[h2]Rex Ryan maintains his girlish figure with 7,000 calories a day[/h2]
By MJD
The big fella has gone on several weight-loss programs to raise money for his children's teams, but admits the pounds always return.
"There's not too many fat guys that are coaches," he said in 2007. "But I don't see how your weight can make you a better coach."
To put that 7,000 calories into perspective, here's one possible daily diet that would reach 7,000 calories a day. All nutritional information comes from the McDonalds website.
Breakfast:
3 Egg McMuffins (900 calories)
2 Sausage Burritos (600 calories)
4 Hash Browns (600 calories)
Lunch:
Quarter Pounder w/Cheese (510 calories)
McRib (500 calories)
Large Fries (500 calories)
2 Hot Apple Pies (500 calories)
Dinner:
2 Big Macs (1080 calories)
2 Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches (760 Calories)
10 piece Chicken McNuggets (460 calories)
Large Fries (500 calories)
Chocolate Chip Cookie (160 calories)
So yeah, that's quite a bit. In fact, in a vote on the Huffington Post website, more than a third of people voting don't even believe that a 7,000calorie-a-day diet is even possible.
I don't know. I'm not a nutritionist (this may not shock you), but metabolism can be a funny thing. Some people are just born to burn calories allday long, and clearly, Rex Ryan, despite the weight, is a high-energy guy. He's always had a high-stress job. My guess is that he's an eat-a-lot,burn-a-lot type of fellow.
Whatever the case, he's obviously a gifted football coach, and as long as he's winning, I'm sure Jets fans won't care if he relaxes eachnight in bed with an economy-size tub of Crisco and a spoon.
