Andrew Tate Shares Meal Plan to Get His Physique: ‘1 Meal, 15 Cups of Coffee, 2-3 Cigars A Day & No Steroids’
Social media sensation Andrew Tate skyrocketed in popularity for his outspoken personality and views over the last two years. The former kickboxing world champion moved on from professional competition years ago but maintains a high level of personal fitness. In a recent interview on PBD Podcast, Tate shared his meal plans and denied ever taking steroids in his life.
British-American Andrew Tate first rose to prominence for his athletic abilities inside the ring as a professional kickboxer. He made a name for himself on the regional circuit in Britain before securing the British ISKA Full Contact Cruiserweight Championship, his first championship, in 2009. After narrowly missing out on the ISKA world title, he exacted revenge against Jean-Luc Benoit to win gold in a rematch in 2011. He won his second ISKA world title in another weight class two years later.
Tate boosted his popularity after joining the British reality show Big Brother in 2016. His straightforward views on pop culture turned him into a controversial figure. He later got removed from the show after a video of him allegedly hitting a woman with a belt went viral although the woman admitted the actions were consensual.
Andrew came under fire for his views on sexual harassment and assault and mental health problems. His masculine approach and promotion of traditional gender roles got him labeled a ‘misogynist.’ Although he’s been de-platformed and banned from social media a number of times, Tate became the most Googled person on the planet in mid-2022, ahead of the likes of Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian, and COVID-19.
Tate expanded his presence to the world of combat sports and entertainment with his collaborations with UFC superstars such as Sean O’Malley. He traded verbal jabs with internet sensation turned boxer Jake Paul with the possibility of a potential bout on the line.
In Aug. 2022, Andrew Tate fired shots at bodybuilders for not being a fighter and called them “p***y cowards.” He claimed bodybuilders only follow the sports because they’re unable to fight and want to look tougher with loads of muscle mass. He further bashed the sport for being ‘gay.’ Fitness influencer and IFBB Pro Greg Doucette pushed back on his criticism and urged him not to put down the athletes using stereotypes.
Given the incredibly shredded physique Tate boasts, there has been speculation about whether he used steroids or is on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). He looked even more jacked after getting out of prison on house arrest earlier this year. Tate vehemently denied allegations of taking gear in any form and expressed his willingness to take any test to prove he’s natty two months ago.

Tate believes in intermittent fasting and eats only once a day with most of his calories coming from meat. He consumes up to 15 cups of coffee and smokes two to three cigars a day. He also denied ever taking steroids of any kind in his life.
“Nicotine and caffeine are what I run on,” said Tate. “I have about 10-15 cups of coffee a day and two or three cigars a day and I only eat once a day. It’s funny because people look at my physique when I put pictures up and they’re like, what’s your meal plan. I’m like bro, cigars and coffee. I eat once a day. I eat dinner, only dinner. [Intermittent fasting] every day. 80 to 90 percent of my calories are meat.
“I’ll just have three streaks for dinner. I’m not sure if it’s genetics but that’s just how I feel best. If I smoke and drink coffee all the time I feel hungry which motivates me and I feel energetic, it’s energetic hunger, that’s how I like to feel. I want to be hungry. If I eat, I’m tired.”
Despite being a heavy cigar smoker, Tate doesn’t have any lung damage. He credited it to his lifestyle of training regularly.
“I have zero smoking damage on my lungs, zero. I was like, ‘zero?’ I’ll accept a little bit but I think it’s because I train every single day. I work out and train hard every single day. I think you burn it off. A couple cigars here and there are not a big deal.”
Andrew Tate revealed his testosterone levels are higher than the normal range.
“I had a blood test when I was in hospital for all these things and my testosterone level, I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on male hormones because I’m not, I don’t understand them or what measurement it’s in, but it’s between 9 and 27 is the testosterone level the mark can be between 9 and 27 the normal range. I’ve never taken a steroid in my life, don’t inject anything, don’t take any pills, nothing, and I was 32.
“I was above the normal scale and I’m 36 years old, supposed to be going down so whatever I’m doing I’m sticking to it.”
He followed his usual diet while in jail.
“I spent my commissary money on coffee and cigarettes and one meal a day, the same.”
Tate believes everyone has different dietary requirements and explained why he eats the way he does.
“I think there’s no perfect diet for everybody, it’s slightly different. You are what you eat to a degree and also depends on the mental model you want to operate under. If I wanted to operate under comfort, I wouldn’t eat the way I eat. I do it because I want to operate under a degree of irritability and high energy and hunger. I like feeling hungry. I don’t like being full.”
PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs) expert Derek of More Plates More Dates weighed in with his analysis of Tate’s ‘natty or not’ status last month. Derek believes Tate is a natty as he has not seen anything that would indicate hormone use.
Andrew Tate is currently under investigation by Romania’s DIICOT (Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism). Initially, he was being investigated for human trafficking but DIICOT adjusted the charges to “human trafficking in continued form” on Jun. 13. The case is expected to go to trial by the end of the month.

