The last time Eddie Hall was seen at an expert strongman contest, he won the 2017 World’s Strongest Man (WSM). He’s recently kept busy by boxing with rival and 2018 WSM Champion Hafthor Björnsson and has even dove back into some old swimming roots.
This fall, the strongman legend will officially return to the game by competing within the 2022 Giants Live World’s Strongest Nation (WSN) competition. In a team-oriented, head-to-head contest, Hall can be the captain of Team UK, while eight-time WSM competitor Robert Oberst will captain Team USA. The competition will happen on November 26 in Liverpool, England.
In preparation for his return to strongman, Hall shared an August 24 video on his YouTube channel that details his every day nutrition three months before he competes in Liverpool.

Here’s Hall breaking down how he eats as he trains to excel in strongman again.
Breakfast
In response to Hall, his wife normally prepares his every day meals. On the day this video was filmed, she needed to work, so Hall made every part himself — with the assistance of his wife’s written instructions.
First on the ledger for Hall was a morning protein shake. It consisted of two scoops of whey protein, two tablespoons of peanut butter, one banana, some Skinny Food chocolate spread, milk, and ice. The strongman guessed the shake had around 700 calories and 65 grams of protein.
Afterward, before walking his dog for some morning cardio, Hall weighed himself on a scale. The size read 160.45 kilograms (353.7 kilos) — greater than 40 kilos above Hall’s weight during his boxing match with Björnsson in late March this yr.
Lunch
Before he headed out for a training session, Hall pieced together his lunch. The athlete used scissors to chop up several chicken thighs right into a skillet. Then, he chopped up onions and tomatoes and mixed them with coriander, cilantro, and his own special low-sugar cooking sauce. He packed this mix into five wraps, which had roughly 1,500 calories and 80 grams of protein.
To have a smaller meal after his workout, Hall filled up two additional wraps. His every day total after training was 2,800 calories and 305 grams of protein.

Dinner
To conclude his day, Hall made two “Beast Burgers.” These burgers had two big patties of beef on respective buns, sauce, tomatoes, and cheese.
All the pieces went easily aside from strips of bacon which were burnt beyond salvage, and a big side of fries — which Hall did not pat dry, toss in oil, and plop within the air fryer. After he consulted his wife on the phone, he acquiesced and plated his non-crispy potato wedges.
After ending this final monster of a meal, Hall said his total calories for the day were 4,600, and total protein was 385 grams.

In his strongman heyday, Hall competed at over 400 kilos during contests. That may be a far cry from his current weight of 353.7 kilos. Such a possible shift might mean Hall excels more on agility-related events while sacrificing strength in heavier points on the 2022 WSN.
Hall will take his nutrition and training to captain Team UK on the 2022 Giants Live World’s Strongest Nation on November 26 in Liverpool, England.
