Golf: Delicious diet behind PGA star Bryson DeChambeau’s bulk
Bryson DeChambeau has revealed the extraordinary amount of eating he’s been doing to become the most powerful man on the greens.
Bryson DeChambeau’s new-found size — and strength — is the talk of the PGA Tour.
The 26-year-old American put on more than 13kg during golf’s coronavirus-enforced off-season and has been blasting the ball further than anyone since play resumed.

The world number 11 was quizzed by reporters earlier this month after how he put on so much size and DeChambeau responded: “I eat whatever I want whenever. Obviously, I’m trying to control the intake of sugars, but carbs are fine because I’m obviously sweating like crazy out here.”
But on Wednesday he broke down specifically what he’s consuming each day — and it sounds delicious.
“I would say in the mornings I usually have four eggs, five pieces of bacon, some toast and two protein shakes,” he told reporters.
“Throughout the course of the day I’ll have a GoMacro (protein) bar here and there, I’ll have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich … (and) I’ll have at least two protein shakes on the golf course, at every six holes, and after the round I’ll have one.
“After that, I’m snacking when I’m practising after. Go back to the hotel, eat a dinner, steak, potatoes … and I’ll have two protein shakes with it there as well.
“So I’m consuming around six to seven of those protein shakes a day now where I used to be two or three.
“With the weight up, I just had to consume a lot more. Luckily, I like the taste of those shakes so I can take those pretty easily.”
The Californian estimated he was consuming between 3000 and 3500 calories a day.
