A YouTube clip shared by @Bobblehead Conan showcased an interview with Adam Sandler and The Great Khali with host Conan O’Brein. In the video, American actor and comedian Sandler reminisced about working with The Great Khali on the set of The Longest Yard. Sandler humorously recalled the WWE giant’s enormous appetite and surprising diet.

When O’Brien asked The Great Khali what his height is, the latter replied, “7 feet 2 inches.” His massive height in itself is a lot to take in. Astonishingly, he also revealed that he weighed a whopping 400 pounds. However, none of these shocks viewers as much as Khali's diet — 24 eggs for breakfast and 4 whole chickens for lunch.

“We’re shooting the movie, the man starts breakfast off with two dozen eggs,” Sandler recalled humorously. “Every morning, two dozen eggs. Four chickens for lunch, right?”

Khali, who seemed to be in on the joke, replies wittily, “That’s not normal!”

Everyone broke out laughing, and even Sandler agreed, saying, “That’s not normal, right? No one else eats four chickens!”

That said, considering Khali’s massive stature, it seems quite normal for him to consume this many calories and this amount of protein in one meal. He has always been vocal about his love for eggs and advocates a balanced diet along with consistent training.

“This is my diet. When eating eggs, have the egg white and not the yellow part (yolk), as it is responsible for cholesterol.” 

The Indian giant follows an extremely regimented workout routine that keeps him strong and fight-ready.

What The Great Khali’s Typical Workout Routine Looks Like

The former heavyweight champion follows a very strict bodybuilding-style workout routine. Moreover, he also engages in bodyweight exercises, yoga, cardio, and wrestling practice.

As per The Indian Express, the wrestler begins his mornings with a 2-hour workout routine. Remarkably, where most people stop, The Great Khali begins. He reveals that he also often trains for another 2 to 3 hours with his students at the Continental Wrestling Entertainment (CWE).

His typical weekly workout routine looks like-

• Sunday - Chest day
• Monday – Biceps and triceps
• Tuesday – Cardio and core
• Wednesday – Shoulders and traps
• Thursday – Back and abs
• Friday – Legs and abs
• Saturday – Recovery (mobility work, jogging, walking, or treadmill)

One of the best things about the gentle giant is his humility. Even after becoming a global icon, Khali remains soft, gentle-natured, and fun to be around.

"I used to feel a huge pressure to perform my best when I started... I used to sweat initially, but I slowly got used to it," he said.

Besides strength training, Khali also performs bodyweight exercises, yoga, and mobility drills to keep himself flexible.
