Laurence “Big Loz” Shahlaei Reveals 3,615-Calorie Diet Used During Amazing Physique Transformation

Laurence “Big Loz” Shahlaei has set a goal to lose 100 pounds.
Laurence Shahlaei, known as Big Loz, retired from strongman and this is when he began going through an incredible physique transformation. It begins with the new diet that he has been following that consists of 3,615 calories.
On Wednesday, Big Loz shares a video to YouTube showing what a full day of eating for him looks like in retirement. Obviously, this is a diet that is significantly cut down from his time eating to compete in strongman. Since his days competing, Big Loz has lost over 85 pounds and is adding more muscle definition. 
Below, you can find the full diet for the 2016 Europe’s Strongest Man champion. He details each meal, along with the calorie count for each.

Meal 1 – 604 calories
This is a meal that starts the day for Big Loz. It is kept simple and can be added to if he is feeing hungrier on a certain day. The amount of oats that is consumed is half the amount that Big Loz used to eat during his strongman days. 

100 grams oats
300 milliliters skim milk
Single scoop Whey protein
Banana or four squares sea salt dark chocolate — on certain days

Meal 2 – 598 calories
During meal two, Big Loz will often indulge in a Diet Coke. He is a believer in diet sodas because it allows him to avoid the drinks with many calories that do not add any nutritional value.

250 grams steak mince
165 grams Basmati rice
100 grams boiled peas

Meal 3 – 613 calories
Big Loz uses the eye test to add the amounts of each into this meal. When eating fruits and vegetables, this is his Paul method because of the low-calorie intake. This meal is about finding a balance between the healthy foods while still making them taste good.

100 grams Fusilli pasta
150 grams chicken
15 grams pesto

“I want my whole life to be well-balanced rather than it being about being absolutely shredded.”
Pre- & Post-Workout Meals
Big Loz still trains in the gym on a daily basis and keeps his meals around the gym simple as well. Before hitting cardio and weights, Shahlaei will make two bagels with 30 grams of jam. Following his workout, Big Loz makes a protein shake with Whey protein, which comes out to 91 calories. His pre-workout meal is 523 calories.
Meal 4 – 930 calories
Big Loz’s final meal of the day is his biggest one. It is the dinner that he eats five to six times per week before having four squares of dark chocolate as a late-night snack.

400 grams mashed sweet potatoes
227 grams sirloin steak
100 grams broccoli with salt and garlic, topped with mustard
