To build a physique like Dwayne Johnson's, one has to go through intense training and follow a diet considered extreme by the average person. Figuring out what to include in such a diet on one's own can be an uphill task.

But fortunately, "The Rock" revealed what his diet looked like while speaking with Men's Health in November 2022. In the YouTube video titled "Everything Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Eats In A Day," the American actor revealed his eating philosophy.

Johnson highlighted how he ate "the same thing every day for days and weeks and months. It's very consistent, it's very boring. It's also extremely disciplined."

He shared that he ate 6 meals a day, and shared what he had in his three main meals, which include:

Breakfast

• Eggs
• Meat (steak or bison)
• Oatmeal or brown rice cereal
• Fruits (papaya or blueberries)

Lunch (at 10 or 11 o’clock)

• Rice (complex carbs)
• Chicken breast 
• Some greens

Dinner

• Fish, or chicken, or steak, or buffalo
• Some complex carbohydrate
• Greens

Comfort food

Along with his daily diet, Johnson also discussed his go-to comfort food, which includes

• Cheeseburger or sometimes a double cheeseburger with bacon in it
• Avocado
• French fries 
• Cookie or crumb cake (for his sweet tooth)

Favorite carbohydrate options

• Sweet potatoes
• White rice

The professional wrestler also revealed that he usually eats sushi on his cheat day and prefers the "turquoise blast roll." This well-balanced diet helps him fuel his daily activities and busy schedule on and off screen.

For the Red One actor, this diet supports a pretty grueling workout routine.

Dwayne Johnson's weekly training split

Dwayne Johnson works out six days a week, matching the number of meals he has a day.

According to ManofMany, the Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw actor targets different muscle groups each day. His typical weekly training split is as follows:

Day 1: Legs

Day 2: Back

Day 3: Shoulders

Day 4: Arms/Abs

Day 5: Legs

Day 6: Chest

Day 7: Rest day

Though Johnson follows an intense training regimen, including regular weight training, cardio is a part of his daily routine. He likes to start his workouts with a 30-50-minute cardio session on an elliptical cross-trainer. 

In the Men’s Health video, Johnson also said he prioritizes being fit for longevity and credited his dad with instilling the discipline in training and healthy eating. This combination of a balanced diet and intense training is the real secret to Johnson's healthy physique and active lifestyle.
