49ers Nutritionist Details D-Linemen's Wild 5,000-Calorie Meal Plan

In order for the 49ers' dominant defensive line to stay at their optimal fitness level, they must maintain a rigorous meal plan and exercise routine.

Jordan Mazur, the Niners' Coordinator of Nutrition, shared what a typical lineman's day looks like from a food perspective if they were looking to gain weight. The plan includes an amazing 5,000 calories over the course of the day.

"The caloric needs can range from 3500 - 6000 calories per day," Mazur writes. "Based on individual needs and goals. The focus is always on lean protein sources, complex or simple carbohydrates, and healthy fats. It takes some fine tuning and there is an art to creating a plan based on needs but also personal food preferences, food allergies, and motivation."
