The film set was located at Georgia. And he had to eat every two hours in order to put on weight and maintain it for the film. He had prepared meals on the film set and his work schedules were busy and intense. Aldis used to eat his prepared meals on the set. He did not count calories or proportions of the macronutrients. Aldis admitted:

“I don’t know my macro count. I just eat, fam,” 

He continued:

“You’ve got to watch everything you eat.”

Further, he added:

“Sunflower seeds in there, some walnuts, almonds. Birds like nuts.”

Breakfast, lunch and dinner of Aldis: the details

If he was not preparing for any physical role, breakfast is not a priority for Aldis, he said. But when he is training for a physical role, he consumes 6 to 10 eggs in the morning at breakfast. And along with these highly bioavailable protein-rich eggs, he also has a bowl full of oatmeal with blueberries.

For lunch, Aldis usually has two chicken breasts along with a handful of carrots, broccoli, and steamed white rice.

For dinner, Aldis eats bison. Praising it, Aldis said:

“Bison is nice. It’s lean, fantastic source of protein.”

Aldis also consumes supplements along with above cooked foods. He particularly prefers the protein supplement called Isopure. He revealed:

“It does the job. I don’t feel heavy. I don’t feel slow, sluggish, any of that.”

Thus, Aldis consumes a high protein diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. It gives him quick energy, provides for increase of muscle mass and repair of tissues and muscles torn during the intense workout sessions. He procures the protein from foods and supplements. The nuts provide him with omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins and minerals.
