The entire diet was heavier to shape him up for Irving Rosenfeld. His goal was to gain 40 pounds through a high-calorie diet that included pizza, ice cream, and cheeseburgers. According to reports, Christian Bale consumed a lot of junk food, but he also ate lean protein and vegetables. He drank a lot of beer and admitted to eating a lot of pie as well.
