To fuel his training, Walker has to eat plenty of food — 4,567 calories per day, to be exact. He took to his YouTube channel on Dec. 1, 2021, to share all the food he eats in a full day and the times he eats those meals. Check it out below:

Walker’s day kicks off at 7:20 a.m. to feed his puppy, Thor. Thor chows down on a bowl of kibble and rice, washing it down with water. Walker starts his day with liquids and a type of meditation. He drinks water then has his morning iced coffee while sitting on his back porch for up to 45 minutes. Once Walker’s head is cleared, and he feels relaxed, he heads back into the kitchen to take his daily supplements.
Nick Walker’s Supplement Stack
Many of the supplements Walker uses are made by Revive Supplements as they sponsor him and other elite bodybuilders like Iain Valliere, Melissa Valliere, Arash Rabar, Ashton Penny, and three-time Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead, among others.
Walker follows up his supplement stack with his morning protein shake:

At 9:22 a.m., Walker finally opens his cabinets to prepare his first meal of the day before his training session.
Meal One
- 75 grams hot cereal
- 80 grams banana
- 100 grams blueberries
- 20 grams almond butter
- Pink salt
- Chicken
- Onion
- Peppers
Although Walker has not had any digestive issues since adding the GI supplement to his morning routine, he still advocates for eating the foods that digest the best. An example is trading jasmine rice for cream of rice. The macronutrients are maintained, but cream of rice “goes down easier.”

Walker runs back the same meals every day of the week with a cheat meal every once in a while. Despite the monotony of his diet, Walker admits that he “never gets tired of it” as he finds the meals he makes flavorful. At 7:13 p.m. Walker makes meal five identical to meal four.
Meal Five
- Chicken
- Peppers
- Rice
- Macadamia nut oil
- Ground cinnamon
- Garlic
Anyone can diet for a day; a week. Give it a month. Can you do it for four months…five months straight; a whole year? Training is easy…the fun part.