Derek MPMD on Andrew Tate’s Steroid Rumors: ‘Evidence Leans Toward Natural’
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate’s physique is making the rounds online as questions surrounding his alleged steroid use continue. In a recent YouTube video, PED expert Derek of More Plates More Dates dispelled a rumor spread by former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen and laid out why he believes Tate has a natural body.
Tate, known for his boisterous attitude, has quickly become one of the most influential figures on social media. ‘Cobra’ speaks his mind regardless of the repercussions which has seemingly boosted his popularity.
Romanian authorities arrested Andrew and his brother, Tristan Tate in Bucharest last December for suspected involvement in human sex trafficking. Following a number of attempts to be released from custody, the Tate brothers were freed and placed on house arrest on March 31, 2023. They claim to be innocent of all charges.
I am on precisely zero steroids or TRT of ANY KIND. NEVER HAVE BEEN. Never taken them in my life, ever.
I am a man who eats once a day and trains. THAT IS ALL. I swear this before GOD.
I will take and pass ANY TEST, try me.
Accept i am a genetic specimen of absolute…

With over 6.2 million followers on Twitter, Tate documented his time in jail and described the conditions as very poor. And while he admits he only ate one meal a day in accordance with Ramadan, the influencer exited his cell looking more ripped than when he entered the facility. In a public statement, Tate recently underlined that his physique was created naturally and said he’s never touched steroids or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in his life.
As discussions surrounding Tate’s physique heat up, PED expert Derek took a closer look at the 36-year-old’s natty or not status. He also addressed rumors made by Chael Sonnen and argued why he believes Tate is currently natural.
Derek More Plates More Dates Calls Out Chael Sonnen for Innacurate Andrew Tate Steroid Rumors
During Derek’s reaction video, he played a clip of Chael Sonnen, who suggested he can tell whether a physique is natural not just by looking at someone.
“We find ourselves in the midst of a controversy it seems. Andrew Tate versus More Plates More Dates, I was not expecting to see this title or this video or this thumbnail when I’m logging into my YouTube, it’s me laughing my ass off and Tate with Chael… apparently throwing me under the bus in another video on the same day where he absolutely shits on Andrew Huberman. This video is a hectic one dude.”
“Let’s stick to the one that has me in the title, me versus Andrew Tate,” added Derek.
Derek then advised Sonnen to come out with natty or not videos on The Rock, Chris Hemsworth, and Kumail Ali Nanjiani.
“Let’s see Chael, you can do [natty or not] on The Rock, Chris Hemsworth, and you can do… let’s pick hard one, and Kumail Ali Nanjiani – these guys are all arguably a little bit saucy saucy. You tell me, bro, exactly what are they doing, dosage, compound selection, would fuc**ng love to see that video, I’d watch it.”

What Chael Sonnen had to say:
“It does amaze me when Derek says, ‘I don’t know.’ Now, if you wanted to say I don’t know what it was, I don’t know if that was growth, I don’t know if that was anabolic, I don’t know if that was some peptides or if that was some SARMs. I do know, but I can understand if he does. But to just not know in general? It really does blow my mind,” Chael Sonnen shared.
“I did see Andrew’s response, where Andrew said, ‘Hey Derek, I appreciate you I know you’re an expert, and thanks for talking about me, I’m not an expert in that field but I am an expert in myself, and I know I didn’t take anything ever! That’s true. I’m not telling you what Derek said isn’t true because I didn’t hear it, but I will tell you with Tate, it’s true.”
According to Derek, Chael was trying to get a response from him.
“What a wild way to get — is this like the ultimate get a response video video? Because it’s like, you didn’t hear what I said, but are sort of implying that you know exactly what I said at the same time.”
Derek explained that he published a ‘natty or not’ video on Andrew Tate last year. Even though Tate provided two biomarkers, Derek shared that it wasn’t enough information to reliably say whether or not Tate uses PEDs.

