No one gets as fit as Bruce Lee was without paying at least some attention to what they eat, and seeing as he was pretty much the ultimate martial arts specimen, many people have attempted to reconstruct the specifics of his calorie intake. As such, there are many versions of the "Bruce Lee Diet" making rounds online.
According to Motley Health, Lee saw baked goods such as cakes as "empty calories," and tended to avoid refined flours as a result. He also stayed away from dairy, preferred Chinese food for its taste and balanced ingredients and, much like modern bodybuilders, ate several small meals a day. Insure 4 Sports also mentions that Lee's go-to drink was tea — either Lipton or a Chinese blend called Li-Cha, for those taking notes.
On the other hand, Bruce Lee Training explicitly mentions that Lee's diet allowed him to eat pretty much whatever, that he was a huge fan of protein, and that his portion sizes were sometimes so huge that when he went to restaurants he tended to have two plates.
