Everything Love Island's Jay eats in a day to maintain his physique

Love Island star Jay Younger may have entered the villa late, but he's more than made up for lost time.

Jay, 28, is an investment analyst from Edinburgh. But away from his job, he spends plenty of time in the gym.

The fitness buff immediately hit it off with Turkish soap star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and the two snuck up to the terrace for an illicit kiss, despite her being coupled up with Italian stallion Davide Sanclimenti. Ekin-Su later decided to recouple with Jay, before he dropped her in favour of Paige.

Outside of the villa, Jay often competes in extreme fitness competitions across the UK, the Mirror reports. To train for these events, Jay is a regular gym-goer at CaveFit Gym in Edinburgh.

As well as an intense workout schedule, Jay requires a serious diet plan to maintain his bulging biceps and rippling abs. According to his trainer, Blair Sangster, Jay is said to eat at least 4,500 calories each day to keep on top of his muscly physique.

Jay recently left Love Island viewers disgusted as he was caught drinking a glass full of raw eggs, which his trainer later confirmed was part of his routine. Speaking on Instagram, Blair said: "I can confirm the six raw eggs EVERY morning is true. Well, five egg whites and one whole egg."

His coach also said he eats about eight to ten Weetabix for breakfast, paired with protein powder, berries and full fat milk. Jay will eat lunches and dinners which often consist of salmon, rice, potatoes and a lot of vegetables.

Blair added: "He also loves a burger from a place called Bell’s Diner in Edinburgh. I’m pretty sure he went there every Saturday for about 12 weeks in a row."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub
