Mark Sisson: What I Eat in a Day (2024)

[@BowlerTheHatGuy]

He sounds so young! If I didn't see him I would never say he is 70!

[@shirleygriffin7672]

Thanks for sharing today

[@GH-wf9ue]

Meat,fish,eggs,cheese&buter👍🏻

[@jjr8220]

I see comments questioning the calories. A steak like this has about 800 calories give or take a couple hundred. So it is in the range he indicated. I don’t agree with not eating grains and fruit because it lacks fiber but nevertheless, the calories are correct.

[@ken_wilkens]

Thanks Mark! LOVE the Athletic Brewing Company NA beer - my favorite is the Hazy Wave IPA.

[@jamesunderdal8976]

Looks solid.

[@joerockhead7246]

thank you

[@michelle6435]

Does he have normal sugar with coffee? Or a healthier version

[@TheAj0323]

I believe he use monk fruit sugar. I've seen him use it in a previous video.

[@michelle6435]

@ thanks!

[@sportbilly6329]

Maybe a side of TRT?

[@matthewbruyninckx3054]

Why cutting out the chicken? Just curious

[@2AJames]

I'm wondering the same. For low fat protein, chicken seems at best comparable if not superior to fish.

[@seannyfraze]

Sugar in coffee?

[@johnstone2029]

Coconut sugar i think he said previous

[@wiz4020]

Where's the eggs?

[@marksmellybell448]

Legend

[@ChappySinclair]

Have you always eaten this way?

[@The_Blanco_Bronco]

Quite low carb. I would say the meals in this video totaled maybe 20 carbs? Maybe less. Are you keto right now? Or do you have some fruit at lunch that knocks out you from time to time?

[@chimaokehie7330]

Sugar in coffee is not Keto:)

[@amichiganblackman3200]

​@@chimaokehie7330yes it is.

[@The_Blanco_Bronco]

@@chimaokehie7330 I missed that quick clip. Even with the sugar it's such a tiny packet. Maybe 2 teaspoons? Only 8g of carbs. Still nothing.

[@LauraB.335]

@@chimaokehie7330- if he stays in ketosis when he has it, then it can be part of keto.

[@GlennGJ100]

that's like 800 calories at most, not 1800-2200

[@User4563-di1cm]

He usually eats very fatty red meat like ribeyes which are well over 1,000 calories for 16 oz

[@fluorophoremusic3679]

I know this works for Mark an he is in awesome shape...but damn man I'd shoot myself on anything less than 3500-4500kcal per day.

[@charlievance8603]

Mark is ripped for a 70 yr old that's for sure...props. but frankly looks like a ripped 70 yr old

[@benjaminbruniger4534]

Which is ok.

[@oscarduke7946]

If he thinks he's consuming 1800-2200 calories with those 2 meals he's mental All he eats 2 small meals consisting of meat and vegtables. Thats it. He's hardly eating anything I myself eat 2200 calories per day. And here's what I eat : • oats, protein powder, honey , blueberries •protein bar • sandwich •protein shake with fruit •salmon rice and vegtables •yoghurt and berries

[@InspiratieNu]

thnk you are right ... maybe about 1500 kcal those 2 meals.

[@skorpers]

You're forgetting how many calories there are in fat. His coffee is definitely 200+ calories alone.

[@chimaokehie7330]

Do your research before commenting. A ribeye has about 1:1 fat to protein ratio. Therefore, a 300g ribeye steak will be approximately 60g P/ 60g F which amounts to about 750 calories. If he does that twice a day you've got a 1500. Now don't forget the veggies have been sautéed in some sort of olive or avocado oil (1.5 tbsp = 21g = 180 calories) and the salad dressing contains another tbsp of olive or avocado oil (1 tbsp = 14g = 120 calories). All together you are looking at close to 1800 calories already. This doesn't take into consideration the foods like the veggies, teas, drinks or beverages he's taking in. Dude 1800-2200 is as accurate as it can get. You cannot compare a protein shake to a steak, I'm sorry.

[@huwfulcher]

The steak, salmon, non alcoholic beer and wine alone clock in at 1500 calories. He then has mayo in the steak, dressing on the salad. Easily 1800

[@AmLih-wv2rz]

exactly.....this guy I think never went to school and lacks maths skills...he thinks 400+400 equals 2000???guys like this on social media is sad...hope AI takes over soon all this faulty stuff on social media.....

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

Expensive. For most people.

[@johnstone2029]

Replace with ground beef or patties i think

[@ChappySinclair]

Learn to hunt.

[@fnazazel750]

Good comments.

[@wiz4020]

Ground beef is perfect for us less fortunate! If you can afford grass fed even better! I eat a lot of eggs too!

