Henry Cavill Reveals Exact Meal Plan That Makes Him Strong

Ripped, stacked, chiseled, strong, superhuman. These are all words that are regularly used to describe Henry Cavill, aka Superman. The British actor has made it no secret that health and fitness are incredibly important to him. This is one of the reasons why the Man of Steel recently took on a new role as Chief Creative Officer at MuscleTech, a globally recognized brand of sports supplements. In a new interview with Celebwell, the 38-year-old details the exact diet responsible for his famous physique, and well as the supplement stack that helps him achieve all of his fitness goals.

1. His Diet is Extremely Regimented

It should come as zero surprise that Henry is extremely regimented when it comes to his diet. A typical day for him food-wise includes a variety of shakes, supplements, proteins, and digestible carbohydrates. And, instead of breaking down his diet into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, he categorizes his meals by number.

2. Meal One

“I wake up in the morning and I have a protein shake, one-and-a-half to two scoops of hundred percent grass fed whey protein, plus a cup and a half of oats, plus a two egg omelet with some ham or turkey in it, and four ounces of filet steak,” he explains. “That's breakfast.”

3. Meal Two

His second meal consists of protein and carbs. “Six ounces of chicken breasts with brown rice,” he says.

4. Meal Three

Interestingly, meal three is exactly the same as meal two: Six ounces of chicken breast with brown rice.

5. Meal Four

For dinner, Henry switches it up a bit. “Meal four will be five ounces of filet of beef with sweet potato.”

6. Meal Five

Meal five isn’t actually a meal, but a shake. “I'll have a pre-bed shake to make sure I don't go into a catabolic state and that will be just protein and water,” he reveals.

7. He Indulges in One Cheat Meal Per Week

Henry reveals that he does give himself a break from his extremely regimented diet once a week. “My cheat meal depends on the week and the country,” he explains. One of his reliable go-tos? Pizza. “You could find pizza from pretty much any country,” he confirms. However, if he is in the UK he might indulge in some fish and chips, “or I may do a Sunday roast or something just to make a bit of an event out of it,” he says.

8. His Supplement Stack

In addition to food, Henry stays fueled up throughout the day with the help of MuscleTech supplements. “I have my basic line of supplements, my regular stack as we call it,” he reveals.

“At the moment I stick to 100% grass fed whey protein, and I have that as part of my breakfast, my post-workout shake and my pre bed shake. I also take a pack of multivitamins every day. I use Shatter Pre-workout if I'm feeling particularly tired before workouts. And I also use Amino Build during my workout to make sure that I'm getting the most out of it.”

9. “It’s All About Finding That Inner Strength”

MuscleTech

Henry wants his fans to know that you don’t have to be a superhero to achieve fitness goals, which is one of the reasons he chose to partner with MuscleTech. “We all have the capacity for creating a physical self within us already. We already have those ingredients and it's about keying into them and accessing them,” he explains. “It's not, some people can, some people come, we all can. Absolutely. And it's about finding that inner strength to push forward because as MuscleTech says, strength is more than just muscle. And that's something which I love.”

Chris Evans, best known as Captain America in the Marvel movies and currently voicing Buzz Lightyear in Pixar's Buzz Lightyear, works incredibly hard to maintain a fit and ripped physique, when it's needed for a role. Way back when shooting the first Captain America, he had said of the gym: "It was grueling, it was brutal and I’d find any excuse possible not to go" and added: "But I had to do it." His commitment is just one reason why he's one of the most beloved stars on the planet. How does he stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chris Evans stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. He Worked With A Trainer

Everyone needs a little motivation to stay on track, and working with a world renowned personal trainer is certainly a great way to get there. Chris worked with personal trainer, Simon Waterson, to get in shape and build muscle. “For anyone embarking on a new fitness regime, I like to tell people to never make anything too unobtainable. Set your goals low so you always can achieve them, so you then feel that sense of achievement, which in turn will give you motivation which allow you to go to the next steo and the next level. The worst thing you can do is set the bar too high. You’ll never feel…the euphoria of reaching a goal. So if you try to do some bodyweight press-ups, don’t care about setting the goal at 100. Set it at 8 or 9 or 10. It’s about taking incremental steps, and not being unkind to yourself, mentally and physically,” Waterson, who also trained Daniel Craig and is the author of Intelligent Fitness, has said.