“He provided two biomarkers, one of which was free testosterone [during Derek’s video on Andrew Tate] and there were no gonadotropins and he had a disproportionately high free testosterone and that kind of didn’t really help him. And the actual age and stuff on the thing, it looked weird. It was kind of an odd thing to publish as proof, which is kind of what I went over in the video.”
“I was basically saying there’s no way to prove you’re natural with this blood work, but my conclusion in the video, I did make a pretty conclusive one,” said Derek.
“I know he does eat kind of what he wants, he has like one meal a day, a shit ton of coffee, and great genetics, but how does that the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this [Chael], is he eats donuts sometimes [therefore he’s natural].”

Considering that Tate’s physique looked arguably better after prison than before, Derek can understand why fans are accusing him of potential steroid/TRT use.
“The reason people are bringing this up I think is because his physique now is arguably in some pictures looks as good or better than before he went to jail. This is a before and after,” added Derek. “He’s looking housey as fu** just standing there.”
“Looking beefy dude, looking lean, looking bigger than even when he was younger. The guy is in top shape seemingly. And how? Was he slipped some gear in jail or what happened? That’s what people want to know.”
Having followed the Tate brothers for years, Derek said he ‘never saw anything that was indicative of hormone use.’ With that in mind, Derek doesn’t believe Tate is taking gear.
“I’ve seen their progress over time. I haven’t seen any sort of fluctuations [with their physiques] really, I never saw anything that was indicative of hormone use, and my best guess at the time of this video and still is, is that the guy is indeed natural. For Chael to be like, ‘It’s kind of wild for Derek to say he doesn’t know,’ I feel like it would have taken you two fuc**ng seconds to watch the video dude.”
“There’s some level of scrutiny whereby the evidence is leaning more toward natural than not, take from that what you will I guess,” said Derek. “Would it be possible to prove with absolute certainty that anyone is natural versus enhanced? No, not really. But you can get some pretty fuc**ng substantial evidence almost to the point it’s essentially irrefutable.”
PED expert Derek has become famous in the fitness sector for busting natty or not myths. Last year, he leaked private emails detailing a steroid cycle sent from Liver King (real name Brian Johnson). Following Derek’s revelation, Liver King later apologized for lying about his gear use and now claims to be steroid-free.
In one of his latest endeavors, Andrew Tate took aim at bodybuilders by suggesting they are all ‘pussys afraid of combat sports,’ which garnered reaction videos from Kenny KO and Greg Doucette.

Andrew Tate Trashes Bodybuilders: “Bodybuilders Are All P*****s”
Andrew Tate trashes bodybuilders in recent rant.
Controversial figure Andrew Tate recently took aim at bodybuilders claiming that they are all p*****s. Tate was hyper critical of those who pack muscles onto their frames, questioning their sexuality as well.
It looks like Andrew Tate can’t stop causing controversy. The former professional kickboxer was recently banned on all social media platforms for his misogynistic takes on women. His content was deemed harmful to women and as such got him ousted from all platforms.
Suffice it to say Andrew Tate has said many things to make a great deal of people upset. Now it appears he’s taking aim at a new target.
Bodybuilders.
Andrew Tate recently gave his opinion on bodybuilders and he didn’t mince words. From the sounds of things, Tate has absolutely no respect for bodybuilders whatsoever.
“Bodybuilders are all p***ies,” said Andrew Tate. “The reason why bodybuilders are losers is because they don’t want to be bodybuilders. Every bodybuilder I’ve ever met wants to be a fighter but they haven’t got the balls to be a fighter. So instead, they think, ‘I want to look as mean as possible,’ and they end up bodybuilding.”
So it seems that Andrew Tate doesn’t have too high of an opinion of bodybuilders. Tate would go on to claim that bodybuilders are essentially cowards.
“Bodybuilders are obviously afraid of fighting, but they’ve decided to put all their time and effort and energy in the gym because to try to make sure no one ever starts to fight them because they are absolute p***ies.”
Greg Doucette Responds
One person who hasn’t taken too kindly to these harsh words is none other than Greg Doucette. The opinionated YouTuber had a few choice observations about Andrew Tate and his recent statements.
“I don’t understand this guy. Why does this guy continually need to call out and put down bodybuilders. What have we ever done to him? Last video was bodybuilders are losers, p***s, and cowards. They apparently all want to fight. Now, bodybuilders — they’re gay. And so not only is it gay, it’s super gay. And why? Because it’s a beauty pageant. How is that gay?
“So, to be gay, you need to have a sexual attraction for someone of the same sex. So, is it possible that you can admire someone of the same sex and not have a sexual attraction to that person — of course it is.
“You can respect the work and dedication that was put into achieving a physique. One that you admire, one that you think looks amazing, and still have no sexual desire or wanting to have sexy time with that individual. You can simply say, ‘you look good. I wished I looked like that. I would also like to have a physique like the one you possess.’”
