Paul Wight – ‘I Used To Eat 13,000 – 18,000 Calories A Day’

Paul Wight was eating like a champ during his run in WWE.

Speaking during a recent interview with “talkSPORT,” the former Big Show revealed that he’d eat a ton of food to maintain his 500 pound weight while working in WWE.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On his calorie intake at the time: “My calorie intake back in the day — but I understand it was a lot of empty bad calories — I just used to eat whatever I wanted in massive amounts. I’d probably say somewhere [between] 13,000 and 18,000 calories a day.”

On what his eating habits were like: “You’d get Big Macs and I’d get three or four Big Macs and then I’d get fries and then I’d get a shake and I’d get apple pies and probably a fifth sandwich too. It was nothing. I’d go to Taco Bell and get like 20 tacos.”

On losing a lot of the weight in 2017: “You can do that when you’re younger and you’re still going to be big. But as you get older you realise, ‘Ah, well. I can’t really eat like that any more. Now, I kind of feel like I eat amounts. I eat have about ten ounces of protein, I have a small portion of carbs and some veg. I try to eat halfway decent.”
