“I'll give them a $200 tip“ - 320 pounds Shaquille O'Neal reveals his monstrous McDonald's diet
Many NBA players are freakishly big, which is why finding out about their diet is always surprising to fans, especially Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is 7-foot-1 and weighs 365 pounds, making fans wonder what his diet looks like.
O'Neal recently had a chance to share his McDonald's diet with the public. According to the former LA Lakers star, he orders fries, a double-cheeseburger, 10 nuggets and a diet Coke. Shaq mentioned that he eats that much because he's on a diet.
"When I go to McDonald's," Shaq said. "[My order is] a number one, double cheeseburger and 10 nuggets and a diet Coke because I'm on the diet. My order never changes."
"When I go to McDonald's and order food... and the kids bring it, I'll give them a $200 tip. I'm not about to go in there and cook it and do it. You're doing that for me? Appreciate you, big homie. Thank you."
@CubeShow Per his podcast, here is Shaq's McDonald's order:
Big Mac/fries
Double Cheeseburger
20pc. McNugget
AND a Diet Coke #SaveCalories
According to the former NBA All-Star, he eats five meals a day. Shaq broke down what he eats whenever he doesn't go down to the golden arches.
"I eat a healthy breakfast just to hold me for the day: three turkey sausages and about four or five egg whites. Meal two is gonna be some fruit. Meal three is gonna be a shake and fruit. Meal four is probably gonna be a light salad, and then meal five is gonna be chicken, fish, or steak."
Still, for a big man, O'Neal's diet consists of a ton of calories. Years ago, he and his girlfriend at the time, Laticia Rolle, showed what it was like to feed the four-time champ. Rolle made three pancakes and an egg white omelet, which wasn't much for someone of Shaq's size.
