In other news about Tank, in a Men’s Health article, we learned that the singer, who is otherwise a fitness fanatic, crushes two-a-day workouts and still manages to keep his meals to the minimum: three dishes, all consumed before the sun goes down.
“The philosophy behind my diet is: you are what you eat,” Tank explained in an episode of Men’s Health’s Eat Like. “What you put into your body is going to create your body’s output. What I put into my body, I want to make sure that it’s helping me be all I can be physically as well as be all I can be mentally.”
The article goes on to say that Tank is up at 6:30 AM every day with a Celcius energy drink. Then it’s time to layer up—top and bottom compression suit, top and bottom sweatsuit, and then a winter coat—“like I’m going Denver, Colorado.” Then he’s off on the treadmill. High incline. Forty-five minutes of fat burning.
When Tank’s done with the running, he’s back in the kitchen with “super food cakes”: spinach, kale, onions, carrots, etc., all baked into bit-sized muffins. He’ll have a few after a brutal run. Then it’s time for more cardio before he hits the weights. All this before noon—sometimes with a supplement shake mixed in.
Surely, Tank is starving by now. Nope, that’s not the case.
“I’m not a heavy eater,” he explained. “I don’t eat a lot. Which is kind of how I stay lean. I don’t do it on purpose. I just don’t have a large appetite.”
