TL;DR

The four things you'd lose by not watching

4 items
1

Full day of eating totals ~3,685 calories, 335g protein, 65g fat, 440g carbs — a very slow gain phase after cutting to 6% body fat.

2

Protein intake set at roughly 1.5 g per pound of body weight, driven by Meno Henselmans’ influence and justified because Mike is enhanced (exogenous testosterone).

3

No solid breakfast; morning starts with supplements (creatine, NMN, CBD, etc.) then a pre/intra-workout shake (45g protein, 30g carbs, electrolytes) to oppose catabolism; first human meal is a high‑carb post‑workout meal.

4

Evening snack is Twin Peaks protein puffs eaten dry like cereal with a spoon — 3 servings give ~63g protein, very low fat/carbs — a personal favorite he tracks via the RP Diet Coach app.

Post‑Workout High‑Carb Whole‑Food Meal

WhatFirst solid meal immediately after training: chicken breast, vegetables, rice, plus precisely five slices of dark rye bread, totalling ~70g protein, 10g fat, 150g carbohydrate.
WhenImmediately upon returning from the gym, after finishing the intra‑workout shake.
Dose70 g protein, 10 g fat, 150 g carbohydrate.
For whomMike during a slow massing phase; easily scaled for others by adjusting bread or rice portions.
WhyMaximise glycogen replenishment and support insulin‑driven anti‑catabolic and mild anabolic signalling after the training bout; the large carbohydrate load capitalises on heightened insulin sensitivity post‑exercise.
CaveatsNot mentioned, but the volume of carbs is tailored to his ~3700 kcal budget; a smaller individual would need less.

Mike uses a prepared meal from Meafit (chicken, veggies, rice) as the base and adds five slices of dark rye bread to hit his carbohydrate target. He calls this his “big post‑workout meal for them big gains.” The meal is consumed after the shake, so there is a seamless transition from liquid intra‑workout nutrition to solid food. He does not eat breakfast, so this is his first whole‑food meal of the day, reinforcing the anabolic environment he set up with the shake. The precise bread count (five slices) shows the tight tracking he maintains with the RP Diet Coach app.

Mechanism

After resistance training, muscle cells are primed to take up glucose and amino acids via GLUT4 translocation and higher insulin sensitivity. A large, high‑carb, high‑protein meal refills muscle glycogen and provides substrate for muscle protein synthesis, minimizing the catabolic window and accelerating recovery.

Personal experience

Mike says the meal “tastes like anything uh better than anything I would make,” and he has been using Meafit for months; he appreciates the consistency and convenience.

I have chicken breast, veggies, and rice. … And then precisely five slices of dark rye bread. Bringing the overall macros on this meal to 70 g of protein, 10 g of fat, and 150 g of carbohydrate. Big post‑workout meal for them big gains.

Also said
“I am maintaining slash slow gaining after getting down to about 6% body fat in this diet.”— Frames why such a large post‑workout meal fits his current goal.

Evening High‑Protein Snack with Protein Puffs

WhatThree servings of Twin Peaks Ingredients nacho cheese protein puffs (total ~63g protein, 12g fat, 6g carbs) eaten dry with a spoon from a bowl, like cereal with no milk.
WhenDuring evening chill time, about an hour before bed, as the last meal of the day.
Dose3 servings of protein puffs (21 g protein, 4 g fat, 2 g carbs per serving) = 63 g protein, 12 g fat, 6 g carbs.
For whomMike, but presented as a selfishly enjoyed product that others may adopt if they want a crunchy, savoury, high‑protein snack.
WhyProvides a high‑protein, very low‑carb/fat final meal to meet daily protein targets without adding significant calories close to sleep; easily tracked and satisfying as a TV‑watching snack.
CaveatsThe flavour is intensely cheesy; he describes it as strange to eat dry with a spoon, which might not appeal to everyone. Also, he has no affiliation with Twin Peaks, so it’s a personal endorsement, not a sponsored placement.

Mike discovered Twin Peaks protein puffs and was struck by the macros – 4g fat, 2g carbs, 21g protein per serving – allowing him to get a large protein hit (63 g) in the evening without derailing his tightly controlled daily fat limit (65 g). He eats them while watching his favourite shows (Justice League, Batman, military/AI YouTube) as part of a wind‑down ritual. He deliberately eats them with a spoon, comparing it to cereal, but without milk because they are cheesy. He laughs at himself for the habit but finds it enjoyable and effective. This meal is logged in the RP Diet Coach app as the 5th and final meal of the day.

Mechanism

No biological mechanism discussed beyond the utility of casein/whey blend? Not specified.

Personal experience

He says, “I have a spoon in here and I eat these like a cereal, except there's no milk in there because they're cheesy puffs.” He also mentions that this is “most of the food I eat” (implying it’s a staple), and he buys it because it’s great, with zero financial incentive.

“every serving, which is plenty of puffs, gives you 4 g of fat. Okay. 2 g of carbs. Wo, not bad. 21 grams of protein.”— Demonstrates the macro appeal of the product.
“We have at RP or through my own private channels zero absolutely zero affiliation. Take zero money from Twin Peaks.”— Discloses the lack of sponsorship, reinforcing the genuine endorsement.

