"Jakob Chychrun has become well known for his eccentricities over the years, whether it be his supposed aversion to light bulbs, dislike of Tesla batteries, or unique "animal-based" diet. While he has seemingly toned some aspects of those things down, Chychrun is still catching some heat from his Caps teammates for the sometimes peculiar food he chooses to put into his body. According to recent, exclusive reporting from ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, Chychrun still regularly consumes raw animal hearts and livers."
""I always overhear [the players] giving him a hard time about all the unique practices that Chychy has," Caps head coach Spencer Carbery told Wyshynski. "He's always got his own personal stuff he's bringing on the bus. And I'm like, 'Man, that guy is dedicated to his body and his craft and is not going to leave any stone unturned.'""
"Chychrun's quirky dietary habits apparently date back to his teenage years, as his father, former NHL defenseman Jeff Chychrun, set him up with a trainer who put together his meal plans. The level of commitment to his health and putting on size as a young athlete led to some of the same teasing he gets from his NHL peers today."
Jakob Chychrun maintains a strict, personally curated animal-based diet that includes regularly consuming raw animal hearts and livers and bringing his own meals on the road. Teammates tease him for his unique practices, but the coaching staff recognizes his dedication to his body and craft and his unwillingness to leave any stone unturned. The dietary habits trace back to his teenage years when his father arranged training and meal plans to help him gain size. Chychrun has scaled back extreme bio-hacking behaviors while settling into Washington, D.C., after signing an eight-year, $72 million contract extension.