2. He Eats Lean Proteins

Chris Evans likes to adjust his diet and exercise routine to roles that he’s training for. When he was preparing for Avengers: Endgame, he ate plenty of lean protein as part of his diet to bulk up and condition his muscles. "According to the FDA, any seafood, meat, or poultry can be labeled as lean protein when it contains less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams and per labeled serving size," Mascha Davis MPH, RDN, a private practice registered dietitian nutritionist, founder of NomadistaNutrition.com and author of the upcoming book Eat Your Vitamins, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!

3. He Makes Healthy Choices

To build his muscle up, he had to be really healthy and ditch the pizza and burgers for a while. Even though he had to take in a lot of calories to build muscle, he still made extremely healthy choices involving plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, supplements, and healthy fats.

4. He Takes Supplements

He’s big into supplements when needed. “Supplement-wise I used a bit of glutamine, whey protein shakes, branched-chain amino acids, then 500mg supplements of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids every single meal to make sure that my joints were functioning well—I needed it because the working out was so intensive, especially with things like the gymnastics,” Evans said. According to the Mayo Clinic, “glutamine is a substance naturally produced in the body to help regulate cell growth and function.” Always talk to your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet.

5. He Focuses On Each Muscle Group

To perfectly carve out and condition each muscle, he focuses on one group at a time. Evans ties in plyometric exercises and acrobatics as part of his routine and claims that this is what helped him prepare for his role as Captain America. "For many athletes, plyometric training has proved to be an effective conditioning program that helps develop power and strength. Though it’s been around since the 1960s, people often ask, 'What is it?' In short, plyometric training involves three types muscle contraction exercises that lead to more forceful contractions. These exercises can have amazing results, but it is important that training be guided and individualized to get the best results and avoid an injury," says ACE.

Hulk Hogan is turning 70 this summer – and is in the best shape of his life. The wrestling legend opens up about how he lost 40 pounds in a new interview with Men’s Health. “About 15 years ago my body kinda shut down on me. I had several knee surgeries, and then after wrestling 40 years almost, my body shut down on me,” he said. “I went in for one back surgery and it was turned into 10 back surgeries. Both knees needed to be replaced. Both hips were replaced. A couple surgeries on my face from getting my orbital socket broken a couple times. And it ended up being 25 or 26 surgeries, or a couple more, over a 10- or 12-year period,” he continued, confessing “it changed the game on me. It made everything different for me.” How did he lose the weight and get into the best shape ever? Read on to see 8 ways Hulk Hogan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. He Changed One Thing: Everything

Hulk revealed that he changed one thing to prioritize his health: Everything. “I changed my whole lifestyle because at the time, being in so much pain and getting older and older I couldn’t carry that much weight. When you are sedentary and not wrestling or moving every night, it’s easy to put weight on. So, I decided to drop weight and get down to about 265. Actually, the last time I weighed 265 was in ninth grade,” he says in the interview.

2. He Quit Drinking

Hulk also put down the bottle. “I don’t drink alcohol at all,” he told Men’s Health, revealing that he hadn’t sipped alcohol in six months. “It got to be a way to numb me a little bit, because I had a bunch of crazy business problems and personal stuff going on,” he explained. “And I caught myself after I would train, getting too aggressive with alcohol. So I just had to stop it.”

3. He Hydrates

Hulk also revealed that he prioritizes hydration – and the only thing he drinks is water. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

4. Here Is What He Eats in a Day

“I wasn’t educated in terms of quality of food. Or quantity. I was just hungry all the time,” Hulk told the publication. When he took the camera inside of his fridge he exclaimed: “Everything in here is organic. We've got the yogurts, we've got blueberries, we've got almond milk, protein to wash down vitamins.” For breakfast he eats “couple yogurts, a banana, and organic coffee.” For lunch he enjoys chicken or steak or sashimi. And for dinner, chicken or steak or sashimi.

