Eli further says, “Right after I work out, I try to have something right away, usually a protein shake with whey protein, and a piece of fruit. I try to eat every two to three hours, and my staple meal is chicken and broccoli. When I know I have to go somewhere, I’ll put some oatmeal with protein powder and berries in a container with an ice pack and snack on that. Basically, I try to eat a lean meat source and vegetables and brown rice — six small meals a day.”

Well Eli also is a qualified Santa as he has a kinesiology and nutrition major at the University of Maryland and also worked as a motivational speaker with inspirational life coach Tony Robbins for more than three years now.
