DUE to his passion for French toast, NFL superstar Travis Kelce has had delicious success.
Since joining the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, the tight end has had the custardy breakfast item for each pregame meal.
“On game day, you want to carb up, so I have the energy I need for the game,” he told Men’s Journal in 2020.
“French toast [gets] my blood sugar going [and gets] some carbs in.”
As a result of the process, 34-year-old Kelce became one of the greatest tight ends in league history and a three-time Super Bowl champion.
Last year, the Chiefs sports dietician Leslie Bonci told The U.S. Sun exactly why Kelce has stuck with the same pregame meal for over a decade.
“No. 1 a lot of players have superstitions about what it is that they eat before they play,” Bonci told us.
“If it’s something that they eat and they win, then, ‘OK, I’m going to eat that food because it helped me win.’
“Whether that’s true or not, we don’t always know but that’s the first thing – superstition.
“The second thing is foods that are familiar and comfortable.
“Football is not a comfortable sport – it’s a very uncomfortable sport.
“So you want to have something in your body that makes you feel good, it doesn’t upset your stomach, it sits well.
“And so French toast for him satisfies all that.”
Bonci went on to say that the morning treat had several nutritional advantages.
“So what is French toast? Well it’s toast, so that’s the carbohydrate… the fuel source for the muscles and also for the brain so you know what you need to do when you’re on the field,” she said.
“And the protein in the French toast with the egg and the milk gives you a little bit more longer lasting energies.
“French toast is also not something that rests that heavy on the gut so you don’t feel like you’re carrying around a cannonball or a football in your stomach when you are running up and down the field.”
According to Bonci, Kelce was not the only Chiefs player who was keen on breakfast before games.
Before on the pitch, she claimed, the Super Bowl victors go for familiar and cosy meals, frequently in tiny amounts.
“If you’ve never eaten sushi before, you’re not trying sushi before a game,” Bonci said.
“There are some players who like to have a more meaty meal before a game. Some guys like to have steak, or chicken and potatoes before a game.
“Usually the meal is three hours ahead of time, it’s not like half an hour before.
“There are some guys who really prefer breakfast-type foods even if it’s going to be a late afternoon game because that feels comfortable to them before they are on the field.”
After ten years with the Chiefs, Bonci informed The U.S. Sun of her decision to depart last year because of the difficult drive from her home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“It could be two full days of travel which is a little crazy.”
Bonci has described her role at the Chiefs as “an honor and privilege.”
