The quarterback said his parents' divorce affected his eating habits.

"Our diet out of high school? I always ate organic, you know my mum is organic, she grew us up organic and they split," Shedeur said (0:53). "They had their little differences or whatever, and then I spent most of the time with my dad, and he just let us eat whatever. That's when I got a little chunky.

Shedeur said he pays a lot of attention to what he consumes and tries to avoid fast food.

"...But diet-wise, I ate a lot of salads and clean food. I eat the same thing now. I don't eat fast food and stuff like that. The only certified fast food I'll eat is Macs. But other than that, I like almond milk. Besides that, I cook, I'm a good overall guy."

Shedeur Sanders reveals he attends two Thanksgivings

Coach Prime and Pilar Sanders had an acrimonious divorce in 2013 that hit the tabloids. Custody of their children was initially awarded to the Colorado coach before being returned to their mother in 2017.

During an episode of his "2Legendary" podcast, the NFL-bound quarterback revealed that due to his dad and mom's split, he has to attend Thanksgiving separately at both houses.

“Before, we was all one big happy family. Everything was fun… we had the turkey, we had everything," Shedeur Sanders said (9:40). "Now… I gotta make sure I don’t eat too much at Dad’s house, don’t eat too much at Mom’s house. A lot of kids that’s parents [aren’t] together that has to have two Thanksgivings, y’all understand what I’m talking about."
