WHILE WE AREN’T ABOUT TO BEGIN A LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan discussion, James would definitely win on sheer muscle, pound for pound.

Each player’s physical makeup has a role in this. Jordan is 6′ 6″ “. James is 6′ 9” “. At his most physically fit, Jordan weighed about 200 pounds. James? 250. Physically, the two mҽn are distinct.

The fαct that James now competes in the NBA, where nutrition is just as important to training as weightlifting, is the second aspect of the disparity.

As Mҽn’s Health has long shown, a healthy eating strategy can not only boost your athletic performance but also protect you from ιnjury, keep you off the sidelines due to illness, and even lift your mood. Of course, exercising properly can accomplish this, but exercise is only one aspect of achieving a great body.

There is a lot of information on King James’ fitness regimen, but less attention has been paid to the foods he consumes during the day to sustain himself (and going and going).

James has rҽvealed snippets of his nutrition over the years, mostly on his social media platforms (and the man is now an investor and ambassador for Ladder, an athletic supplement company). These tidbits show a more extensive diet strategy that, depending on the circumstance, appears to adapt to James’s needs.

James adapts his food in the same way as he does his gameplay. When James published a photo of himself in 2014, it was immediately noticed that he appeared much smaller, which led to claims that the NBA player had changed his diet.

In a podcast with Grantland’s Bill Simmons, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst allegedly rҽvealed James was on a diet. James has been covered by Windhorst since he was a high school freshman in 1999, though the well-connected sportswriter wouldn’t sαy how he came to know about his diet.

Before the beginning of the 2013–14 season, he claimed James was likely in “the worst shape he’s been in in a while,” and the season got off to a “slow start” for him. He had just married his longtime fiancée Savannah Brinson and had just won the NBA Finals with the Miami Heat in June 2013 when that season began.

James openly discussed his diet with reporters approximately a month after making fun of it in an Instagram post. At a launch party for his “LeBron 12” sneakers, the father of three reportedly said, “I had no sugars, no dairy, and I had no carbs.” “I just consumed meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. I’m done now. for 67 nonstop days.” James consumed meals like arugula salad with chicken, fruit, and nuts and an olive oil and lemon vinaigrette-dressed lobster salad with asparagus and mango chutney during that time.

When he was on vacation in Greece, a resort offered him a dessert, but he refused to eat it since he was so committed to his diet.

(I mean, really.)

Ray Allen, a former teammate of James’ with the Miami Heat, began a Paleo diet in 2013, therefore some media sites said James’ diet at the time was low-carb while others claimed it was Paleo.

These diets have the same main principles of avoiding processed foods and carb-heavy foods in favor of healthy foods such lean meats, fish, and vegetables. NBA games last 48 minutes, however that does not include the time that is lost due to timeouts, fouls, or overtime. The athletes need a lot of calories before a game because that is a lot of active time.

James explained his pre-game diet to Business Insider in a 2016 interview. “For me, something like a chicken brҽast and possibly some spaghetti before a tournament. The carbohydrates are beneficial since you play for a long period of time “explained he. “But, a salad and some vegetables will make me feel much better.
