Nick Bosa talking about what he eats every day is oddly satisfying

“I go ice cream sometimes. Or a burger or something. After the game.”

MIAMI — Nick Bosa was holding court at his podium during the 49ers final media session on Thursday when he started talking about how important it has been for him to get his normal meals in while living on the road for a week before the biggest game of his life.

Bosa, who will be named the NFL’s Rookie of the Year on Saturday, is a creature of habit, a ferocious defensive lineman who needs to keep his body properly fueled so he can go a million miles an hour on the field on Sunday.

This all got me thinking while I stood a few feet away from him on Thursday – what does an athlete in peak physical condition like Bosa eat each day to keep himself in the best shape possible?

So I asked him to take me through his day of eating, which he kindly did:

I love how he has no idea what an average calorie intake should be and that he treats himself to a burger or some ice cream… but only after a game.

This dude will be ready to go Sunday night.
