We're making our way through our super popular superheroes, starting with Batman, Spider-Man and Wolverine so far and now we're bringing in Superman.
It's fun to see what these characters WOULD eat in real life if they were mere humans of our reality; especially based on their actual height and weight.
Awhile we started with our Anime Diet Plans, I've actually been having a lot of fun with our Superhero Diet Plans now as well.
And for anyone new here: have THOUSANDS of workouts consisting of anime characters, celebrities (workouts & diets), and superheroes within our Workouts Database, but now it's time to bring in superhero diets.
You guys have been asking for something like this for a LONG time, and I have now brainstormed some ways with our Plus Ultra members that we can make this fun, without confusing people into thinking it's effective to eat exactly like a superhero character. Instead, we'll be talking about how they WOULD eat in real life.
NOTE ON SUPERHERO DIET PLANS / "HOW WOULD THEY EAT" ARTICLES:
The reason why it took so long for me to be convinced to do "superhero diet plans" and articles like this one is because eating like a superhero character would be counterproductive and any way you swing it would do more harm than good for 99% of people by confusing the actual basis of what is needed to lose weight and gain muscle. That said: this is built around our SHJ 4-Tier Nutrition System and how each character WOULD eat in real life based on their stats and bonus information.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DIET & BREAKDOWN:
I have now launched The Superhero Diet, which revolves around our 4-Tier Nutrition System, as well as multiple Anime Cookbooks which allow you to pull fun recipes into your diet while still leveling up.
The basis of this Superman Diet Plan will be to discuss how Superman would eat based on his height and weight to do three things: Lose Fat, Maintain Weight and Gain Strength, and Gain Muscle Mass.
I'll be using the same calculators we use within our Plus Ultra membership to break down our 4-Tier Nutrition System - which is why you'll see multiple different levels for protein intake that we use with members as they scale up!
We'll also end with a fun section below that will discuss some things Superman has been seen eating, but I'll only name a couple so that you guys can comment below with more! 🙂
SUPERMAN HEIGHT, WEIGHT & STATS:
Stats We Will Be Using In Our Dietary Calculators:
Height: 6'3
Weight: 235 lbs.
Age: 20-40
**We'll use 30 to keep it relevant for us.**
Gender: Male
Activity Level: To make this relevant for us and stick to the "in real life" theme we're going for, I'm going to be using "moderate training level" for all characters.
Please keep in mind that the majority of characters have an absolutely INSANE activity level (like we see from some athletes) that would actually allow them to eat at some ridiculous level.
