ADAM LALLANA has revealed he eats up to EIGHT meals a day.
The Liverpool midfielder has displayed an incredible appetite to win with his lung-busting efforts this season.
He often covers more ground than any of his team-mates and even managed to do so twice in 44 hours during the full-on festive fixture pile-up.

Despite having enough on his plate with Jurgen Klopp‘s notoriously intense training sessions at Melwood, Lallana still finds time to scoff himself silly on a daily basis.
And Lallana reckons that Mona Nemmer is Reds’ secret ingredient as Klopp cooks up a recipe for success.
The German joined the club from Bayern Munich in the summer and even serves up cooking lessons to the players.
Lallana told Liverpool’s official site: “She’s had a massive impact – and she’s great around the place as well. If you fancy something different, she has loads of different recipes for us to try.
"It’s her industry, she is a qualified nutritionist and a trained chef. She is absolutely brilliant and the quality of food has definitely, definitely gone up a couple of levels since the summer.
"Looking back to the two games in 44 hours at the turn of the year, we literally got into the dressing room after the City game and had a plate of pasta – probably the last thing in the world you wanted to do is eat because you had no appetite coming in after the game.
"Getting home, I ate another big plate of pasta and some meat.