5. He Quit Sugar and Dairy, But Still Indulges in Sweets

Hulk stopped eating sugar, “When I realized it caused a whole bunch of inflammation in my joints,” he said. “Sugar had to be eliminated immediately cuz I was trying to figure out why being completely healthy was much more important to me than, you know, making my body numb.” Now his sweet treats include vanilla sandwiches, almond milk, mocha chocolate fudge almond milk, caramel crusted, non-dairy frozen dessert, and acai. “Woo bad to the bone,” he exclaimed.

6. This Is His Cheat Meal

“I do have a cheat day every once in a while. I had a cheat night last night at Hogan's Hangout. I actually ate french fries and dipped them in thousand island dressing,” said Hulk. “I woke up all swed up this morning from the pump.”

7. He Takes Supplements

Does Hulk take any supplements? “Of course I take supplements,” he says to the camera, revealing a pantry filled with various vitamins.

8. He Breaks Up His Workouts By Body Part

Hulk breaks his workouts up by body part. “Well, starting on a Monday I'll do chest and back Tuesday I'll do shoulders a lot of cardio ab work. Wednesday I do buys and tries arms. Thursday I'll do legs of course, and then I may take a day off or I may not.”

Tyler Cameron gained national attention and launched into overnight stardom back in 2019 for his stint on the 15th season of The Bachelorette where he was the runner-up, but he wasn't always comfortable with his newfound fame. "It's definitely taken some learning and some time because I didn't know what I was doing," he tells us. I made a joke early on in my career that I thought paparazzi only followed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and here I am getting shot by them," he laughed. "I'm like, they don't, they don't follow Joe Schmo from Jupiter," he recalls. "So I had to learn how to like, move around, travel a little differently, but overall it's been an incredible experience, and I'm just very grateful for it all."

The 30-year-old is using his time in the spotlight to raise awareness for causes important to him and just competed in a celebrity pickleball tournament hosted by CELSIUS and held at internet personality David Dobrik’s home. Tyler played for his own foundation named after his mother Andrea C. Cameron, who died in 2020 of a brain aneurysm. CELSIUS donated $50k to the charity of the winning team's choosing. Dobrik and Taylor Lautner came out victorious and chose the Lemons Foundation, a nonprofit that is passionate about helping individuals understand, learn, and navigate their own mental health. Following the announcement of the winning team, CELSIUS announced donations would be made to ALL participating teams’ charities.

Cameron, who has been "hooked" on pickleball for the last few months, was looking forward to the private Los Angeles event. "I'm excited to play and put my skills to the test." He adds, "Pickleball is a great sport. You can't really get that hurt in and there's tons of energy around the sport. Older people, younger people, everyone's involved. I love it. I mean, I've never seen courts so filled up and they are now, it's, it's taking over."

He's also got a lot of other exciting new ventures coming up like the expansion of his juice bar 3Natives, he's on the second season of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test that's premiering next month, and the remodel of his home gym which he will unveil in a few weeks. The Florida contractor has always been into fitness and he exclusively chatted with Celebwell about his diet and workout regime and why his new reality show was the most physically challenged he's ever been.

1. He Has a Protein Shake Every Day After His Morning Workout

Every morning Cameron starts his day off with a protein shake after his workout. "I like to keep it light in the mornings, but it's so important to fill your body up with proteins after you've just worked out your body," he explains. "So when you work out, you're tearing your muscle fibers, you're beating your body up, your body needs to refuel. So it's so important to refuel your body with good protein shakes or a good meal." He continues, "I always lean into protein shakes, so I like to stay light in the mornings and kind of increase it during lunch. I actually am an owner of restaurants and we serve smoothies and acai bowls, all that stuff. So I would go to my restaurant and get a smoothie."

2. He Avoids Carbs After a Certain Time

Carbs are part of Cameron's diet, but not after a certain time. "I avoid carbs after 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. is my goal." He explains, "Those are the ones that take longer to burn off, and if I'm not doing anything for the rest of the night, then I don't need to, I'm not gonna burn 'em off." He adds, "'l'll do carbs and during lunch to fuel me for the rest of the day for my next workout or whatever. So it just all depends on how I'm working out. But I always, I always kind of stay light in the morning with a protein shake from 3Natives."

