4 Things You Can Learn From The Rock's 'Black Adam' Meal Plan

You Don't Have To Drink Huge Protein Shakes Like The Rock

Johnson is well-known for his grueling sessions in the gym. Within 10 minutes post-workout, he follows up by chugging a shake with about 70 grams of protein, 35 grams of carbs, electrolytes and creatine.

Both carbs and protein are essential for recovering from exercise, so it's not a bad idea to fuel up. However, if you aren't the Rock, you don't need as much protein as Johnson does. In fact, high protein intake may backfire for diet goals. 70 grams of protein is more than most of us need at any one time. If your body doesn't use it, it will be converted to fat, just the same as other nutrients.
