Classic Physique bodybuilder Wesley Vissers is ready to enter a new growth phase, which means more food and desserts.
In early April 2025, Vissers gave an inside look at his “full day of cheating” in the US, taking his bulking plan to the extreme and racking up 11,294 calories in 24 hours.
How Vissers Got Here
Vissers suffered from food poisoning during his peak for the 2025 Arnold Classic. This left him seven kilograms lighter and dropped him to fifth place. However, he made up ground at the Detroit Pro, silver-medaling behind Matt Greggo.
Afterward, his coach Stefan Kienzl and his fiancée Marly Nooijen agreed Vissers needed a year-long break, giving him the perfect opportunity to dial in his nutrition and recovery.

Breakfast & Brunch — A Feast of Sweets
Vissers weighed 115.7 kilograms in the morning and took glucose disposal agents to minimize fat gain from all the sugar-packed treats. His first stop was Donutville, where he sampled the honey glaze, cream-filled, and Dutch crumb.
Later, for brunch, Vissers had cinnamon beignets, sliders on brioche buns, and French fries paired with two cups of coffee. Vissers and his film crew ordered a round of pancakes covered in cinnamon, apple crumbles, and banana Nutella to round out the carb-rich meal.
Lunch at the Turkish Village Restaurant
Dining in, Vissers and his fiancée ate two servings of balloon bread, a puffy hollow flatbread. They dipped it in tahini, hummus, and baba ganoush.
Short on daily protein, Vissers enjoyed deboned chicken, grilled vegetables, and golden rice to hit his macros, bringing his total calories closer to 11,000.
Dinner & Dessert at the Dairy Queen
This was Vissers’ first time trying fast food in America besides McDonald’s and In-N-Out Burger. He ate a cheeseburger and washed it with an Oreo Brownie Fudge Blizzard. He remained hungry after finishing this course, nodding to why these foods aren’t the best option for fat loss or improved body composition. (1)
It’s so easy to overeat on fast food. It’s cheap and convenient but has a lot of calories.

Vissers’ First Krispy Kreme Donut
After indulging, Vissers was eight kilograms heavier in the evening. This weight gain was likely due to food volume and water retention. The following day, after his fasted workout, he treated himself to a Krispy Kreme donut.
Nothing beats the regular glazed version.

Cheat meals are a part of Vissers’ nutrition plan, but they don’t detract from his goals. He’ll enter “full recovery mode” moving forward, meaning sticking with a balanced diet of golden rice, fruit, vegetables, and salmon.
