Conor McGregor diet plan
In an interview with a popular men's health magazine, Conor McGregor revealed that he doesn't eat take away food. Well, the Irish superstar has a sweet mouth and he is very much fond of drinking coffee and eating cakes. According to McGregor, cakes and coffee are helping him to put on weight for fighting in the welterweight category, which is also keeping his sweet mouth satisfied.
Conor McGregor also consumes good quality meats, greens and carbohydrates like sweet potato and butternut squash. The former champion believes that protein consumption is highly important for muscle building and he relies a lot on protein shakes. Other than shakes, Conor McGregor gains a plenty amount of protein from chicken, salmon, steak and eggs. He further said that staying hydrated is very important and the first thing he does in the morning is stretch and drink water.