3. He Has a Light Lunch

For lunch, Cameron also has a lighter meal, but also filling. "I'll do a wrap or something lighter, but like, but still like substantial so I can feel [like I have] good energy the rest of the day," he shares.

4. He Eats Protein and Veggies for Dinner

For dinner, Cameron loads up on protein, but no carbs. "I'll always have like a nice piece of chicken, steak, or something like that with a bunch of vegetables," he says.

5. He Doesn't Snack

It's easy to consume too many calories by eating unhealthy snacks, so Cameron avoids it. "I try to stay away from snacking," he admits. "I'm not the biggest snacker because when I do, I just eat everything."

6. He Runs As a Vice to Cope with Fame

Cameron went from an unknown model to mega superstar status in a short period of time, which was a lot to handle at first, but he leaned into running to help cope. "If you got an issue or got a problem going on in your mind or in work or whatever it is, like go out and swim, whether it's a run or whether it's a workout, I guarantee by the time you get done with that real good sweat, it's not gonna be that big of an issue to yourself anymore," he tells us. [Running has] been huge to kinda help me cope with things in this, in this world and the pressures and all that. So fitness to me has just been such a big key for me."

7. He Loves Working Out

Cameron has always been into fitness and loves hitting the gym. "I was a college football player," he states. "I was a workout warrior. I loved the gym, I loved training, I love conditioning, I loved all that stuff. So for me, fitness has always been a huge part of my life."

8. He Hits the Gym 4-5 Times a Week and Sometimes Twice a Day

The reality star works out four to five times a week and sometimes hits the gym twice to hang out with friends. "For me it's more of a social thing," he says. "A lot of times too, it's just like my buddy wants to work out and then it's a time for us to talk and catch up. So it's more of like a social thing or working on issues that we have in our own lives."

9. He Uses His Garage Gym to Work Through Personal Issues

Cameron not only loves his home gym for working out but also for catching up with friends as a space to work through personal issues. "I built a garage gym and working out there like is a kind of been our way to talk through a lot of issues and help with what we're going through in life," he shares.

10. His Home Gym is Loaded with Equipment

Cameron is going "big" with his garage gym that's filled with different types of equipment to vary his routine and help ensure he gets a good workout. "I got a big Celsius fridge stocked with Celsius, so you gotta have that. But I got the tonal, I got the hydro, I got this Peloton bike. I'm working on getting a treadmill, that's my next purchase." He adds, "I got free weights. I got, I got a, I got a nice little gym now. I just painted it all black. I'm about to do a bigger reveal a bit sooner. I got, so I'm doing like mirrors, TVs, all that. I'm really, really doing it big."

11. He's Consistent

To get the best results for any fitness and health goals, consistency is key, Cameron explains. "Consistency is the biggest thing. It's coming up with a plan, sticking to the plan, and not deviating from it. I've run, I've run three marathons in my time, and the marathons I've done the best in. I stuck to the plan better than the ones I've not done. The last marathon, I fell apart completely and I did not have any plan at all. So, you know, it's all about being consistent, sticking to your plan, listening to your coaches, and just going for it." He adds, "I think a lot of people deviate from the plan or from consistency because we don't believe in ourselves and they're like, 'Oh well it's not gonna work out anyway, so why, why do I even train hard for it?' And that's never the answer. So staying away from those negative thoughts too is important."

12. Why Special Forces Was the Hardest Physical Challenge Yet

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test returns for season two September 25th on Fox and Cameron is one of the contestants who brave the harshest physical challenges of actual Special Forces. It was the hardest physically fit, physically tolling, tasking things I've ever done in my life," he says. "It was very mentally, you know, hard to emotionally hard. It beat me up, but t's something I'm so proud of doing and so grateful for the experience." He adds, I can't wait for people to see this side of me." Savannah Chrisley, Blac Chyna, Brian Austin Green, Robert Horry, Tom Sandoval, JoJo Siwa and Nick Viall , Jack Osbourne, and Tara Reid are just some of the others Cameron faces off with and says, "They just keep pushing the finish line. I did things I didn't think I could ever do." He continues, "It makes me think about there's so much more in the tank than what I'm wanting to tap out or give up on certain things."
