5 1/2 pounds of baked beans, 36 pigs in blankets, 4 cups of yogurt, 500 grams of tuna. There's only one person willing to put himself through this in the name of hitting his protein goals — Kai Sheps.
Determined to bulk up after feeling unhappy with his physique, Kai set out on a mission to pack in the protein any way he could and build some serious muscle. Along the way, he’s built a massive following, eager to see what he might eat next.
After sharing countless weird protein challenges, his followers wanted to know what his actual daily diet looks like. Because surely it’s not 500g of blended tuna…
