Whatever Shaquille O’Neal does, he does it big. Whether it’s his lifestyle or eating habits. The 4-time champion claims to be on a “diet” but his favorite meals will make you question that claim. On the most recent episode of the ‘Big podcast with Shaq,’ he finally reveals his favorite meal from the ‘International House of Pancakes,’ popularly known as IHOP. Furthermore, he shares his pick of meals from other food franchises.

During the podcast, one of the co-hosts Nischelle Turner shared a question asked by a fan. The fan wanted to know what Shaq orders from IHOP. Shaq immediately replied sausage, cheese omelet, buttermilk pancakes, and orange juice. He apparently orders the same meal whenever he goes to the $3 billion selling fast food franchise. Shaq doesn’t experiment with his food choices and said, “I’m a creature of habit, I never change.”

Furthermore, when Shaq goes to the Waffle House, there he orders eight scrambles eggs with cheese, two sausages, a biscuit cheese sandwich, a UNO waffle, and cold orange juice with ice. And when he goes to McDonald’s he gets a double cheeseburger, 10 nuggets, and a diet coke. Following this, he said, “cause I’m on a diet.” It didn’t take long for Turner to bust out in laughter.

Shaq also revealed to the panel his favorite chip, a pack of Cheetos. The packet he was holding was a family-size pack. However, his large hand made it appear to be a little package.

Shaquille O’Neal battled obesity

Shaquille O’Neal‘s above-mentioned diet must have shocked you. What’s more shocking is that once Shaq was warned by the doctors who said, “Do you want to die?” 

Following the death of his former teammate and close friend Kobe Bryant, Shaq went on an eating spree. Drowning in sorrow, he started binging, and did not work out. The Los Angeles Lakers legend weighed around 415 lbs at one point.

Soon Shaq realized the negative effects of obesity and decided to put his life and health on the right track. He started hitting the gym and started some heavy work out. He lost 50 lbs, and the body transformation at the age of 50 was remarkable. The NBA world was shocked to see his transformation.