Twin Peaks Ingredients Protein Puffs (Nacho Cheese)

Product

Evening snack consumed dry with a spoon like cereal; 3 servings provide 63g protein, 12g fat, 6g carbs.

Mike discovered this product and purchased it himself; he explicitly states zero affiliation with RP or personal financial ties. The macros fit his evening need for high protein, very low fat/carbs, and the crunchy texture satisfies snacking urges while watching TV. He calls them “unbelievable” and says they “taste good.” He speculates he might one day try them with milk but currently eats them dry out of a bowl with a spoon.

vs alternatives

Implied versus other high‑protein snacks like bars or shakes; no direct comparison.

Personal experience

He describes his ritual: “I have a spoon in here and I eat these like a cereal, except there's no milk in there because they're cheesy puffs.” He laughs at his own quirkiness.

the Twin Peaks Ingredients company that makes this unbelievable product, protein puffs that are nacho cheese flavor. And you guys, they taste good.

“We have at RP or through my own private channels zero absolutely zero affiliation. Take zero money from Twin Peaks.”— Reinforces the unbiased recommendation.

Pure Protein Chocolate Protein Bars

Product

Midday snack: four bars provide 80g protein, 20g fat, 60g carbs; he adds bread to bring it to ~25g fat and 150g carbs during his massing phase.

Mike uses Pure Protein bars as a convenient, tasty protein source for his afternoon snack. He eats them alongside decaf coffee and bread to round out the macros. The bars are a staple he enjoys, and he specifically calls them “amazing.” He does not mention any affiliation, and the endorsement appears genuine.

vs alternatives

No direct comparison.

Personal experience

“These bars are amazing,” he says, and he eats the whole plate quickly to return to work.

pure protein u chocolate flavored protein bars precisely four of them for 80 g of protein, 20 g of fat, 60 g of carbs, but I'm adding bread to that equation because I'm currently bulking a little bit.

Element Electrolyte Drink Mix

Supplement

Added to the intra‑workout shake for hydration and electrolyte balance.

Mike uses one full Element packet in his workout shake, combined with a large volume of water and Gatorade powder. He credits this mix with providing “fantastic hydration” and a well‑calculated electrolyte dose that helps him perform through the session without cramping or fatigue. There is no disclosed affiliation.

vs alternatives

No direct comparison to other electrolyte products.

Personal experience

He says, “got my element salt for hydration” and describes the outcome as “fantastic hydration.”

Got my element salt for hydration. I make it all in this one giant container and really fill it up pretty damn close to the brim.

Gatorade Powder (Carb Source)

Product

Used for the 30g of carbohydrate in the intra‑workout shake.

Mike chooses Gatorade powder as a convenient, rapidly absorbed carbohydrate source. Combined with protein and electrolytes, it supplies energy during lifting and contributes to the shake’s anti‑catabolic effect. He does not compare it to dextrose or other carb powders, but it’s a long‑standing component of his routine.

30 g of carbs from the Gatorade, pretty close to zero fats.

Creatine, NMN, CBD Gummies, Fish Oils, Blood Pressure Medication, Metformin

Supplement

Taken each morning in pre‑packed 21‑day blister packs. NMN and CBD gummies are specifically mentioned, along with “fish oils and stuff, blood pressure medications, metformin” for health support when enhanced.

Mike preps three 7‑day supplement packs at a time, giving 21 days of doses. He includes creatine monohydrate, NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) for NAD+ support, CBD gummies to “manage the side effects on the brain from taking special sports supplements,” and other items like fish oils for general health. He also mentions prescription medications (blood pressure and metformin) that “enhanced folks use to stay alive slightly longer to make better gains.” The stack is tailored to his enhanced status, and he takes them all in the morning after waking.

vs alternatives

No comparison given.

Personal experience

He shows the blister pack and says, “I make three of these at a time. So I get 21 days of supplements.”

I start pretty much every morning out with supplements, creatine, NMN, and CBD gummies to manage the uh side effects on the brain from taking special sports supplements will not be shown in this video for illegal reasons.

Zcaf Decaf Coffee

Product

Midday decaf coffee made with hot water from the faucet (lukewarm). Served black with Splenda.

Mike drinks decaf coffee for the taste and perceived health benefits, as he avoids caffeine later in the day. He uses an instant decaf brand (Zcaf) and prepares it by running hot water from the kitchen faucet, resulting in a lukewarm brew. He gets criticised for this but insists it doesn’t matter because it’s decaf; he only cares about the liquid and taste. He adds Splenda for sweetness. The ritual is entirely about comfort and habit, not performance.

vs alternatives

No comparison to other decaf methods.

Personal experience

He says, “I get so much crap for this practice fresh from all the coffee people. I just don't understand why it's hot water. Sure, it's not actually hot and it's really kind of lukewarm and I have low expectations for myself and everything around me, but why does that matter? Coffee's coffee, am I right, people?”

I'm having Zcaf coffee with elect as the French say, which for me means pure protein u chocolate flavored protein bars precisely four of them…
