Method Man Discusses His Real Life Diet: 'My Chic-fil-A Order Is Three Eight Piece Nuggets'

Method Man Discusses His Real Life Diet: 'My Chic-fil-A Order Is Three Eight Piece Nuggets'

The Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man sat down recently with GQ for their Real Life Diet series where they speak with athletes, celebrities, and other high performers about their diet, exercise routines, and pursuit of wellness.

Meth revealed that he has been following a macronutrient diet for the last 10 years. "Its split up in like percentages catered for my body type," the "Bring The Pain" MC said. "Its counting only fats, proteins, carbs, fiber, but sometimes fiber counts as carbs. I supplement with D3s, spirulina, fish oil, collagen, CLA and there are no food or time restrictions."

Meth also reveals that he doesn't work with a trainer, instead he uses the MyFitnessPal app by Under Armour. "It tracks everything for you - all I need is a small food scale, which I take everywhere," he explains. 'It stays in my backpack. I have about six of them now and its challenging, especially on the road but the fact that I'm doing just doing macros and I'm following a calories intake helps me stay pretty true to my food science. It's all numbers."

As far as meals, Meth says that he's not much of a breakfast person. "I'm not a breakfast guy, so that would be a meal replacement mostly," he says. "Three scoops of protein, and then from there an hour and a half before my workout I'll have a scoop of carbo, some aminos and that's when I take my CLA and one teaspoon of creatine."

"[For lunch and dinner] I take another shake'" he says. "My diet is pretty free I can eat whatever I want as long as I weigh it. Right now my favorite is taco. I do lean ground beef or turkey, but I'm on the fence about turkey. It's about as bad as beef in terms of fat and things like that, so I pick and choose. Chicken you can never go wrong with — its' higher in protein and lean, but I'm tired of chicken. I found a quick fix, especially on the road: Chic-fil-A is top on the menu, and my order is always the same. The people at the Staten Island Mall can vouch for that: I get three eight piece nuggets! Regular, I can't stand the grilled ones."