[@ngp150]

Seems so low in electrolytes

[@thr9449]

its a bit dull, imagine eating fish or steak with veggies for the same 2 meals day in day out. that must get incredibly boring. what about delicious thai, indonesian, sri lankan, egyptian, lebanese, spanish, french, greek, italian food out there. so much variety, and healthy food you could be eating

[@Ivan.80p]

Swap out it out for other types of meat with lean protein. Like chicken. Tuna. Lean ground beef

[@oscarduke7946]

@thr9449: I agree. That would boring pretty quickly. However thats not the only thing wrong with his diet. Theres so many things wrong with it I dont know where to begin Its extremely low calories. Meat and veg x 2. He's hardly eating anything. He thinks he's eating 1800-2200 calories which is insane . He's nowhere near that amount And its keto. Theres no carbs in his diet . You need carbs for energy. The brain runs off glucose There's gonna be nutrient deficiencys too. I mean wheres the fruit ? Wheres the nuts ? Wheres the carbs ? There's so much missing from his diet And he's hardly consuming any fibre. He's getting a bit from the veg but that's it. He needs way more. Needs grains and nuts in his diet for fibre

[@amichiganblackman3200]

You don't need carbs for energy.

[@oscarduke7946]

@@amichiganblackman3200 Carbs are the bodies primary fuel source. The brain runs off glucose Ketones are nothing more than a back up if there's no carbs available but the body preferes carbs over ketones Carbs also provide much needed fibre

[@LauraB.335]

@@oscarduke7946 - not true at all. Ketones are the body’s preferred energy source. No carbs are needed from an external source ever, as the body will provide all the glucose it needs through gluconeogenesis. And the brain can use up to 75% ketones for fuel, which is a much cleaner fuel for the brain and the heart. Fiber is completely unnecessary, and many have a hard time digesting it, especially those with IBS, UC, or Crohns.

[@trainwellracewell]

Coming off that fast and eating all that meat for lunch would seem to put the body into digestion overload and lend to feeling lethargic the next few hours. I can imagine a nap being part of this routine

[@skorpers]

Protein is a good wake up macro. When not paired with carbs it keeps your energy consistent. If you do eat carbs then you need to make sure to eat a consistent amount of slow digesting carbs each meal.

[@trainwellracewell]

@ That’s interesting but red meat takes a lot of energy to digest which requires lots of blood moving to the gut. I would be interested to know how a person truly feels in those 2-3 hours post meal

[@skorpers]

@@trainwellracewell According to what evidence? There's all sorts of levels of lean. You can eat lettuce covered in tablespoons of olive oil and it will be just as hard to digest.

[@LauraB.335]

I fast this way, and eat lots of red meat. I do not get tired. The only time I get tired is when I eat too many carbs.

[@patrickgililov3239]

Mark, why do you consume so little fat?

He never said his portions were small. Your assumptions are not justification for criticism.

Hooray for statins?

[@adamb3326]

Some people really live by him. I do follow him but that’s too much red meat.

[@antoniootero1839]

Nope, red meat is one of the best things you can eat, they lied to us when they said it was bad for “cholesterol” they said the same about eggs and we know that’s bs now

[@BowlerTheHatGuy]

Food cholesterol does not impact blood level cholesterol. Its a myth that Has been finally debunked.

[@LauraB.335]

@@gilbertsaller913- nope, not true, depending on what type of cholesterol it is. LDL didn’t become a thing until the pharmaceutical companies created a drug that could lower it. “Normal” levels of cholesterol, when there were far fewer heart attacks, was much higher. Researchers are now finding that LDL can be protective, especially as we age.

[@gilbertsaller913]

Some of what you said is true, but it's just not that black and white. Pharmaceutical companies developed statins to lower LDL cholesterol in the 1980s, but the relationship between LDL and heart disease was well-established long before that. The Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948, provided key evidence linking high LDL cholesterol to increased risk of heart disease. Statins were developed based on decades of research into cholesterol’s role in cardiovascular health, not because LDL itself was a new concept. It's also a misconception to say that 'normal' cholesterol levels were much higher in the past, leading to fewer heart attacks. While heart disease rates may have been lower in earlier years, factors like diet, life expectancy, and medical understanding played a role. We now know that high LDL is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events, and current guidelines recommend keeping LDL levels under 100 mg/dL (or even lower for those at high risk). That said, you are right, there is some ongoing research suggesting that high LDL levels in older adults might not carry the same risks and could even have protective effects in certain cases, but there are a lot nuanced findings to those studies. It's also still an area of active research, and the broader scientific consensus remains that high LDL is a major risk factor for heart disease, particularly when combined with other factors like high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes.
