Here's the diet and workout routine LeBron James uses to stay in insane shape

Business Insider's US Editor-In-Chief, Alyson Shontell, sat down withLeBron James as he reveals what he eats on game days.Unlike the thousands of calories swimmer Michael Phelps eats to train, LeBron James sticks to a pretty healthy diet."Before competition for me would be like a chicken breast and maybe a little pasta. The carbs help because you're going out and playing a lot of minutes," James told Business Insider. "But a salad and some veggies will have me perfectly fine. And before the game I might have a protein shake and some fruit, and I'll be ready to go.But as far as pies or pizza and sandwiches and french fries ' I can't. I'll wait for that after the game. I can't do that before the game."As for his workout schedule, James says he works out about 5 days a week in the off-season and 7 days per week when basketball starts back up.James likes to mix up the way he exercises and throws in a few classes on top of traditional gym workouts."My workout regimen is pretty much five times a week, every day. And it varies," James told Business Insider. "Sometimes I stay at home and work out. Sometimes I'll go to an actual class. I've been to, like, VersaClimber classes, or spinning classes. I do pilates as well. So, it kind of varies depending on how I'm feeling."During the season, we're playing basketball every single day, and we're working on our bodies every day. So I don't get the opportunity to do the classes as much because we're doing a lot of traveling. But my workout regimen is pretty consistent then as well. It's mostly seven days a week during the season because we play games on the weekend."Follow BI Video: On TwitterJoin the conversation about this story
