Actor Mark Wahlberg’s current food intake is over 7,000 calories daily, to gain weight for his role in the upcoming film, Stu. According to his personal chef Lawrence Duran, the star, 49, is making a big commitment to weight gain. “Morning usually starts at about 3 am. His first breakfast is four eggs — that’s the pre-breakfast. Then, he does his workout, after which he eats eight eggs, six strips of bacon, a cup of rice, two tablespoons of olive oil and a protein shake,” said Duran. 

The chef said it is a protein-inspired, mass weight-gainer programme to help build a little more muscle. “Three hours later, he eats some ground beef or turkey, as a hamburger patty or a meatloaf, with another cup of rice. [After another three hour gap], he usually eats half of a roasted chicken, another cup of rice, a cup of cooked spinach and beets. [The meal after that] is either a veal or a pork chop,  four-ounce piece of salmon with another cup of rice, olive oil and beets as well. And then we’ll do another meal, which is usually eight ounces of some type of steak, eight ounces of some kind of white fish,” the chef summed up.
Wahlberg also has one more meal before bed to help him pile on the weight.
