Clint Trayhern, a 54-year-old British bodybuilding hopeful, is aiming to compete in the Natural Mr Universe for athletes who compete without performance-enhancing drugs. His unconventional diet includes 30 raw eggs and garlic every day, while a chilli helps him get "fired up" during a workout. He buys over 200 eggs a week when he is bulking, mostly taking out the yolk, which contains most of the fat and cholesterol. He also drinks liquid honey when training, which he believes helps him pump iron. To stay fit before a competition, he consumes up to 4,000 calories a day and goes to the gym four times a week. His daily intake is currently around 220g. Despite competing in over-50s Natural Physique Association competitions being open in terms of height and weight, he aims for 13 stone 10lbs for an event.
