Have you seen Daniel Craig's famous swimsuit scene in Casino Royale. Well if you have, you would realize that he has instantly become the new male role model when it comes to a fit and toned body. Seven years before the most recent James Bond flick was Fight Club. In Fight Club, Brad Pitt set the standard for the ideal male physique. While Brad Pitt looked amazing in Fight Club, I would say that Daniel Craig may have set the new standard for men to shoot for. Daniel had a bit more muscle than Brad, but Brad was a bit more toned. Brad's Fight Club Workout most likely consisted of considerably more cardio than Daniel's. If I was to to teach someone to look like Brad, they would only spend 25% of their time on lifting and the rest on cardio. Daniel's workout was most likely a 50/50 split between cardio and lifting.



The James Bond Workout Eating Schedule

Daniel Craig is obviously more muscular than Brad Pitt was in Fight Club. Brad Pitt was on the Zone Diet before Fight Club to become the super-toned Tyler Durden (main character in the movie). When Daniel Craig was interviewed about his diet before Casino Royale, he said that he ate quite a bit of protein. So while Brad was eating about 30% of his daily caloric intake from protein, the new James Bond was most likely eating about 50% of his calories in protein.

To Be Like Bond, You Need to Eat More Calories Than Tyler Durden

Brad Pitt was absolutely ripped in Fight Club. Judging by the sharpness of his abs and facial definition, I would say that he was around a body fat percentage of 4-6%. Daniel Craig was most likely around 8% body fat for Casino Royale. James Bond has it easy compared to Tyler Durden! Daniel got to eat quite a bit more than Brad could in preparing for his movie role. While Daniel most likely ate the standard 6 meals a day, I doubt that Brad got away with more than 3-4 super low calorie meals. James Bond had a more sustainable and realistic body in Casino Royale.

Traditional Cardio for a James Bond Workout

High Intensity Interval Training is the quickest route to burning body fat, but not the only route. When Daniel Craig was interviewed, he mentioned that he did a moderate form of cardio for 30-45 minutes in preparing for his role in Casino Royale. In my opinion he would have had an easier time getting to 8% body fat with Interval Cardio, but in reality he did a moderate form of cardio instead. So the James Bond Workout used a more traditional form of cardio.
