Travis Kelce is making some changes to his diet as he closes in on his 35th birthday.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is set to celebrate his birthday at his Kelce Car Jam event on Saturday, which will help raise money for his 87th and Running Foundation.
While girlfriend Taylor Swift won’t be in attendance as she gears up to perform her Eras Tour in Stockholm that evening, Kelce shed light on the changes he is making to his life as he gets older.
“Good thing they’re over there,” Travis said of the Neil’s Donuts that he and brother Jason were sent during the Wednesday episode of their ‘New Heights’ podcast.
“The yellow boxes are dangerous,” he added.
While Travis admitted he would love to eat them, he is at the point in the season that he has to “push it away” in order to stay in football shape.
“Just, I see that golden glazed doughnut just sitting in the yellow box, I’m just like, ‘I don’t need that today, I’ll get it tomorrow,’ knowing that they don’t have boxes of doughnuts every day,” Travis said of the pastries from LaMar’s Donuts in Kansas City, Mo.
“[I] just lie to myself so that I don’t just grab 10 doughnuts and run around the corner and just stuff my face like a little fat kid.”
Jason chimes in
Having retired from the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason chimed in on the sadness that comes when an athlete realizes they have to start watching what they eat.
“It’s a sad day when you’re in your NFL career and you realize you’ve hit that age where you can’t just eat whatever you want anymore,” Jason said, recalling that he would eat ice cream before games until his second to last season in the NFL.
“Then I got to year 12 and I ate some ice cream and I tried to play football the next day and I’m like, ‘Oh s**t. this is real,” he recalled.
Travis laughed and admitted that eating desserts makes him feel lethargic and added, “I just feel like a big blob. Am I bloated? Am I bloating?”
While Travis will continue to watch what he eats, that isn’t the case for Jason who stated: “I’m going to keep eating these Buffalo wild wings and doughnuts.”
