Nico Carrillo shares diet plan before ONE Fight Night 23

Known for his ironclad discipline in both diet and training, Nico Carrillo once famously declared, “If I don’t eat well, I start, I start feeling terrible.” He also claimed that he doesn’t even drink coffee. This commitment to healthy eating continues to be a cornerstone of his preparation.

In his latest YouTube video from Fight Camp, Carrillo revealed his daily routine, starting with a breakfast of oatmeal, avocado, eggs, cherries, and tomatoes, accompanied by a protein shake. He uses water from his sponsor, ATP Labs, and incorporates a dark chocolate bar from the same brand. “I also take some supplements,” Carrillo further added.

The Scot also revealed that he had a small chicken and rice burrito for lunch with tomatoes. He added that it was quite small and that he was supposed to have a pre-training snack, but had left it quite late. So, this would be his meal before training, and he would probably eat his pre-training snack later.

With ONE Fight Night 23: Ok vs. Rasulov just around the corner, Nico Carrillo’s meticulous dietary approach has the spotlight. His dedication to healthy eating is a well-known aspect of his training regimen, and fans are eager to see how it translates into his upcoming fight against Saemapetch Fairtex.
