Bout to eat 7000 kcals like my idol Lionel, only I'll be spending the day on the couch
Call it a rest day. It’s important to listen to your body 😂
😂
Sounds about right
Laziness
sounds like a me problem
Lionel not knowing what an avocado is. 😂 Bless. This is why we love him.
The Keto comment was pretty hilarious 😂
“I’m more keto now”, then slams a morten gel
Nearly everything he consumed had carbs 😂 gotta love him
Micronutrients comments in regards to M&Ms was hysterical 😅
Where’s the four litres of chocolate milk?!? 😂
Lionel+Talbot best duo honestly. Making us feel like we're all hanging out together like buddies. Thanks guys
Like many wise people have said before me… “a Lionel Sanders video comes out, I watch it” simple as that really.
"How fast do you drive ?" - "65g carbs per hour" ))
Lionel your fans love you not because you are the best athlete, they love you because you are a great youtuber
Lol at the description 😂
I want the next video to be: The doctor reacts to Lionel Sanders’ diet lol
“Wheat thins” cereal? Don’t disrespect the Frosted Mini Wheats!
I'd imagine the smoothie tastes like chocolate - peanut butter, but with a few AA batteries dropped in.
' If you have a problem with it leave a comment below and I wont get back to you.' hahaha
This is why we love the guy. He knows he’s eating crap and jokes about it!!! The legend!! 👍
Crazy to see how the world of endurance has changed from a banana and a bottle of water on a 5h ride to a sophisticated daily meal plan 😀
I like that new aero helmet at 0:36!
This is almost how thru-hikers eat. When you retire from triathlon, you should try long distance hiking, something like the PCT or CDT 😉
Shoulda put some chick fil a sauce in that smoothie
Reading the comments is such a hoot. So many know it alls and nutrition experts out there.
Man it's a full-time job just to eat like Lionel!
I am excited to eat 6000 calories daily from now on so that I can look like Lionel Sanders!
“What are these things”… points to avocado
Lionel!!!! Congrats!! What a race. So proud!! You've inspired our little family more than you'll ever know. Love the channel ❤ 🏊♂️ 🚴♂️ 🏃♂️
I can relate to the orange chocolate shake. I ran out of water once and had to use oj for my oatmeal
This is the kind of video I like. Not that 8hr training day stuff. 🙌
Nothing better than watching Lionell eat while I Zwift...😅
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the abs workout, LS! God bless, Megan 🙏🙏🙏
Nothing better than a Lionel vid!
Yes please, more of these eating videos!
Love this dudes humour 😂
Lionel massive fan! Been following you for years now! Would love to see a video on what your strength workouts look like. 👊🏻
All the best in Kona
Lidl used to sell some biscuits with chocolate outside and orange inside, they were perfect.
Mr. noodles pack 😂
Add more processed food and seed oils and canned vegetables 😂😂😂😂😂. Straight comedy
Lionel - chop up a bunch of spam, fry it up and throw it in with your ramen noodles! Its sooo good
Thought yuu said you want to eat healthy after 2nd in the Kona few years back.
"wheat thins" cereal lol! that's frosted mini wheats!
On my long run days I eat 2 large Dairy Queen Blizzards after!! Hilarious that DQ ended up in this video. All carbs are good carbs as long as it's in the training window!
Do you only eat pre-prepped, industrial food, like out-of-the-box noodles and potatoes, and powder-ish things? No diatery fibres? Proteins from plants like lentils, beans?
Wonder what a pro tour cycling team chef would make of all this
@@princethumper don't know what cycling teams eat, I was just asking because calories are one thing, eating healthy is something different. I would like to have some REAL self-cooked food now and then.
@@bluesparrow-hx5qf yeah that's my point too, it's all hyper processed junk, there's a time and place for it but you see what the pro teams eat and they're trying to get quality real food whenever they can. This day of eating looks pretty insufficient in fibre, vitamins and minerals
Lionel is a national treasure.
