Travis Kelce’s Private Chef Unveils How Many Calories the Athlete Eats on Game Day
According to his personal chef, Travis Kelce has been closely monitoring his diet for years to ensure he plays at his peak on game day. In 2016, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs contacted an old friend in an effort to develop a diet plan that would improve his athletic ability. After deciding to work together on a diet plan, the chef, Kumar Ferguson, told Kansas City magazine that the two “haven’t looked back”.

When Swift started going to Chiefs games last autumn, there was much speculation about their relationship. Fans of Kelce and Swift have been keeping a careful eye on their outings together. In a TIME cover story, Swift said, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.” This is her first public statement regarding her blossoming romance. The singer of “Cruel Summer” went on, “The flipside of that is that you have to do a great deal of effort to ensure that nobody finds out that you’re dating someone. Furthermore, we’re just
