UFC star Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett has shared the daily diet he uses to cut the pounds in the lead up-up to fights.
The Liverpool fighter is well-known for blowing up after fights and cutting weight quickly ahead of his next bout.
As the new year fast approaches many of us will be planning new year’s resolutions with one of the most popular being to cut the Christmas pounds.
Paddy’s personal chef has revealed exactly what he consumes per day to help cut weight and it may surprise you.
In a vlog on his YouTube channel, Paddy introduced Joel McCarthy who plans out what he eats as The Macro Chef while in camp with the UFC fighter admitting having his meals prepared “makes my life 10 times easier”.
So, what does Paddy eat in a day to lose so much weight?
In total, the UFC star consumes between 1400 and 1700 calories a day to create a calorie deficit.
Although it will vary slightly from week to week, his chef revealed that for breakfast, he will usually have a protein granola pot or some overnight oats weighing in at between 300 and 350 calories.
For lunch he will consume a cold sandwich or wrap which can range from 450 to 520 calories.
For dinner it will be a hot meal such as pasta and meatballs (470 calories) or a wagyu beef burger with sweet potato fries. (around 500 calories).
Then it's time for Paddy's "favourite" sweet treats which will either be a chocolate protein cake (220 calories) or a protein cookie (230 calories).
Joel said: “Paddy is very particular about what he likes veg-wise.
“Doesn’t like peppers but he likes cabbage, doesn’t like mushroom but he likes peas.
“Onions and beansprouts are an absolute no-go.
“My whole kitchen – all my team – are just on it to keep any onions away from Paddy’s food.”
Paddy Pimblett will fight Jared Gordon on December 11 as the co-main event for UFC 282.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
