Mark Wahlberg pumps more iron than any good golfer I know, but the more important fitness lesson I've learned through playing a few rounds of golf with him is what he eats during a long day on the course.
"Nutrition is 85 percent of getting yourself in shape" says Wahlberg, who maintains the bodybuilder physique you'll see in his new movie "Pain & Gain" (opens today) by eating smart, as well as working out five mornings a week.
Sliced turkey and chicken breasts, veggie wraps, salads, almonds, cashews, pistachios and trail mix were among the tasty treats Wahlberg shared during our back-to-back 10-hour days of golf recently.
"Walking a course like this is definitely good for you," Wahlberg said as a guest for the day at spectacular L.A. (Country Club) North. "Walk when you play and pay attention to what you eat, and any golfer will see fitness benefits."
