Considering the fitness standards one has to maintain as a professional athlete, Tom Brady's diet and workout routines have often been discussed. In fact, TB12's $50 nuts pack released in 2016 sold out instantly.

The items promoted health and were a way for Brady's followers to experience a possible taste of his diet. After all, it's not easy to follow an NFL player's diet. Not only can fans eat healthily, but they could also eat like their favorite quarterback.
