Inside Donald Trump's Reported McDonald's-Heavy Diet and Brief Workouts

President Donald Trump has described a daily routine that includes fast food, Diet Cokes, and very little exercise. Reports say his dinner often consists of two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, two Big Macs, and a chocolate milkshake, totaling about 2,430 calories. Trump has said his health is excellent and claimed he exercises for roughly one minute a day.

EXPANDED:

At 80, Trump reportedly starts with well-done steak at midday and an oversized McDonald’s dinner: two Filet-O-Fish, two Big Macs, and a chocolate shake. Reports also cite as many as a dozen Diet Cokes daily; the meal alone is said to contain 2,430 calories and 111 grams of fat. A 2024 campaign anecdote described fries, a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac waiting for him.

He has called his fitness excellent and joked that his workouts last about a minute at most. Federal guidelines cited by Mayo Clinic recommend 150 weekly minutes of moderate aerobic activity. Since returning to office, he has reportedly golfed 106 of 472 days, and an aide said he walks nine miles on course weekends, though Trump noted he sometimes uses a cart.
