(1,975 posts)and those fabulous athletes probably won't eat 1/10 of it. They know better.
That's pretty much what those guys eat.

(14,537 posts)They have a dieticians, nutritionists, and their own dining hall. All calories are not the same.
Not close to what? Have you ever been in Schilleter Hall? They serve french fries, pizza, pork, etc. Do you know how many tons of fast food joints are around campus? Have you actually seen the players? A lot of them have big guts. Do you know the average weight of their linemen? Even some of their linebackers are fat. They're college students. They pig out.

(14,537 posts)has a Culinary coach, nutritionists and dieticians. They do not eat in Schiller, they have had their own dining hall since 2012. They are weighed daily and diet adjusted if they lose or gain to much weight. Their diets are formulated, individually, for optimal performance for their positition. Not all calories are the same. They may "pig out" but not how you think.

(23,337 posts)He actually said that. He also said he wanted to see how much was left over after the team was done. You know hes going to snarf up the leftovers, you just know it. Unless, of course, it was a salad. 🙄

(70,578 posts)BTW The Clemson football players eat like kings. The eat @ in a 50 million $ complex
and eat @ "a training table." The food there is no doubt some of the best of the best.
Fresh beef, chicken, pork, seafood, freshly baked rolls and bread, fresh fruit, vegetables,
greens, corn bread, juice, pasta, eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, and sauces are all common
to big time program's training tables. And President fuck head gives them Burger King?
***********
Clemson this year opened a $55 million football-only building featuring a dining hall where, once everything is up and running for the defending national champions, a player's biometric readings will help determine his recommended diet for the day. The player will put his thumb on a scanner and step on a scale, and his personal menu will be produced based on the information gleaned from the readings.
Paul Harrington, Clemson's director of football nutrition, said he and his staff meet with every player to set nutrition goals. Players are weighed before and after practice and closely monitored. Chef Donna McCain will fix individual meals for a player if it helps him stay on track.

Bet there will be no pictures of Trumpty Dumpty standing on the same floor as team members.

(62,448 posts)ETA - hell probably put a chair station there so the players feel more at home.
Sure, he's paying for it nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean?

(38,326 posts)Half of it vegan, all of it respectfully cooked by my extreme foodie carnivorous brother and his taco truck compadres -- bloody red meat and fish (some of it wild caught or shot) on one grill, turn around, vegan, maybe even Kosher, respecting dead Wild West unspoken Kosher grandma and her veggie food on the other grill. (My crazy grandma would rather talk to the squirrels or neighbors than eat them.)
Magic.
My predominant family heritage is Wild West beef ranchers, hunters, and fishermen. Curiously we don't tend to marry the same.
I've killed and cut apart meat I've eaten. I've eaten animals I've known.
My vegan wife still feels bad about fishing trips she's suffered with my dad. On her last fishing trip with my dad, back in the twentieth century, she hauled in a fish half as big as she is and let it go.
These days I'm mostly vegetarian.
Fat neighbors I don't like, feral pigs and otherwise, they should be thankful for that.
I'm pretty sure it's in my genes that quite a few of my Nordic ancestors survived difficult times because they were willing to eat their dead frozen neighbors, maybe even to the point they helped the worst of their neighbors along to that dead frozen state.
I might celebrate Trump or Pence in a dead frozen state, but I'd never eat them.
