The Rock’s Diet

The Rock adjusts his diet according to the roles for his movies, and his age. In an interview with bodybuilding.com The Rock talked about his diet saying that

Generally, I eat six or seven times a day," he says. "It's about getting enough protein to aid lean muscle growth, and everything is very precisely measured depending on what targets I'm looking to hit for that day. Lots of protein, good carbs, and veggies. Nutrition is so important, it can't be stressed enough.

He then told the website about his diet in preparation for his movie Hercules in which he played the lead role of the demigod.

"For 'Hercules,' it was a 22-week diet, full on. I'd eat a bunch of egg whites, filet mignon, chicken, fish, oatmeal, broccoli, asparagus, a baked potato, cream of rice, salad and complex carbs. All of this measured and weighed. It was all about hard work, discipline, and balance. I had carbs with every meal, so there was always a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Then part of my daily regime was my glucosamine and then also a multitude of multivitamins. Then I had glutamine, branched-chain amino acids, chondroitin, and one protein shake a day, which I drank after training."

Johnson, then 41, talked about molding his entire workout regime considering his age

"When I hit 40, I really began to start training smarter," he states with a chuckle. "I've always tried to educate myself on my nutrition, about supplements, what I'm eating, when I'm eating, exercises, calories, and so on. Eventually I hired an awesome conditioning coach who helped me. He helped me prepare for a variety of these roles, and in between roles, hitting different things. And when we get into our 40s, all of a sudden we start feeling aches and pains. I take glucosamine and chondroitin for my poor joints."

The Rock while training for Hercules ate seven protein packed meals every day, but now eats five protein packed meals. The Rock feels that just lifting weights don’t give you the muscles you desire.
