When it became clear that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had an extremely restrictive diet, there was a general sentiment that he didn’t stray from those restrictions. But over time, Brady has teased a few meals that make him take a cheat day.
It turns out, he likes cheeseburgers and chick wings. And there’s a few more times to add to the list.
Here’s what Brady told Men’s Health’s Ben Court:
“If I’m craving bacon, I have a piece. Same with pizza. You should never restrict what you really want,” Brady says. “We’re humans, here for one life. What’s changed as I’ve gotten older is now if I want pizza, I want the best pizza. I don’t eat a slice that tastes like s— and then wonder, Why am I eating s— pizza?”
Brady’s “don’t-eat” list generally includes white sugar, white flour, MSG, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, coffee, caffeine, fungus or dairy. That is, unless he’s feel like he wants to get away from the diet for a day.
