But what do pro athletes eat? Do they head up to Burger King and grab a Whopper when they're hungry like the rest of us?

Hardly. When it comes to eating, most professional athletes are just as regimented as they are with their workouts, mapping out their meals, calculating what and when they need to put into their bodies for optimal performance.

asap hooked up with Steve Hess, the strength and conditioning coach for the NBA's Denver Nuggets, and a bodybuilder to boot. He took us on a tour of a local grocery store and outlined how to eat like a pro in this video report.