Maybe this will be the year! 😂
😂😂Talbot vs Lionel 😂😂😂 thanks for the content
come on now lionel i didnt see you track the bite of that blizzard LOL
Lots of gels, mixes and things that come out of bags and wrappers. NOT ENOUGH greens and natural organic food making up this guys plate. Where is the wild fish, organic rice, veggies, complex carbs and lean protein??
How exactly is he going to put in 7000 Cal eating veggies and lean protein?.....
Lol yet where are you in your fitness
He could perform better with better nutrition for sure !
thats what im thinking too lmao, mf eats scoops of whey, fcking protein bars, shakes consisted of trash, but zero meat and only two meals of sum real food, this is the worst diet i've ever seen, idk how old is bro but he wont live long enough with diet like that

Chocolate and Orange totally works. I'm totally not expecting for you to get back to me. 😆
Canned??? Potatoes??? Canned potatoes??? 😂😂
Love these videos!
I’m buying shredded wheat from now on! If it’s good enough for Lionel it’s good enough for me!
Before you quit this sport, do one year with theplews PLEASE
Love these videos
Thx 4 the vids.
You’re a big motivation
the description LMAO
Has Lionel experimented with exogenous ketones, such as Delta G? Just wondering if it would benefit his right fuel, right time approach.
Does Erin have an hired worker just to help with the groceries?
What waist pack are you using? Looks awesome!
Maaaaate OJ and chocolate scoop…. Can’t be having that but have you tried OJ with espresso? 👀
C’mon don’t lie, you KNOW he ate that Oreo blizzard 😂
I actually do have a question- any electrolytes during the bike?? I noticed maurten and water but no explicit electrolytes.
I was wondering exactly the same
his ramen noodles probably packs about 2000mg sodium
@@enricogallus7005 !!!
the maurten 320 drinks have 200mg of sodium.
Here for all the comments from the Internet nutritionists!
Jersey Mikes is fire. Number 9 white bread, giant, mikes way no tomatoes baby!
“If the furnace is hot enough it will burn anything”
I am amazed how fast the body ages, mega miles and intensity make you older faster!!
i like the G-wagon
hahah I almost want to believe this is all a joke to throw off his competition. Because a pro athlete that eats like this is quite funny when you consider how well he does. But that begs the question...how well could he do without all the processed crap?
Jersey mikes for Sanders sponsorships
11:03
T: You actually do this every day?
L: Im doin this every day, yah, its delicious!! - Well its not delicious, its disgusting! 🤣🤣
Omg, American processed food is infamous.
I hope there's chocolate milk somewhere in there
I feel like the last time we saw a day of eating video from Lionel, he was on the "no more trash" kick, what happened? Not that I care or know better, just genuinely curious why that ethos was abandoned? I'm assuming the McDonalds was a joke but the M&M's weren't nor was the potential Jersey Mike's lol
I spoke too soon. Healthy is still on the menu 🤣
Wao pre diabetes diet 🤔 everything fine tuned with the training but have you had your bloods checked lately..
how do doctors induce diabetes into mice? - high fat and protein.... his diet is fine carbed up!
i was not aware of so much coffee is fine.tea is not good?thanks for the video
These are some rookie numbers. Gotta pump those cals up 😂 this is why we love Ironman training right?
how do you deal with nausea during the race? do you rather dont eat and try to calm down the stomach or do you say i just gonna eat and hope for the best 🤔
Hey Lionel, I am a big fan of yours and I support you in all races, truly. So please don't take this as a negative comment about your diet. But... Have you ever considered adding fats to it? It seems completely carbocentric, and I suspect your body has literally no fat adaptation. Maybe that's the bottleneck in performance you talk about? Especially for longevity of performance, fat adaptation is key: more so for long format Iron Man races. You say often you don't perform there as well there as in 70.3s.... You should talk with a professional sport nutritionist that works with pro triathletes. Love from Europe!
Do you think that a guy who eats 5000-8000 calories/day and is peeled to the bone has a body that doesn’t know how to use fat as a fuel source?! The dude is literally eating anything he can just to avoid losing weight.
