49ers Defensive Star Nick Bosa Reveals Crazy Diet to Prepare For NFL Season

Being in NFL shape is no joke.

Do you ever find yourself wondering how Niners defensive star Nick Bosa keeps his Pro Bowl physique heading into the season? It’s all about eating right, but more about cutting out what you really don’t need. In an interview with The Athletic, Bosa revealed that at one point, he would often stop at McDonald’s back in his collegiate days at Ohio State to crush a McGriddle. He also indulged in Chipotle burritos and plenty of carbohydrates, coming from a family who loves pasta.

Entering his fourth NFL season at age 24, however, Bosa’s diet is not what it used to be.

Via The Athletic:

“Bosa’s eating routine in the morning now mostly consists of fruit juices, followed by egg-white frittatas with ground bison, turkey bacon and vegetables. Bosa then eats a meal about every three hours, chowing mostly fish and salad throughout the day — from salmon to tuna to grouper and sea bass.”

Bosa’s teammates have taken notice of his physique.

“Have you seen him?,” 49ers tackle Trent Williams asked reporters at the beginning of training camp. “He looks like somebody literally etched him. He’s like a sculpture.”

As the 49ers prepare for their season-opening clash in the Windy City, don’t expect Bosa to roll up in the McDonald’s drive-thru after the game.
