatory properties in green leafy vegetables allow the body to recover quickly after vigorous activity. Spinach also contains a lot of nutrients, fiber, and potassium, which help reduce blood pressure, increase energy and support healthy bones.
To end the day, Ferguson often cooks seafood alfredo for Kelce. This type of noodles with cream sauce, served with fish, shrimp or mud crab, provides milk, carbohydrates and all the nutrients found in fishy foods.
Experts warn that saturated fat and cholesterol in food can cause heart health problems. However, fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are rich sources of vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. These nutrients promote brain development, maintain a healthy heart and support the immune system. The fatty acids in fish are very good for athletes, providing a lot of zinc, iron, potassium and magnesium for the body.
According to a Set for set spokesperson, Travis is the perfect example of an athlete who maintains a healthy, balanced diet and effectively brings results to the team.
“It’s a great example for young fans to follow, showing that you don’t always need to cut out all your favorite foods from your life to have your ideal body,” he said.
