This Is The Insane Amount Of Calories Pro Athletes Consume

Imagine eating 181 grilled cheese sandwiches in a week and not feeling guilty about it. That’s the luxury of being an NBA athlete. Or, any pro athlete for that matter.

Rowers can eat 107.6 strips of bacon in a day to break even.

Cyclists could down 182.1 cups of chocolate milk in a week and still have six-pack abs.

Below are the complete estimations compiled by Fanatics.
