WWE star Finn Balor has revealed how many cheat meals he has, opening up about changes to his nutrition plans over the years.
CW: This article covers topics of dietary restriction and body image.
With Balor having a super-shredded physique all year round, the former Universal Champion has revealed how often he takes a break from eating clean.
Speaking on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon, Balor stated that he tries to have at least one cheat meal every two weeks, but ends up having one every week, most of the time.
Noting that he has been exploring more “delicious foods” with his wife, Balor said:
“I’ll be honest, I went a little too extreme from about 2010 to 2022. My wife has been a big influence in me exploring more delicious foods.
“Normally I try to have a cheat meal at least once every two weeks. Mostly, once a week I’ll get a cheeseburger or something. I have to go all in or it’s not a cheat. I need to feel like s**t afterwards.
I say 10-12 years of eating clean, but for example, if I went home to my mum’s and she has made a cheesecake, I’m not going to turn that down.

Finn Balor is currently feuding with the Judgment Day faction, after being kicked out of the group in March.
While Balor was able to defeat Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 42, and JD McDonagh on the April 20 Raw episode, McDonagh got the better of Balor on the May 4 edition of Raw.
With Balor attacking McDonagh during the May 11 episode, these two appear to be set to face off one more time.
While there is a Saturday Night’s Main Event special on May 23 in Fort Wayne, Indiana where this bout could take place, it would be cool to see Balor and McDonagh face off at Clash In Italy on May 31, with WWE’s return to Europe.
