Being a WWE Superstar isn't easy, especially when you're in your between the ages of 45-55 like The Big Show, The Undertaker or Goldberg.

Aside from the physical tole that the matches take on older superstars, the preparation ahead of the matches (working out, diet) is a difficult task in itself.

Goldberg, a 50-year-old who is in the midst of a return to the ring, would be the first person to attest to that statement.

In fact, in an interview with GQ, Goldberg talked about how much food he has to take in to stay in wrestling shape:

"The amount of food I have to take in—I had to take in a huge amount of food back in the day, but the amount that I have to take in now just to seemingly gain a couple of pounds is unfathomable. I am like a machine—even more so than I was before—just trying to attain, physically, something that is passable, let alone Goldberg-esque."

Just to get a sense of how much food Goldberg is taking in, he revealed his daily diet and training schedule to GQ's Mick Rouse:

"Well, the first breakfast I had today, I had six servings of oatmeal, 20 blueberries, and a couple tablespoons of honey on it. Then I trained. Afterwards, I had twelve eggs with two yolks, six pieces of bacon, four pieces of gluten-free toast with avocado. Then a shake. After that I had two gluten-free pizzas with loads and loads of hamburger meat for protein on top of it. Then another shake. My son and I are about to go to Muay Thai, but on the way we’re going to have some pho. Some soup and noodles, some shrimp. Then I’ll do some training at Muay Thai and on the way home we’ll get some pho again for dinner, because the wife hasn’t eaten it yet today. Then I’ll do the family thing, and then I’ll eat again."

That's a lot of food, but that, and training, is what it takes to stay in wrestling shape when you're 50, and we're sure wrestling fans appreciate the work Goldberg has put in to do so.

 

After disposing of Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble, Goldberg has a chance to win the Universal Championship Sunday at Fastlane against Canadian Kevin Owens.
