His lunches and dinners aren&#8217;t any more adventurous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;I have chicken as my protein, with some greens and veggies. I always like color on the plate,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Carb-wise, I usually have sweet potatoes, cauliflower rice, or quinoa. During the season, when I need more carbs, I might have some white rice. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;Snacks in between lunch and dinner are usually unsalted almonds, a protein bar, and electrolytes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Towns said he has come to find enjoyment from his diet, and he occasionally changes it up at the suggestion of fianc\u00e9 Jordyn Woods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Not all athletes are the same.
