The Dutch bodybuilding star <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2025-arnold-classic-physique-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lost his top spot to Germany\u2019s Mike Sommerfeld<\/a> at the Arnold Classic in March. Instead of sticking to his old ways, Vissers changed up his whole year. He showed up at the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2025-detroit-pro-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 Detroit Pro<\/a> in late March, took second place against a tough roster of athletes, and then decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wesley-vissers-detroit-pro-skipping-2025-mr-olympia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skip competing until 2026<\/a>. Straight after the show, Wesley showed off an <strong>incredible 11,000-calorie cheat day to kick off the \u2018Growth Season\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right after the Detroit Pro, Vissers shook off the disappointment and jumped into action. With his coach and fianc\u00e9e cheering him on, he made a new plan. He traded lean cuts for a goal to get bigger and stronger. Taking 2025 off gives him time to eat smart, rest up, and fix any weak parts in his body, getting ready for a huge return next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/wesley-vissers-best-four-core-exercises-washboard-abs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wesley Vissers Shares Best Four Core Exercises for Washboard Abs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wesley Vissers\u2019 11,000 Calorie Cheat Day<br \/>\nBreakfast<\/p>\n<p>Wesley Vissers started off his day with a very versatile breakfast. He separated it into multiple parts, with the first one being a round of donuts from Donutville. He then made sure to try out a Cinnabon as a snack while on his way to the second part of his breakfast, where he had some french fries, slider buns, and more. That was not all, as Wesley also ordered some pancakes, adding a bunch of calories to his tally.<\/p>\n<p>            Get Fitter, <strong>Faster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.

No more staying in shape to look good with social media; we\u2019re going to be bodybuilders, and we need to get back to a healthy body percentage as quickly as possible with a healthy mindset as quickly as possible. The best way to do that is in America, enjoying all the incredible food they have here for the first time in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Round One<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Honey Glazed Donut<\/li>\n<li>Additional unspecified Chocolate Donut<\/li>\n<li>Buttercream-Filled Donut<\/li>\n<li>Dutch Crown Donut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Snack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Round Two<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cinnamon Beignets<\/li>\n<li>Slider Buns<\/li>\n<li>French Fries<\/li>\n<li>Second Cup of Coffee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cinnamon Glazed Pancakes<\/li>\n<li>Apple Crumble Pancakes<\/li>\n<li>Nutella Banana Pancakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lunch<\/p>\n<p>Having mainly consumed sweet food for his breakfast, Wesley Vissers was excited to get something more standard for his lunch. So, he made his way to the \u2018Turkish Village\u2019, ordering some bread and dip sauces as a starter. After cleaning out his plate, Wesley took on a more familiar bodybuilding lunch consisting of chicken, vegetables, and rice.<\/p>\n<p>With this meal, Wesley made sure to add some protein-rich items to his daily diet. He pointed out that this was not far off from what he eats regularly, but this time the portion size was significantly larger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starter<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Balloon bread<\/li>\n<li>Variety of dip sauces (including hummus, baba ganoush, tahini)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Main Course<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Half a Chicken<\/li>\n<li>Grilled Vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Golden Rice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dinner<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Wesley Vissers visited Dairy Queen for his final meal of the day. He ordered a cheeseburger and a brownie, which amounted to nearly 2,000 calories. However, even after consuming the meal, Wesley revealed that he was still capable of eating more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cheeseburger<\/li>\n<li>Oreo Fudge Brownie Blizzard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne lesson we have learned is that it\u2019s quite easy to eat 10,000 calories or more. I don\u2019t know the exact numbers\u2026 You know, an estimate but it\u2019s very close, but it\u2019s super easy to do because, you know, yes, I feel full now, but I could still eat if I wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>I felt fuller before going to Dairy Queen than after, and I ate almost 2,000 calories there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Weight Gain<\/p>\n<p>When he started off the day, Wesley Vissers weighed in at 116.7 kilograms (257.3 pounds), but he deducted 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) because he drank a lot of water before the camera started rolling. On the other hand, once he stepped on the scale later that night, his bodyweight came out to 123.7 kilograms (272.7 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>So, <strong>Wesley Vissers put on 8 kilograms (17.6 pounds) in a single day<\/strong>. He did point out that the majority of it is water weight, since he was competing a day before, meaning that he was absolutely peeled and dried out coming into the cheat day.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so easy to overeat on fast food, which is an important lesson for everybody: it\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s convenient, but it has a lot of calories. Mostly that third thing (calories) is very important to keep in mind\u2026 you can overdo it in calories because it\u2019s so cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wesley Vissers also went out to try out the Krispy Kreme donuts the next day, as he wanted to try out some more food. He enjoyed his meals but did reveal that he is looking forward to returning to his usual diet.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full video here:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/hany-rambod-critiques-wesley-vissers-physique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hany Rambod Critiques Wesley Vissers\u2019 Physique, Gives Exercise Recommendations and Tips<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wesley Vissers will not appear in the 2025 Olympia, as he has now shifted his focus in order to further develop his physique, which should help him achieve even greater results upon his return.
