I should probably start out at the beginning by sayingThis diet is to make me as strong as I possibly can be. Im eating to be the strongest man on the planet, says professional strongman Brian Shaw at the beginning of the video below. Translation: Dont try this at home.

Its not easy being the four-time Worlds Strongest Man, and its even tougher eating to be maintain that status. Shaw mentions in thevideo below that eating is often the toughest part of his training because its a continual process. He enlists a nutritionist, so he gets to pick some of his favorite foods while also being provided meal recommendations.

He points out that his diet becomes especially difficult when he just isnt hungry, which makes absolute sense when you considerhow much 12,000+ calories a day really is. In Shaws words,Its a necessary evil, so to speak.

Hisfirst meal in the video entails his cereal of choice (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and eight eggs, which equates to roughly 1,180 calories, 68 grams of fat, 74 grams of carbs, and 68 grams of protein.

His second mealis consumed about an hour later and includes a protein shake containing whey, peanut butter, and granola bars. The nutrition breakdown ofthis meal comes out to 1,025 calories, 25 grams of fat, 92 grams of carbs, and 115 grams of protein. Within three hours of waking up, Shaw is around 2,300 calories, and thats a typical morning for this athlete.

As the video progressesShaw continues to breakdown his daily meals and what they entail. Its absolutely insane, and I recommend watching it until the end (especially if youre someonewho fantasizes about having a reason to eat 12kcals a day).

This video got me curious how much does 12,000 calories look like in other foods? In a week, Shaw is consuming 84,000 calories, which equals 28 weeks (196 days) worth of food if you were to consume 3,000 calories a day.I crunched some numbers below, and if youre hungryIm sorry for doing this to you.

Each package of regular Oreos has around 40 cookies in it (it had 45, but got reduced this year), so you could eat 6.6 FULL packages of Oreos.

If youre a fan of Ben and Jerrys ice cream goodness, then you could eat elevenfull pints of their tasty Half Baked with a caloric allowance of 12,000.

Not many people would purposely consume 92 chicken breasts, but could you imagine? It would be physically impossible (I think) to stomach all that protein, at least without blending it.

Fans of the popular West Coast-based In-N-Out Burger rejoice, because with 12,000 calories you could slam 25 of their tasty cheeseburgers.

Im personally a homemade pizza fan, but for the sake of national recognition, you could consume 40 cheesy slices of 14 pepperoni pizzas from Dominos for12,000 calories thats five entire pizzas.

111 boneless wings (which isnt that much)comes out to about 4.5 servings of B Dubss large boneless baskets. This one kind of made me sad, as I was reminded how high calorie wings are.

For fun I wanted to see the volume of broccoli 12,000 calories was. Its 387 cups of chopped broccoli. Could you imagine eating 387 of broccoli in one day? Thats 928 grams of fiber.

Yeah, Im carbing up for my arm workout tomorrow, its all about the glycogen replenishment. Dude, youre eating 16.5 lbs of spaghetti in one sitting.On a serious note, who has a bowl that big, youd probably need a bathtub or a trough.

No matter howyou crunch the numbers, its absolutely insane how much food 12,000 calories a day is, and thats every day for Shaw.

Thats just a day in the life ofthe Worlds Strongest Man.
