We all know the ‘fish and a rice cake’ dude.
But after almost 18 years already viral video, does he still have fish and rice cakes?
Aged just 17 at the time, Danny Andews’ life changed forever as the bodybuilder from Preston featured in an episode of a BBC Three documentary Baby Face Bodybuilders.
When asked about his diet, Danny famously replied: “At eight in the morning, I will eat fish and a rice cake.
“At two o’clock, I have fish. At four o’clock – before I train – I will have fish and a rice cake.”
The clip was turned into a meme and has been viewed millions of times.
“But that clip makes me look really thick,” Danny told LADbible.
“Which again, it’s really fun and people still get joy from it now, it still goes around in waves.

“So it will be quiet for a little while and then it will come out again. And then everywhere and then it will be quiet again.
“But I’ve been doing it for 17 years. So I think it’s part of such British culture.”
Now aged 34, the barbershop owner looks unrecognizable.
Adding many, many tattoos, Danny continued to lift heavily, and changed his entire approach to dieting.
He now undergoes an insane workout/diet routine in an attempt to take his health to the next level.
“I do 150 minutes of cardio a week. I do four weight sessions a week. And I prioritize protein but I have low carb,” she says.
“I eat every two to three hours.”

He doesn’t eat anymore it just is fish and rice cakes, sorry to say, because his focus remains on eating ‘whole, organic foods’ so he can have ‘a year round six pack’.
However, Danny did not put the rice cakes down for good and just announced the decision to launch his own rice cake business.
“I actually created it and tested it and made sure the macros were perfect because it was not only great tasting, but the macros were amazing on it,” he explained.
“So it’s good for bodybuilders and gaining muscle as well as keeping your calories low.
“So it’s really 17 years of marketing without even knowing it.”
Each packet of ‘Danny’s Protein Rice Cakes’ has two rice cakes and a total of 15g of protein, with just 2g of sugar.

“They’re also bigger than your average rice cake, and they’re £3.50 a pack of two and you can get them in packs of 10 for £30,” he added.
He started the business in Newcastle with Zack McGuirk, his friend and championship winning bodybuilder.
The products, made by Protein Queen, have all been tested, Danny said.
“So we met him and then we were doing taste tests, trying to create the most amount of protein in these little rice cakes,” he said.
“So we tried on top of the rice cake, we tried to encase in the rice cake. And then we had to get the macros right.
Danny says his goal is to ‘create the best rice cake in the world’.
