Dwayne Johnsonhas generously shared insights into his daily dietary habits with the public on numerous occasions. The Rock gained fame through his successful wrestling career, after which he transitioned into movies and became one of the highest-paid action stars in the industry. TheBlack Adamactor is also an entrepreneur, owning a production company and a professional football league.
Johnson revealed in an interview with Delish that he consumed approximately 6000-8000 calories per day over the years. While the specific components of his diet varied, theFast Fiveactor confirmed that he ate six to seven meals a day, regardless of whether he was preparing for a movie role. Johnson explained toDelish:
“I do eat five to six, sometimes seven meals a day, whether or not I’m training for a role, which usually I am training for some sort of role or trying to maintain for the role that I’m currently in.”
In his initial years, theJumanjiactor ate nearly 52 ounces of cod per day, which was his major protein intake. Over the years, he reportedly swapped out cod for proteins like beef, chicken, and bison. For breakfast meals, he also included additional proteins like 10-egg-white-omelet. His carbs mainly included white rice, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes.
Some of his daily meals were also rounded up with a cup of green vegetables. TheJungle Cruiseactor is also famous for his cheat meals, the most famous being the big bulky bacon cheeseburger.

Mark Wahlberg’s Dietary Plan Is Not Nearly As Impressive As Dwayne Johnson’s
During the filming ofFather Stu, Mark Wahlberg had to put on weight and he ate almost everything he could get his hands on, including KFC, pancakes, and beer. However, even during this period, his maximum daily intake was 7000 calories, which is less than what Johnson consumes in his regular diet. However, Wahlberg did have a relatively strict diet schedule normally, which included five meals – three breakfasts, an evening snack, and dinner.
Wahlberg shared his dietary routine after the filming ofMile 22toMen’s Health Australia, which helped him regain his muscular physique. His first breakfast, around 3 a.m., consisted of steel oats, peanut butter, blueberries, and eggs. At 5:30 a.m., he would have a protein shake and three turkey burgers. His third breakfast included a grilled chicken salad with two hard-boiled eggs, olives, avocado, cucumber, tomato, and lettuce.
His snack comprised grilled chicken and bok choy, while he ate fish like halibut, cod, or sea bass for dinner alongside some vegetables. He also maintained a protein-rich diet, but unlike Johnson, theBoogie Nightsactor lacked significant starch in his diet. Clearly, Johnson takes the upper hand with his stricter and richer diet among the two. However, both their commitment to health is unmatched in Hollywood.
