Dimitar Savatinov has won America's Strongest Man two years in a row, has competed at the Arnolds and at World's Strongest Man, and certainly qualifies as a professional strongman. So what's it take to fuel a 5'10", 320lb beast who can log press almost 500 pounds? We found out from The Might Mitko himself:

"My meal plan is pretty basic and it's mostly meat, brown rice and sweet potato. Only my breakfast is different then my other 3 meals for the day. 

• Breakfast is 6 eggs with 6 oz ground turkey or fish, and 1 oz of cheese. No carbs, trying to shred some fat off of me.
• Before training I eat a bagel with good amount peanut butter and jelly. Right before hit the gym I will have an apple. During training I try to get couple apple sauces in, plus one banana. After training I eat 12 oz chicken with 12 oz sweet potato.
• Next meal 12 oz ground beef with 2 cups of rice.
• The meal before bed I will have 12 oz chicken with some amount of broccoli and 6 oz of blueberry or pineapple.

"The week of the contest I do the same eating just try to get my calories up with eating more butter, peanut butter, and put in some desserts in 2 of my meals.

"The last 2 days before contest I start eating more fat, I will change up 3-4 of my meals to steak and potato, with some wings or something similar. And I'm trying to drink a lot of water and Powerade zero to hydrate the best is possible." 

So on a regular training day Savatinov will have 6 eggs, 42 ounces of meat, 2 cups of rice, 12 ounces of sweet potato, 6 ounces of berries, some apple sauce, a banana, an apple, and a bagel with a bunch of peanut butter and jelly.

It's interesting that he prefers to have protein and fat for breakfast, saving most of his carbs for either right before, during, or right after training. After training, he sticks to protein and carbs, including veggies for fiber. The timing of his carbs are very important, with very little in the morning and peaking around his training sessions.

Is this what you expected from the diet of a pro strongman? Sound off in the comments!
