JJ Watt’s breakfast consists of 10 eggs, pancakes and more

How do you become one of the most feared defenders in NFL history? Eggs — lots and lots of eggs.

For reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Years J.J. Watt, that’s at least part of it. In an interview with Jimmy Traina of FOX Sports this week, Watt revealed that he ate two breakfasts on Thursday. Here’s the rundown of what the Houston Texans star tossed down his gullet:

“First breakfast: five eggs, some hash browns, whole wheat pancakes, a banana, orange juice, water and an apple,” Watt told Traina. “Second breakfast: oatmeal, five eggs, wheat toast.”
