Mark Wahlberg Shared Insight into His Extravagant Diet Plan
Mark Wahlberg recently sat down with Men’s Health to discuss what he eats in a day. The actor shared that although he has had “worst eating habits,” as he did not listen to the advice he was given in his younger days, he emphasized his current commitment to clean eating.
He shared that he started his day with a protein-packed breakfast at 8:00 consisting of five eggs, two hard-boiled and three scrambled, a pork chop, smoked salmon, Greek yogurt with berries, and green juice. Following this hearty meal, he had “chicken breast, chicken thigh, sweet potato, broccoli, a bowl of fruit, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry” at 11:00 AM.
He finished his second meal with a “handful of pistachios and had a handful of almonds.” Wahlberg opted for lighter fare for his third meal consisting of salmon sashimi, crab salad, cucumber, and a few pieces of chicken breast. The Invincible star also shared what he planned to have for his fourth and final meal of the day.
“Tonight I’ll have a nice steak, some Sea bass or halibut, something, and a vegetable,” he shared. And the grand and lavish meal plan of the Oscar-nominated actor has left his fans surprised, who expressed their disbelief, saying, “Not gonna lie, I thought his breakfast list was the entire day list…” Others have pondered the potential cost of maintaining such a meal plan.

The Uncharted star also detailed his redefined training schedule, as he shared that he has incorporated strategic rest periods alongside intense workout sessions. “I’m putting as much emphasis now on rest and recovery as I am on time under tension and intensive training,” he said.
