Chris Bumstead is the reigning Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion and has won the competitions in 2019, 2020, and 2021 consecutively.

Cbum’s top three foods.
Bumstead answered the very hard question with three meals–Stir-fry, pancakes, and sandwiches.
Chris Bumstead smartly chose stir-fry as it has a lot of options under its umbrella. The bodybuilder said he could eat chicken and rice stir fry in “every meal of every day”. He would also love it if gets to experiment with different kinds of sauces with it.
Bumstead chose pancakes next and stated he could make a healthy version of them during the season. He could incorporate the bland and easy-to-digest recipe into his diet whenever he pleases. The bit unhealthy one with a lot of syrup is for the off-season. That way the calories remain adjusted and everyone stays happy, truly a win-win situation.

Third, he chose sandwiches, no one can go wrong with sandwiches. The reason he chose sandwiches, is he believes it would be great if tacos also get into the category. Sandwiches are Chris Bumstead’s favorite thing to eat in his off-season.
