Unusual diets in professional sports are a time-honored tradition, ranging from the conventional to outlandish.
However, Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges's food regimen is something else entirely. In a recent interview with GQ, Bridges casually revealed that he has eaten Chipotle every day since 2013.
"I eat this every day," Bridges said while holding a Chipotle bag, "and it's been about since... 2013? '14? So about 10 years?"
In that span—which encompasses more than a third of Bridges's life—the Philadelphia native has gone from high school to Villanova to the Phoenix Suns to the Nets.
“I have friends and family that [tease] me a little bit about it,” Bridges said. “It’s too fire to not have it every single time.”

The diet is clearly working for him in some form or fashion. Bridges has a pair of national championships, an All-Defensive team appearance, and four seasons tying for the league lead in games played to his name.
And what, precisely, does Bridges order from the fast-casual chain?
"I get white rice, no beans, double chicken, medium and mild salsa, corn and lettuce," he said.
