Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal ; born March 6, 1972), known commonly as

"Shaq" (/Jæk/ SHAK), is an American former professional basketball player who is a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. O'Neal is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players and centers of all time.He is a 7-foot-1-inch (2.16 m) and 325-pound (147 kg) center who played for six teams over his 19-year career in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and is a four-time NBA champion.

These days, as a retired NBA player, Shaq's training routine is less intense, but still consistent. On an average week, he's usually in the gym four days for an hour per session.

"I do 20 minutes of cardio, I'll do some chest, bis, tris, sit-ups, back and then I'm gone," he told Men's Journal. "30-45 minutes a day, plus cardio - so about an hour a day. I still got the bad hips and the achy joints, so I can't be jumping and running around."

When it comes to his diet, Shaq's current daily meal plan looks drastically different to his pandemic nutrition. In a 2022 interview with GQ, the former Lakers player gave readers an example meal plan in his life.

"A healthy breakfast-fruit and fruit and fruit -then chicken and fish. I eat a healthy breakfast just to hold me for the day. Three turkey sausages and about four or five egg whites. Meal two is gonna be some fruit. Meal three is gonna be a shake and fruit. Meal four is probably gonna be a light salad and then meal five is gonna be chicken, fish, or steak."
