When you walk into a room and see Jeff Adams, you already know he's a big guy. He is the left tackle on the football team's offensive line, so you'd expect him to be. But have you ever thought about what an offensive lineman eats to stay that way? Well, it's a lot.
On a typical day, the 6-foot-7, 300-pound Adams will eat six to eight meals for a total of 4,500-5,000 calories. Of course, he's not going to have a grandiose sit-down meal every time, but he does eat something about every two hours for a reason.
“My goal is to keep my metabolism moving, constantly digesting food so that I'm not really hungry,” said Adams.
So what does this lineman do for those six to eight meals a day?
