Gym & Frudge has become one of the most popular video series by Men’s Health on YouTube. From Arnold Schwarzenegger to UFC president Dana White, Men’s Health visits various personalities for fitness-related interview sessions. In the latest installment, the publication visited Sam Hargrave. Hargrave is a Hollywood veteran with an impressive resume working as a stunt coordinator and stuntman for multiple films, including MCU movies. During their interview, the stuntman-turned-director revealed how his diet changed over the years.

Hargrave made his directorial debut with Extraction on Netflix. The film received critical praise for its action sequences, and fans loved it too. Men’s Health caught up with the 40-year-old before Extraction 2’s June 16th Netflix release. In the video, Hargrave showed off what he has in his fridge and described his diet and workout routine.

The conversation about the stuntman’s diet began when the reporter asked Hargave what was in his fridge. “I’ve got lots of greens. My go-to’s are broccoli, spinach, (and) mushrooms,” said the 40-year-old. The Extraction director said he loves mushrooms as they are a good source of protein. He also revealed liking smoothes while showing tetra packs of almond and coconut milk.

Hargrave said he is a “big egg guy,” and likes having wild-caught salmon. The 40-year-old also eats a few exotic meats, like bison. For carbohydrates, the filmmaker eats sprouted grain Ezekiel bread. While Hargrave’s diet seems like a balance of vegetables and meat, this hasn’t always been the case. “Over the years, my diet has changed a lot,” said the stuntman.
