‘The Mountain’ from ‘Game of Thrones’ wakes up in the middle of the night to eat raw eggs

Hafþór Björnsson -- better known as “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones -- is a large man. Fans of the show know this, and outside of the show, he’s showcased just what his body can do. He can: toss a keg really high, take on Conor McGregor and carry two refrigerators. So what does it take to have a physique like “The Mountain?” In response to so many people asking him about this on Facebook, Björnsson revealed the diet plan he has in preparation for the 2016 World’s Strongest Man competition.

“Yes this is a lot & I don’t recommend YOU to try this!!” he wrote, before continuing with the following absurd list:

6:50 Morning workout! Cardio + CORE for 30min Bcca, Glutamine + handful of almonds

7:30 8 eggs + 200gr Oats + blueberries & strawberries + avocado

9:30 400gr Beef, 400gr Sweet potatoes, handful of spinach & greens

11:50 Bcca, glutamine,

12:00 400gr Chicken + 400gr potatoes, greens + some fruits

14:00 Blender = 150gr oats or sweet potatoes, 2 bananas 150gr kelloggs rice krispies, frozen berries, handful almonds, peanut butter and glutamine

14:30 Training strongman, Bcca, glutamine, Vitargo

17:30 60gr protein + 2 banans

18:00 500gr beef + potatoes, greens

20:30 500gr salmon + 500gr sweet potatoes

22:30 50gr casein protein or 6 eggs + avacado + 30gr almonds + 50gr peanut butter

Drink a lot of water throughout the day + Juices to get more calories!!

middle of the night 50gr casaine protein or raw eggs

So yeah, if you want to have the ability to carry two fridges, you’ll either have to diet and exercise like Björnsson, or rent a forklift.
