Zion Williamson's Diet, Workouts Revealed Ahead of Pelicans' 2024-25 NBA Season

Zion Williamson has been taking his offseason preparations seriously, hoping to remain healthy for a full season and lead the New Orleans Pelicans to the postseason.

According to William Guillory of The Athletic, the star forward has been working with private chef Marvin Sanders, whose "responsibility is to whip up healthy meals so Williamson can reach his goal of entering training camp at 270 pounds. He's been listed at 284 pounds his entire career and has a clause in his contract that requires his combined weight and body fat percentage to be no higher than 295."

One of the breakfasts for Williamson and his traveling party was "scrambled eggs, grits, turkey bacon, breakfast potatoes with sauteed vegetables, salmon fried in avocado oil and smoothies made with strawberries and bananas," Guillory wrote.

Williamson has started his offseason workouts at 6 a.m every morning in the Little Elm, Texas, gym and concluded them with a 7 p.m. workout. The goal is simple—stay healthy and become one of the game's true superstars.

"I want to be one of them ones. I've been talking about it and I've been making mistakes (along the way)," he told Guillory. "That stuff can't happen. It's time to take every game personal."
