Baker Mayfield sneaks in meals where he canhe's been head-down focused on football, spending at least three hours of every day reviewing tape in between practice, workouts, and family time. Drafted by the Browns in 2018, Mayfield broke the rookie touchdown record previously co-held by Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson. This year, hes looking to take another big step forward, and things are getting exciting in Cleveland: the Browns, a team that hasn't had a winning season since George W. Bush was in office, are currently 5-2.

GQ caught up with the Austin native to talk to him about his diet, which includes a decent amount of CBD and the occasional ranch water.

GQ: Whats the first thing that you eat in the morning?

Baker Mayfield: I wake up on the earlier side, around 5:30 or 5:45. Before I eat anything, I reach for a bottle of Bodyarmor water and I drink that down with two of Beams Focus pills (Mayfield recently invested and signed with Beam, which also sponsors other big-name athletes like Fittest Man on Earth Mat Fraser). Im constantly drinking water throughout the entire day. I have a fridge of Bodyarmor in my garage. As far as food goes, my wife prepares overnight oats the night before, which I have every single morning around 6:30 or so. In there, theres almond milk, shredded coconut, dates for added sweetness, and depending what we have around maybe blueberries or apples with some cinnamon.

Are you a coffee guy?

Im also having a nitro cold brew coffee and then some more water. I bring those drinks with me to study and prepare for the dayI watch film until about 10 a.m. At that point, Im driving to meet with the team where we do a walk-through and some other things before I get to eat lunch.

Whats for lunch?

I work with a dietitian outside of the facility, who really homes in on whats good for me based on my blood levels and whats really right for me. Then our kitchen staff prepares it based on that plan. We mix it up. Im not a huge fish guy, but Ive been trying. So usually its a half-plate of protein, half plate of carbs, and then something like quinoa, or brown or white rice, and then either sweet potato, broccoli, asparagus. It varies from week to week, and if Im burnt out on one thing, well switch it up. Its all good stuff. And after I eat that, Ill practice. After practice, Ill have a smoothie, then I'll do a workout, and then I'll have another smoothie. At least one of those smoothies will have proteinthats just based on if it's a longer day of practice.

Whats in the smoothie?

Usually its chocolate Klean Athlete protein, frozen peanut or almond butter, some greens like spinach or kale, and almond milk. Im sensitive to sugars and try to avoid dairy and stuff because it just doesnt feel good in my body.

Were you always like that? Or was this dietary shift something that came with your success on the field?

I think it took a while for me to get to this point to be like, OK, how do I perform at the highest level? But now I want to make sure that Im alert and ready for anything. I don't think I would've gotten to this point in my career as quickly without being smart with my eating, so I think its been a blessing.

Whats for dinner?

I get home around like 7:00, and Emily does a great job of having dinner ready and theres even like, soft music playing. It's just so stressful, and she knows that and Im grateful for her because theres nothing to worry about at home. Shell make something similar to what I have for lunch, with recommendations from the nutritionist. And then the last thing I consume in the day is the Beam Dream, which is kind of like a hot chocolate that I have with almond milk. That stuffs unbelievable.
