Given his dedication to fitness, Tom Brady revealed his surprising Thanksgiving ritual.
The 46-year-old former quarterback adhered to an extremely strict diet throughout his storied career.
Even though Brady’s career is over, he’s still maintaining his physique.
But even the seven-time Super Bowl champion has chinks in his armor when it comes to eating Thanksgiving food.
He revealed this on his podcast last year when Oprah Winfrey asked him a question.
Oprah asked Brady what he was eating on the important holiday.
The former quarterback responded: “Just like everybody else, that’s my kind of meal, so what the hell.
“Let’s go for it. We’re all going to enjoy it.”
Brady adheres to a fitness regimen called the “TB12 Method” that has helped him stay at the top of his game and play in the NFL into his 40s.
I used to indulge in avocado ice cream and add electrolytes to my water.
The 46-year-old is enjoying his first Thanksgiving away from football in 23 years.
He spent his vacation under the tranquil blue skies of Miami.
Brady recently appeared on Stephen A. Smith’s podcast and blasted the quality of play in today’s NFL.
“I think there’s a lot of mediocrity in the NFL today,” he said.
“I don’t see the excellence that I saw in the past.
“I don’t think the coaching is as good as it used to be. I don’t think the development of young players is as good as it used to be.
“I don’t think the plans are as good as they once were.”
