(No, he doesn’t choose among these options. He eats them all,
according to the Post.)
Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce,
tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-
egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped
with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.
Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese
sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000
calories.
Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.
