What Travis Kelce’s personal chef cooks to keep up with NFL star’s 4,000 calorie game day diet

Travis Kelce is eating well on game day. The Kansas City Chiefs star’s childhood friend and personal chef, Kumar Ferguson, revealed that the football star eats over 4,000 calories on practice and game days. The former truck driver — who prepares three daily meals for his star client — told Kansas City Magazine that Kelce, 34, eats oatmeal with fresh fruit for breakfast and seafood alfredo for dinner.

Ferguson — who began working as Kelce’s chef in 2016 — shared that he keeps the football player’s diet fresh by always looking for new inspiration and regularly studying and consuming food news. Because of his time driving trucks, Ferguson was exposed to many different types of cuisines, as well as the fact that he grew up with an African American father and an Indian mother.

Kelce, on the other hand, grew up with a father who loved to be on the grill.

The rigorous diet has worked well for the two time Super Bowl Champ, who has been killing it on the field. Although he mostly sticks to his diet, Kelce does indulge in a sweet treat from time to time — especially when it’s prepared by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Last month, retired NFL star Bernie Kosar revealed that the “Bad Blood” singer, also 34, baked cinnamon rolls for her beau, whom she went public with in September , before his big game against the Chicago Bears on Sept.

“I bake cinnamon rolls. They’re always my favorite, my go to,” the 71 year old told Us Weekly last month, explaining that she “can only do it a couple times a year” because it’s “so sugary.”.
