YouTuber and Pro Body Builder, Aseel Soueid, is well known for his “ate like challenges.” After trying the diets of Lionel Messi, Arnold Schwarzenegger, LeBron James, and many more, Soueid tried to eat like WWE icon John Cena.

The former WWE Champion’s diet mantra is simple, “Stay away from the junk. If it’s breathes or it’s green, eat it” and “overall make good decisions.”

Soueid tried following his diet for one day. Cena’s daily diet consists of approx 3,613 calories from seven clean meals and 290g of protein.

Before having the first meal, Soueid confessed, “I’d be lying if I say I’m not scared.” He started with a breakfast of six egg whites, two whole eggs, 100g of oatmeal with raisins on top, and one apple sauce cup. There were no condiments, and he cooked the oats in water instead of milk. Soueid mixed all of these as he got to meal number 2.

For this, he ate a protein bar before the third meal. Then, he enjoyed lunch with chicken breast, a cup of brown rice, and a cup of mixed vegetables.

The post-workout meal of John Cena stinks

The fourth meal was the “post-workout meal.” Soueid joked he had had some depressing post-workout meals, but Cena’s was the worse of them. He ate gluten-free Pita bread with a can of Tuna due to his physical condition.

Not only did the apartment stank, but also Soueid could not finish the meal by itself. To gulp down the “nasty” taste of Tuna, he added some honey mustard to it.

For meal number five, he had the “John Cena protein smoothie.” It consisted of one banana, ice cubes, a cup of unsweetened almond milk, and one scoop of vanilla-flavored whey protein powder. This smoothie made up for the tuna disaster, according to the YouTuber.

With only two meals to go, we moved to the ‘wholesome’ dinner. The dinner had cooked chicken breasts, a cup of brown rice, half a cup of pasta, and one cup of mixed vegetables. This meal was also gluten-free, high carb, and with lots of protein.

He still had one more meal left before the challenge was over. The last meal consisted of half cup of low-fat cottage cheese with vanilla-flavored casein protein powder.

After the challenge was over, Aseel revealed he was “very full.” He clarified the video was for entertainment purposes, and he is not trying to look like John Cena. The experience was definitely fun.
