Diet Details
Power Up
Lee hits the ground running with his breakfast. A typical first meal contains 5 eggs cooked in butter, 4 oz. of steak, kale chips, and chocolate almond milk sweetened with stevia.
Bring On the Meat
Lee eats meat throughout the day. He’ll have steak for breakfast, chicken for lunch and seafood or fish for dinner to get those all important anti-inflammatory omega-3s in.
Don’t Forget the Veg
Unlike a lot of teens, Lee doesn’t try to ditch out on vegetables. He even has them at breakfast. He also eats a lot of avocados, which are full of healthy fats.
No Sugar
Lee is so committed to the ketogenic diet, he did not eat sugar for 3 years, or any other type of junk food or fast food. The results speak for themselves.
Keto-Riffic
The keto diet uses fat rather than carbs for energy, provides stable fuel rather than a rollercoaster ride of energy which is common with high carb consumption. It can also help people lose weight, and reduce or eliminate chronic health issues such as diabetes and obesity.

Tristyn Lee’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
Always Active
Lee has been active his entire life, and showed promise from childhood as a talented athlete.
Least Favorite Exercise
Lee says he hates doing legs, but he loves the results, so he keeps at it. Even at 15, he could lift significantly more than his own weight.
Fasted Workouts
Lee usually does his first workout fasted, burning off even more fat from his already super lean physique.
Take Care
Lee injured himself and possibly suffered a partial biceps tendon tear due to overtraining.
Twice Daily Dose
Even while going to school full-time, Lee would get up at 5 am so he could get his first workout in. He has since switched to one workout per day, following a classic split routine of working one body part per day with Sundays off.
Cardio King
Lee is ripped thanks to weight training, but he considers cardio to be equally important for soccer and does some every day. He does one dedicated cardio workout each week.
Get Your Kicks
Lee practices soccer 3 times a week, in addition to his resistance training work, HIIT and cardio.
