Phil has his coffee mixture, Tiger has his crunchy peanut butter and banana sandwiches, Bryson has his protein powder.
Needless to say, but most Tour players take their nutrition seriously, especially during the season. But what about when the season starts and stops as it has this year due to the coronavirus?
Like Phil, Tiger and Bryson, Patrick Reed has joined the litany of Tour pros to transform his body in part by dialing in his diet during quarantine.
In a recent interview on âThe Pros Showâ with Jason Alexander, Reed revealed heâd lost some weight since the Tour hit pause in the middle of the Players Championship in March.
âI think the biggest thing was I felt like weâre going to have a sprint to the finish for the year, so I though I needed to get in a little better shape,â Reed explained.
So howâd he do it?
âFor me itâs more about diet; I love food, I love to eat.â (Who doesnât, am I right?)
âSo I just changed things up,â Reed said. âI basically took as many carbs and sugars out as possible and for me, once I figured out breakfast, itâs been pretty good.â
As for Reedâs special breakfast, I hope youâre hungry.
It includes three sausage links, two sunny side up eggs and a whole avocado.
âMix it all in and itâs perfect. It gives me enough energy to get through the day and at the same time it tastes amazing.â
Reedâs breakfast special might be light on carbs and sugar, but itâs definitely not lacking in calories. (Calories estimated using MyFitness Pal.)
3 sausages: 160 calories
2 sunny side up eggs: 140 calories
1 whole avocado: 240 calories
Thatâs a whopping 540 calories just for breakfast and amounts to about a fifth of your daily calorie intake, assuming you are eating around 2,500 calories per day.
But hey, whatever works.
Reed will make his return to the Tour this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial.
