NFL fans are in shock after learning about the strange-but-true diet that Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf follows daily.

Not that DK Metcalf needs any advice on what to eat and not eat. He’s one of the most athletically gifted NFL players, blessed with a great combination of size, speed, and physicality.

On their official Instagram account, SportsCenter posted a series of unique diets and “food takes” from professional athletes.

They included the 26-year-old Metcalf, who claims that he only eats a single meal daily. According the Seahawks’ fan favorite, that meal consists of one coffee and three to four bags of candy every day:

Here’s how fans reacted to the stunning admission from Metcalf:

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Metcalf has been one of the NFL’s most explosive players since entering the NFL in 2019. He has hit the 50-catch and 900-yard marks in his first five seasons, surpassing the 1K receiving mark three times.

Through his first five seasons, DK Metcalf has racked up 372 receptions for 5,332 yards and 43 touchdowns. Metcalf has helped Seattle to three playoff appearances (2019, 2020 and 2022) and one NFC West division crown (2020).

DK Metcalf & Seahawks Look To Bounce Back After Tough 2023 Season

Expectations were a little higher for the Seahawks heading into 2023 after a surprise nine-win season and playoff berth in 2022, led by Comeback Player of the Year and quarterback Geno Smith.

But the Seahawks struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball, and it took a strong finish (3-1 over their final four games) just to finish above .500. The 9-8 record was not enough to qualify for the postseason, as the Green Bay Packers claimed the final wild card spot via tiebreaker.

Metcalf and the Seahawks will try to put the tough season behind them and return to the postseason when they open their season against the Denver Broncos in Week 1.
