DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks is been known for his incredible speed and equally incredible physique. He’s one of the strongest players in the NFL.Fans are curious as to how the 24-year-old sports star maintains his physique, aside from the constant workout, training and time spent on the field. One assumes it must be lots of protein and carbs. Maybe a couple of steaks a day, lots of veggies, eggs, and dairy. Definitely no fried stuff, desserts, or anything else fattening!

He goes on to talk about how he enjoys gummies over everything else, so he has a bag of them in the morning after working out, gets a Starbucks in the noon, more candy and some water later around 4:30, and finally has his dinner around 8 or 9 before going to bed.I repeat; what? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIs that what keeps the 6-foot-4 star in top shape throughout the season? It’s not just the looks, as we know. The man is incredibly fast and agile, putting him in the top ranks of the league. Is all that energy fuelled by sugar and caffeine? Well, it certainly seems so.Metcalf mentions that he is not one to be giving out nutritional advice. And that makes sense. Nobody who lives on LifeSavers every day is qualified to give out eating advice. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSo you’re obviously wondering why you don’t look like Metcalf after a week of binge-eating candy. Well, are your activity levels as high as his? Not that they have to be since the man is a professional athlete. But your diet doesn’t have to be like his, either! It’s tempting for sure, but, still, the safe answer is no.To be fair, his eating habits weren't always this strange. In a 2019 interview with GQ, he mentions starting his day with a big bowl of oatmeal. Amidst all the strength training, conditioning tests, and practice on the field, he followed a high-protein, low-carb diet, while avoiding oily, fatty, and sugary foods. Instead of candy, he was binging on pasta back then.Fans react to DK Metcalf's diet:People took to Twitter to express their distraught over how unfair their lives are, watching their diets but still not looking like the star:Hustle Chillson@HustleChillsonIf I did the DK Metcalf Diet for a week I would be hospitalized03:36 AM · Apr 5, 202258228If I did the DK Metcalf Diet for a week I would be hospitalizedPointsBet Sportsbook@PointsBetUSADK Metcalf has the same diet as every woman in college (via @espn)05:32 AM · Apr 1, 2022316DK Metcalf has the same diet as every woman in college 😂(via @espn) https://t.co/ltxZOuQTr7BlackList_Games@PUBG_blacklistWho know all these years I was on the DK Metcalf diet 9:07 PM · Apr 1, 20228Who know all these years I was on the DK Metcalf diet 💪😎 https://t.co/viOmgfMW2jBeenhadit@2PennysOnePairDK metcalf diet is proof of how much genetics play a role in physiques.

More than likely, no. 1. You didn’t choose the right parents. 2. You don’t have his same work ethic. 3. You probably don’t have the same resources like he does.11:37 PM · Apr 1, 20221For those asking me about DK Metcalf’s diet and if you followed it, if you’d look or perform like him.
