Returning after an almost three-month absence, bodybuilder Keone “The Prodigy” Pearson published an informative vlog detailing a full day of eating as preps to compete at the 2023 Texas Pro on Aug. 19, 2023, to his YouTube channel on May 6.
The bodybuilder weighed 201 pounds on stage at the 2022 Mr. Olympia, where he competed in the 212 division. He has since bulked up to 221 pounds in the off-season this year. Now, the work begins to become as shredded as possible to reveal all that muscle.

The majority of calories and macros Pearson consumed came from natural foods rather than processed. He even prefers his whey protein sourced from grass-fed cows. Check out the breakdown below:
What Keone “Prodigy” Pearson eats during contest prep
Pearson performs morning with fasted cardio: walking his dog followed by an additional 45 minutes on the hit the treadmill and ab training. Finally, it’s time for his first meal of the day — all of Pearson’s food is weighed raw. Below is the tale of the tape, along with the estimated macros and calorie values for each meal.

Pearson added some sea salt to the mix to help his pump. Following meal two, Pearson trained chest and practiced posing. Later in the video, he noted that he eats a different amount of food depending on the type of workout that he is doing. He explained that chest day is considered a high-carb day as far as food consumption, but legs are a lower-carb day.

We’ll see how well the cut works for Pearson when he retakes the stage at the 2023 Texas Pro and, should he emerge victorious, earn his 2023 Olympia qualification.
