What Does Chris Pratt’s Body Transformation Looks Like?

It’s hard to believe that the same actor who portrayed Andy Dwyer transformed into the muscular Star-Lord. Chris Pratt packed on the pounds before hitting it big in the industry.

In an interview with Men’s Health, he revealed that he could eat up to 4 hamburgers a day back then. This habit took a toll on his health, making him a victim of various problems.

Famous as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation, he weighed around 300 pounds when he tried out for the Marvel role. Firstly, it wasn’t easy to get the role. Secondly, he was only given less than six months to get in shape. 

The star caused a stir in Hollywood by dropping a shirtless selfie on Instagram in 2013, flaunting his ripped physique and six-pack abs, captioning, “Six months no beer. #GOTG Kinda douchy to post this, but my brother made me.

The following year, he teamed up with personal trainer Duffy Gaver and nutritionist Phil Goglia, kicking off a 60-pound weight-loss journey.

What was Included in Chris Pratt’s Diet?

The Minnesota native opted for leafy green salads, sipped on protein shakes, and bid farewell to alcohol (a habit he loved). He added a lot of water to his diet and consumed 4,000 calories a day. The actor preferred unprocessed products, like:

  • Eggs, chicken, red meat, and fish for the proteins.
  • Bread, rice, sweet potato, oatmeal, and broccoli for the carbohydrates.
  • Walnuts, almonds, avocado, and coconut oil for the fats.

The actor gets it – transforming your body is in those little choices. You can munch on a burger and still hit the gym, or go for a salad, break a sweat, and still reach that fit and healthy goal.
