Mark Wahlberg is no stranger to strict rules when it comes to his health and fitness, and has regularly shared his diet and workout routines – which he commonly refers to as the “4 a.m. club” – with his fans.

The 54-year-old Play Dirty actor has consistently maintained his toned and enviable physique for many years. And just last month, when many of us were overindulging over the holidays, he reminded his Instagram followers that he does the opposite by sharing his healthy, high-protein breakfast.

Wahlberg has long been open about the discipline behind his physique, revealing that he has prioritized clean eating and working out since his early Hollywood days. The actor has credited things like intense early-morning workouts to high-protein breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for staying in such good shape well into his 50s. And we love how he didn’t gatekeep his breakfast!

What Does Mark Wahlberg Eat For Breakfast?

On December 20th, the Family Plan 2 star posted a video showing the breakfast he eats "every day" on Instagram to inspire his followers who may want to eat the same thing over the holidays – or indeed in January, when everyone gets back on the healthy eating wagon.

The Boogie Nights star captioned the video: "I eat the same breakfast every day but I feel better every day!"

In the video, he is wearing a grey T-shirt and shorts and is shown preparing his breakfast and saying: "It's 7 a.m., we are about to have breakfast. We got the hard-boiled eggs, the scrambled eggs with turkey, the salmon, the blueberries."

The Fear alum suggested that consistency is key in his life, at least as far as his breakfast is concerned, adding: "Same [expletive] every day." He then appears to give his personal chef, Lawrence Duran, a fist bump before the video cuts to him sitting at a table and eating the meal, adding: "Same old, same old. Every day."

Fan Comments

Fans were very impressed with what they saw in terms of his consistency, the protein levels, the presentation, and more, and didn't hesitate to let him know he inspired them in the comments.

"I love how consistent you are and hands on you are! Not sure they make grounded stars like you anymore," gushed one fan. "Consistency is always key to everything," echoed a second, as a third said: "Looks good."

"Why am I in love with this? I love a good breakfast before or after the gym," noted a fourth, as a fifth praised: "You are my idol Mark, keep it up."

"Good protein for the win!" exclaimed a sixth, followed by the heart-eyes and fire emojis, as a seventh added: "Looks fantastic. The presentation is perfectly executed." "You inspire me," wrote an eighth, followed by the heart-eyes emoji.
