NFL all-star, great dancer, and all around good guy J.J. Watt is a huge bacon lover.

The Houston Texan defensive end eats as many as 9,000 calories a day to keep himself in top shape. An ESPN analysis of Watt's diet estimates that he likely eats up to 50 slices of bacon in a day to keep up with his nutritional needs.

"It's literally, if I'm not working out, I eat the whole time I'm not working out," Watt told ESPN. "It's exhausting. You have to force feed. You have to force yourself to eat food."

Watt also told ESPN he loves brunch and recently "started crushing avocados."
