Research indicates that Navy SEAL trainees consume an average of 151 grams of protein per day, which equates to approximately 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight. This significantly elevated protein intake is critical for repairing and building muscle tissue to keep up with the punishing physical demands of training and operations.

During Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, one study revealed trainees consumed a mean energy intake of 3,886 kcal/d, but this can soar much higher. The precise number of calories Navy Seals eat depends heavily on their specific training phase or operational demands, with periods of extreme exertion requiring significantly more energy.
