Quinton Eriya Shares Near 3,500-Calorie Bulking Cheat Meal in 2023 Off-Season
Canadian bodybuilder Quinton Eriya emerged as a promising Men’s Open contender with a strong season in 2019. In a recent YouTube video, Eriya consumed a massive helping of about 3,500 calories. In addition, he mentioned that he implements cheat meals like this one five times per week in the 2023 off-season.
Quinton Eriya boasts a physique with impressive muscle mass, shape, and genetics along with a tight waist. He made his IFBB Pro debut at the 2019 Toronto Pro Supershow and finished fifth. He followed up with a sixth-place finish at the 2019 Vancouver Pro. In 2020, Eriya made his way to the New York Pro and took eighth in a competitive lineup.
Eriya left the fans stunned with a crazy aesthetic physique update in Nov. 2021. He turned in a strong performance at the Romania Muscle Fest Pro and placed fifth. He declared his ambitions to earn an invite to the 2022 Mr. Olympia competition with a win at the Toronto Pro Supershow. Ultimately, he narrowly missed out on the top prize to Joel Thomas and took silver in Canada.
Men’s Open standout Nick Walker joined forces with Eriya for a brutal back workout in Jan. 2022. Eriya revealed he enjoyed using high reps for every body part other than the chest while performing the training session with the former Arnold Classic winner.
Last year, Quinton Eriya displayed significant improvements to his physique at the 2022 Tampa Pro. He scored bronze behind former 212 Olympia champion Kamal Elgargni and winner Akim Williams. He was last seen in action at the 2022 Texas Pro, where he placed fifth. Following the event, Eriya received major praise from Mark Anthony and bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler. Cutler lauded the rising athlete as a potential Olympia title contender.

Quinton Eriya destroys nearly 3,500 cals in a cheat meal
In a recent YouTube video, Quinton Eriya devoured about 3,500 calories in a single cheat meal and says he consumes similar helpings five times a week on the days he works out.
“I have five cheat meals or free meals, whatever you wanna call them, I have five of them every week and they’re only on training days,” said Eriya. “So, normally I have it for my fifth meal. However, sometimes I swap it out just depending on what I have going on during the day.”
He ate the following items along with some ketchup:
2 hamburgers = 1,680 cals
Regular fries = 960 cals
Chocolate Oreo Milkshake = 670 cals
Total = 3,310 calories.
Quinton Eriya and Nick Walker collaborated for a grueling push-day workout a month ago. Walker joined the budding talent during his trip to Canada and smashed a challenging workout targeting the chest, delts, and triceps.
Eriya took to the stage with Walker in a guest-posing appearance at the 2023 Pure Muscle Championships last month. The duo delivered a memorable pose down with Down syndrome bodybuilder Kyle Landi. Based on Eriya’s latest offering, it appears he’s focused on making the most of the off-season as he eyes his ticket to the Mr. Olympia contest.

Hafthor Bjornsson Shares Cheat Day Meal That Includes Pizza, Burritos, and Ice Cream
Hafthor Bjornsson goes all out during his cheat days.
Hafthor Bjornsson is a strongman turned boxer who knows a thing or two about weight lifting and training. While a potential bout with Eddie Hall is still in the works, Bjornsson took a day off from his intense training and decided to share what a cheat day looks like.
Bjornsson posted a full video on his YouTube page going through a day where he is able to eat the foods of his choices. This increases his leptin levels and boosts his mindset to continue to work hard.

Hafthor Bjornsson recently accepted the offer sent over by Hall stating that the loser of the fight will donate $200,000 to the charity of the winner’s choice. Once he heard the news, Hall continued to up the wager. Hall has now said that the loser should pay $1 million to charity. Bjornsson has not responded to this offer just yet but he is still focused on preparing for the fight.
An exact date has not been confirmed just yet but it could take place in March of 2022. Hall was forced to withdraw from their originally scheduled fight due to an injury. This bout was set for September and Devon Larratt stepped in as a substitution. Now, there is even more hype around this potential meeting.
Bjornsson has clearly been dedicated to his diet since he has lost over 100 pounds since moving to boxing from strongman. It began with a massive breakfast at Grai Kotturinn, which is a restaurant close to Bjornsson’s gym. He ordered eggs, pancakes, bacon, toast, potatoes, and orange juice. This was the first of three meals for Bjornsson that day.
After a nap, the strongman turned boxer decided to go for a burrito and loaded it with all of the fixings. This includes double chicken, rice, beans, vegetables, and a flour tortilla. On the side, Bjornsson adds some chips and salsa.
The final meal is a big sandwich with beef, bacon, ham, cheese and fried onions. This was his final meal of the day but Bjornsson did indulge in a meat lovers pizza at the end of the day.
“Can’t do a cheat day without pizza.”
“You have to balance your life. You can’t just be a f***ing maniac every single day.”
Once he was ready to end his day, Bjornsson took down a pint of ice cream. This was the perfect way to finish a cheat day.
Throughout the video, Bjornsson was answering questions being offered by fans. He admitted that eating the same meals each day could get boring. This is imperative for Bjornsson while training. He figured out his diet and it has worked as he has made the transition into boxing.
It will be interesting to see what the final wager is for the bout between Bjornsson and Hall. There will have to be a date nailed down for the much-anticipated fight but it is likely to happen some time next year.
