Bodybuilding is a sport where a strict diet and rigorous training go parallel. Jay Cutler‘s dedication to his nutrition during his prime was nothing short of astonishing. The quad Stomp known for his massive physique revealed some jaw-dropping details about his extreme protein intake and disciplined diet.

Cutler revealed his intense routines where he followed an intense six-meal-a-day plan similar to Ronnie Coleman. Despite starting with a stocky physique, he underwent a remarkable transformation. His key to success was a nutrition program that taught him the importance of consistent eating.

Jay Cutler chose to eat for fuel instead of taste!

In a YouTube short clip shared by Muscle Mind Media, Cutler unveiled the secret to his success.  The 50-year-old initially worked in concrete and struggled with irregular meals, but learned to “fuel his body” with six meals daily. According to this throwback snippet, Cutler didn’t mess around when it came to staying hydrated. He mixed up a concoction of Crystal light, not just in one but two containers, and poured it into a small jug, diluting it with water.

His dedication was evident as he incorporated glutamine into his routine, taking it with every meal. He stated, “I even mix my protein powders with diet Mountain Dew sometimes, which sounds a little crazy, but sometimes you don’t eat for taste.” He continued and confessed, “I just eat for fuel. That’s it. I eat to get big. I don’t care what it tastes like. I mean, I burn my egg whites. Boy, if I even cheat on my diet with pizza, I prefer it burnt. Anything for calories.” He was focused on consuming the nutrients needed to get big and stay big.