@@lukepaulson3428 thanks for your (none-nuanced and simplistic) perspective on something I doubt you know much about. Judging fat metabolism by how somebody looks is over simplistic. Human biology is much more complex than that. If he, as you say, "eats anything to don't lose weight", he better eat more fat: 1 gram of fat is 9 calories, 1 gram of carb and protein is 4 calories. Besides that, our body uses different energy sources at different intensities. It is a myth that we make energy only from carbs. At rest and during aerobic effort, fat is the optimal energy source. I could explain you why but this is not the place and you don't seem to be the person either. World class, top level long distance triathletes train their body to keep the effort aerobic also at very high HR and lactate levels, also by eating low carb diets. Google "Dan Plews Low Carb". I don't doubt Lionel is super fit: I just doubt he is well fat adapted at aerobic intensities, given his diet and his results in long format iron mans. Take care. P.S. Besides being a passionate amateur endurance athlete, I am also a biochemist so I am interested and knowledgeable about this stuff.

Please can you do voice overs for these videos in future
I know i can't be like Lionel in all the same ways. But i sure can eat my way trough 7k calories in a day. Am i an athlete too?
This is so different to a Harry Sweeney video haha
If my calculations are correct, 4k calories come from carbs, 3K calories remain to reach 7K, how many fats and proteins absorbed? either 200g of fat and 185g of protein or 100g of fat and 375g of protein, solution 1 and 2 seem really extreme.
Such pretty meals 😋
Wait....what?? "Pro Triathlete" When did Lionel go back to calling himself a pro? I thought it was "pro swimmer"? Talbot I have questions!!!
Pro TH-camr actually
@@Naah732 🤣
This guy is a complete moron when it comes to nutrition to be fair
I’d be on 600 pound lift if I ate 7000 calories, and I work out 12-14 hours a week
Yay some thing I can actually do like Sanders lol With 1/4 of the volume I’ve had my 7k cal days lol
Imagine the sodium count.
Is that a wristband for monitoring his heartrate etc. And whats the brand
Update in a couple years. What does Coach Lionel eat in a day: Tea to bring stress down, capsules to bring stress down, herbs to bring stress down.
Dude, all those synthetic shakes are ok for the cals, but you gotta eat some more real food, real plants, your gut health ( microbiome ) must be bad … inflammation all over the place, weak immune system, just add in some Kefir, Kambucha, Kimchi and you’re be flying .. even more .. good luck in Kona .. from a Canadian Dr.
nice dog lionel! is he/she adopted? i mean, stranded dog from street or refugee? keep going on the great work. you are inspirational for many of us out there.
:D "im more of a keto guy" right after a sandwitch with potatos 😂 grain products are not on keto nor are potatos....and then after saying that - maurten maltodextrin dogpoo pure rafined carbs and bars - the epitome of highcarb junkfood
Do what works best for you but the nutrition habits can surely be improved 😅
wheres the Winnebago?
It’s as if the analytical obsessive Lionel lost his marbles.
How much does a daily ration cost in us dollars?
Keto = Frosted Mini Wheats
Please Lionel just win Kona and we can all stop this nonsense.
I love this guy, he's my favourite athlete. With that said, I get that he needs calorie dense food and that he wants it convenient but that doesn't give the green light to eat this much processed food. There are so many unhealthy ingredients getting smuggled in, non-stop, all day. Imagine if, instead, he ate a diet based around whole foods like potatoes, lentils, rice, oats, walnuts, etc. Only healthy fats, carbs from a clean source, protein coupled with fibre. No palm oil, low saturated fats, no high fructose corn syrup... there has to be amplitude for optimization in his diet, there just has to be.
i dont get it. 99% of PRO Athletes eat like shit? Eat high quality whole foods and feel better.
KB for example is doing just fine in eating whatever he wants as long as he gets enough calories/carbs
There’s no way he’d be able to get in 7k calories of only clean sources… you know how much food volume that’d be? He’d be eating for HOURS.
@@fidelgm11 Oh by all means, eat the calorie dense foods, just make them whole foods, for example walnuts over palm oil based "frozen desert".
@rodp7803 sure, just eat 12 lbs. of walnuts every day lmao
Do you train all 3 sports everyday ???
LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE NO CLUE
Mr No Limits: “Yea Nah 100gr/hr is my limit”
