- I definitely know more about what to put in my body
and what to eat to get certain results.
But I'm not, I mean I've always liked the same thing.
I've always eaten a lot.
What's going on Men's Health, I am Noah Centineo.
And today I'm gonna tell you what I eat.
(upbeat rock music)
Definitely high protein.
I think it depends on what the goals are, right?
If we're just gonna bulk, then I'm really,
I'm less meticulous about it.
It's just lots of protein, lots of food,
brown rice, beans, hella chicken.
All the chicken you can possibly imagine.
If I'm trying to gain muscle but in a very clean way,
it's a lot of white fish and vegetables
with a little bit of brown rice, but not a lot at all.
So it's like a keto gain.
I just made that up, but it's what we do.
I'll wake up and I'll usually roll
with about eight eggs in the morning,
put some spinach in there, maybe a protein, steak
and then always a bowl of nuts.
You always gotta have a ball of nuts.
And oatmeal obviously has fruit in it.
I go straight to the gym.
I'll train about five, six days a week.
It's always hypertrophy training if I'm trying to put on.
So we're working within like anywhere from 65, I think,
to 99% of your one rep max.
And it's usually way higher than 60.
Like I'm almost always after the warmups lifting
within 85 to 99% of my one rep max.
So I do it hour and a half, two hours of that.
That's usually like a lot of full body movements
Olympic lifts, Bulgarian lifts, finish with that,
immediately drink a workout shake.
Usually a meal replacement, like a mass gainer or something
trying to make it as clean as you can.
And then I will go home, shower and then I'll go get lunch.
And my lunch is usually Greek food or Mexican food
where we'll just have a bunch of chicken,
whole bunch of rice, a lot of beans and veggies, of course,
sweet potatoes, love sweet potatoes.
Avocado for lunch too.
A little bit of salt, you know what I mean?
Hot sauce just to make it right.
You can't forget the hot sauce
for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Then you chill 'cause they say
the recovery's just as important as the training.
And then we go to dinner.
And for dinner it was always steak, salmon or more chicken.
Broccoli rabe, I love broccoli, brown rice obviously,
maybe more sweet potatoes.
And then it's usually double portions too,
so whatever you would get, you just order two.
And if you're trying to be lean, then it's just fish.
If you're trying to really get it it's steak.
And then I drink coffee constantly too.
Oh my god, man, I learned about pre-workout
like the first time I had to gain.
I had something called Total War.
My personal best went up like 50 pounds.
I was trying to rep 235 on a bench.
Took down a half a Total War,
and I was repping that (bleep) out, no problem at all.
And then my trainer was like,
all right, we're gonna take it easy on the Total War
because then I started to think,
I'm not gonna be able to lift this weight
unless I drink a Total War.
Anyway, I'm not really a pre-work workout guy anymore
but I do love coffee.
Yeah, Black Adam specifically, I did it In and Out often.
I was doing a lot, lot of Muay Thai,
a lot of fighting with my boy Adell at Humble Warrior Gym.
And then we were doing a lot of training with Kirk
over at Dog Pound
and I kind of just tried to fuse those two things together.
So it was a lot of fight training
and a lot of weight lifting and because of that,
there was a lot of cardio involved too.
So it wasn't just like a crazy bulk.
It was a slow steady gain.
So I was just going to In and Out
and scarfing Three by Threes,
I'd get like two Three by Threes, animal style,
with chopped chilies, with animal style fries,
two of them and like a Coke, which is ridiculous.
And I would just pack it all away.
All my friends called me Fat Boy.
And I loved it because I was gladly having a Muck Bang
for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day.
The dude is eating constantly.
He's eating all day long.
We would be shooting and suddenly
someone would come on with this massive to-go container.
They would just be handing it to him,
and he would open it and he would just start scarfing
like a thousand calories worth of food
in front of everybody.
And it was throughout the day, it was constant.
I don't know how to do that.
I just, if I'm hungry, I'll just eat a bunch of protein,
and then I know not to have white rice,
even though you can, but I usually just do.
A lot of protein and then I'll find
sweet potatoes or brown rice.
I'll just do that, and then veggies.
The more of those three things that you can eat,
the better your whole diet and bulk is gonna go.
Oh, it's just a burger.
It's always a burger.
Yeah, when we're locked in in training
we get one cheat day and we called it Hamburger Fridays.
I think so.
I definitely know more about what to put in my body
and what to eat to get certain results.
But I'm not, I mean I've always liked the same thing.
I've always eaten a lot.
Rice Krispie Treats.
Like, on set for The Recruit",
it was just constant Rice Krispie Treats.
Everybody knew it.
I would go back to my chair
and there would just be Rice Krispie Treats in the pocket.
They were so great to me over there.
Owen Hendrix baby, lawyer from the CIA.
Are you kidding me?
Tell me everything.
I mean I feel like banana, honey, almond butter.
But like if you, whatever's in there
and you put honey in it, sweet.
Smooth, what the (bleep), dude?
And almond butter.
Almond butter is way better.
Ranch or sriracha mayo or mayo
or hot sauce of any kind?
Hell, yeah.
I'm a sauce guy.
I like dipping.
So whether it's pizza crust
or like a sandwich or cheeseburger even.
Sometimes you get the right aioli.
Lather it on.
Cheeseburger (laughs).
I like cheeseburgers.
They're so good.
And make it a double with a little bit of bacon.
Some jalapenos on it too.
A little bit of hot sauce.
Maybe ranch, a ranch dip, some Cajun curly fries
on the side and a Coke with ice in it.
In hotel beds.
If I'm in a hotel room, this is the dining room baby.
A hundred percent.
My business partners and one of my closest friends, Enzo,
he makes a steak.
When it's almost done,
that is the best smell in the world.
The fat melts in your mouth, it's ridiculous.
Oh, now I'm hungry.
Thank you guys.
Thank you so much.
I wasn't, now I'm hungry again.
All right, Men's Health, that was what I eat.
Thanks for hanging out for a bit.
I'm Noah Centineo.
