Regan Grimes Full Day of Eating 22 Days Out From the 2023 Mr. Olympia

Presser

Men’s Open division bodybuilder Regan Grimes qualified for the 2022 Olympia but pulled out three months before the contest. He believed he needed more time and an additional 15 pounds of muscle on his frame to break into the top five of the world’s most prestigious bodybuilding show. 

Grimes punched his ticket to the 2023 Mr. Olympia by winning the 2023 Europa Pro. On Oct. 16, 2023, Grimes shared his low-carb diet three weeks out from the 2023 Olympia in a video published on his YouTube channel. Check it out below:

Regan Grimes 2023 Mr. Olympia Cutting Diet

Grimes eats 88 grams of carbs daily to improve his muscle conditioning and definition to build an Olympia-worthy physique. “This is the time for the final push. We are trying to etch in those details to get in the best condition,” said Grimes.

Meal One

Meal One Macronutrients

Grimes started his day at 3:30 a.m. with an hour of cardio on the stair climber, followed by an ab workout and posing routine. He wrapped up the sweat session with 20 minutes in the sauna. Grimes had his first meal at 6:15 a.m. 

Meal Two

Meal Two Macronutrients

Grimes ate his second meal an hour before his strength training session. He added cinnamon to the cream of rice and microwaved it for a minute. Grimes added one gram of salt and seven grams of coconut oil.

Grimes mixed two scoops of beef protein in half a glass of water, which he poured over the cream of rice. This thick, sludge-like texture helps Grimes avoid cravings. Grimes favors a beef protein supplement over whey as he finds it easier to digest. This is the only meal that includes carbohydrates.

Meal Three

Meal Three Macronutrients

Pro bodybuilders are prone to cravings during the cutting phase. Post-workout, Grimes mixes two scoops of protein powder in 50 milliliters of water and eats it with a spoon instead of blending it in a shaker bottle to drink. 

Meal Four

Meal Four Macronutrients

After eating the meal, Grimes visited a physical therapist to address shoulder alignment issues, ensuring that he avoids potential muscle and strength imbalances. Grimes’ right shoulder was higher than the left, which hindered lower chest stimulation during pressing exercises. 

Meal Five

Meal Five Macronutrients

Grimes’ fifth meal included pan-fried rice, steak, and chicken breast. “It’s not a sport for the sane, that’s for sure,” said Grimes. “You’ve got to…allow yourself to suffer.”

Meal Six

Meal Six Macronutrients

Grimes ate white fish, a fast-digesting protein source, for his day’s last meal. It ensures he can perform his early-morning fasted cardio the following day on an empty stomach.
