" Tim Tebow is scouring his\u00A0mini-fridge for everything he needs to make coffee. So far, nothing on the table looks like it belongs in a cup of java. There&amp;#039;s a stick of Kerrygold butter. A small green\u00A0vial with an eye dropper in it. Heavy organic whipping cream. &amp;quot;Oh, I love unsweetened almond milk, too,&amp;quot; he says, placing a quart on the table, next to a black Keurig.\u00A0 Now he&amp;#039;s ready. Fresh from co-hosting Saturday&amp;#039;s episode\u00A0of SEC Nation at Ole Miss in Oxford, MS\u2014where the Rebels were vying for a spot in the College Football Playoff\u00A0on New Year&amp;#039;s Eve on ESPN\u2014Tebow has\u00A0agreed to show us his secret recipe for bulletproof coffee\u00A0(his go-to drink to get pumped before a taping or serious\u00A0workout), while also\u00A0sharing the aww-inducing best meal\u00A0he&amp;#039;s ever had,\u00A0and breaking down\u00A0what it&amp;#039;s really like living on a ketogenic diet.\u00A0  He Takes His Coffee with a Smidge of Butter, Plus... Bulletproof coffee has become known as simply adding butter to coffee\u2014Dave Asprey, who&amp;#039;s credited for launching the trend, advocates using unsalted, grass-fed butter and &amp;#039;Brain Octane Oil&amp;#039;\u2014though Tebow&amp;#039;s recipe is a bit more involved. (Unlike Asprey, however, his ingredients listing doesn&amp;#039;t include anything that sounds like it&amp;#039;d be fought over in the next Avengers\u00A0movie.) He mixes half-regular, half-decaf coffee\u2014&amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want that much caffeine,&amp;quot; he says\u2014before stirring in &amp;quot;a tap of heavy organic whipping cream,&amp;quot; a sliver of butter, a little unsweetened almond milk, and two-to-three drops of liquid Stevia, English Toffee flavor. The end result is a bit unsettling at first, given that the coffee has an oily film on top, but the smooth drink tastes remarkably like a Toffee Nut Latte\u2014or, as Tebow describes it, &amp;quot;a little bit like a milkshake.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It really kickstarts your day,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fantastic.&amp;quot;  He Admits His Regular Diet Seems &amp;quot;Boring.&amp;quot; Tebow sticks to a ketogenic diet, which means eating a lot of healthy fats, moderate protein, very few carbs and hardly any sugar.\u00A0 &amp;quot;A lot of people would think that&amp;#039;s very boring, and sometimes it is, but you find ways to really spice it up,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I eat a lot of things that run, swim or fly; I eat a lot of greens, a lot of Greek yogurt, a lot of avocado.&amp;quot; More specifically, though, here&amp;#039;s what his typical food day looks like:   Breakfast: Eggs. &amp;quot;I have eggs in some form, whether it&amp;#039;s an omelette with spinach and ham and bacon and sausage all in there, or a scramble with avocado.&amp;quot;  Lunch and Dinner: Sparkling water\u2014specifically La Croix, if he can get his hands on a can\u2014and plain Greek yogurt are must-haves throughout the day. Beyond that, Tebow sticks to lean meats, like chicken, steak and salmon, often pairing them with asparagus, spinach or avocado. And guacamole: &amp;quot;Love it.&amp;quot;\u00A0  Nobody Cooks Like His Mom. &amp;quot;Mom&amp;#039;s food is the best; it&amp;#039;s not even close. I&amp;#039;ve had the privilege of eating at a lot of fancy, really nice restaurants, and they just don&amp;#039;t even compare,&amp;quot; Tebow says.\u00A0 Every year\u00A0for his birthday, his mom would make\u00A0ground beef or turkey tacos, which remain\u00A0his favorite food to this day. &amp;quot;Back when I wasn&amp;#039;t as cautious about what I ate, we&amp;#039;d take a soft-shell taco, mix it with cheese, then wrap it around the hard shell, and fill the hard shell with whatever you want. It was so good.&amp;quot; His mom also makes a killer Pizza Pie, which they\u00A0demo&amp;#039;ed in a segment on Good Morning America, and is exactly as it sounds: A pizza, made in pie form\u2014like deep dish taken to the next level.\u00A0  There Are Three Foods He Misses from the Philippines.\u00A0 Tebow, who was born in the Philippines and opened\u00A0the Tebow CURE Hospital\u00A0in Davao City\u00A0in 2014, has spent plenty of time in the country\u00A0over the years, and says there are three dishes there\u00A0that are unlike anything you&amp;#039;ll try anywhere else: Mangos\u2014&amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re unreal there. You can grab one anywhere, cut it in half, and it&amp;#039;s a crazy\u00A0meal,&amp;quot; he insists\u2014rambutans (a red, furry\u00A0fruit that&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;very hard to peel&amp;quot;), and Calamansi Juice, a citrus-y drink that some liken to lemonade. &amp;quot;[The juice is]\u00A0very sweet tasting, maybe a little bitter. It makes you go like this,&amp;quot; he says, puckering his lips\u00A0and closing his eyes. &amp;quot;It makes you squint a little bit, but it&amp;#039;s very sweet and good.&amp;quot;  He&amp;#039;s Not Into Counting Calories. &amp;quot;I usually eat until I&amp;#039;m full,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I mean, you don&amp;#039;t want to overdo it, but I think eating the right things is\u00A0more important than portion control. If I&amp;#039;m eating the right things, they&amp;#039;re going to fill me up with the right amount of fat and protein.&amp;quot;\u00A0 What Tebow&amp;#039;s more concerned about\u00A0is the amount of sugar found\u00A0in most foods\u2014something he became passionate about while serving on the Governor&amp;#039;s Council on Physical Fitness as a student at the University of Florida. &amp;quot;So many things are full of sugar,\u00A0carbohydrates\u00A0and\u00A0things that will spike our insulin, which causes people\u00A0to crash afterwards and store more fat,&amp;quot; he says.  He Has Zero Interest in Fat-Free Greek Yogurt. &amp;quot;The higher fat is always better, in my opinion, because a lot of times, when something&amp;#039;s lower in fat, they substitute it by adding\u00A0extra sugar,&amp;quot; Tebow explains. Plain, unsweetened Chobani is his go-to. He&amp;#039;s A Huge Fan of &amp;#039;Game Day Filets.&amp;#039; Tebow&amp;#039;s best friend makes some of the best steaks around, he says, and it all comes down to the marinade. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s\u2014let&amp;#039;s see if I can remember\u201450 percent Dale sauce, 40 percent zesty Italian dressing, 10 percent Worcestershire, and then, to kick it up another notch, a little black pepper\u2014I think it&amp;#039;s black pepper.&amp;quot; Sounds like a grilling recipe we&amp;#039;ll have to try at our next tailgate.
