Mark Cuban is known for his bold business moves. But his go-to lunch \u2014 which he says helps boost protein and supports his strategy for living long<\/a> \u2014 might be his most surprising choice yet.<\/p>\n

The billionaire entrepreneur shared what he called a “disgusting” but effective meal during a recent appearance on Robin Arz\u00f3n’s “Project Swagger” podcast at South by Southwest earlier this month.<\/p>\n

“I know this is going to sound so gross \u2026 and it is disgusting,” Cuban, 67, admitted in the interview.<\/p>\n

The meal,<\/a> he said, even sends his 16-year-old son fleeing the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The longtime “Shark Tank” investor<\/a> said that, when making lunch at home, he fills egg white wraps with canned baby clams and tops them with honey.<\/p>\n

The Texas-based father of three said he’s shifted from a vegetarian<\/a> to a pescatarian diet to boost his iron levels \u2014 and said the unusual combination is all about efficiency and nutrition.<\/p>\n

Cuban said the egg white wraps contain about 50 calories and 11 grams of protein.<\/p>\n

A serving of baby clams,<\/a> meanwhile, adds roughly 80 calories and 14 grams of protein, plus iron.<\/p>\n

The honey, he said, makes the meal more palatable and provides a quick source of carbohydrates for energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also drizzles honey on his go-to breakfast,<\/a> which is a simple bowl of cornflakes, he told Arz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Cuban has a simple rule he applies to his meals, he added.<\/p>\n

“My kids are 16, 19 and 22, and their whole lives growing up, I used to tell them the food rule,”<\/a> he said, laughing. “If you like one thing, and you like another thing, and you put them together, you’re going to like it a lot more.”<\/p>\n

A shocked Arz\u00f3n responded, “I’m not sure many of us are convinced.”<\/p>\n

Online users agreed. “I’m tempted to try the clam thing even [though] it sounds terrible,” one woman said in a YouTube comment following a video of the interview.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another suggested that Cuban try the clams the Italian way, with pasta, olive oil, garlic and lemon.<\/p>\n

The bizarre lunch,<\/a> however, apparently fits with Cuban’s broader longevity philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the interview, he said aging has forced him to get more precise about how food, workouts and supplements affect his body, and he specifically described the wrap as a post-workout protein boost.<\/p>\n

While Cuban’s combination may sound strange, it’s not entirely off-base, a nutrition expert<\/a> told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Is it disgusting? Yes. Is there anything nutritionally wrong with it? No,” said Robin DeCicco, a New York-based certified holistic nutritionist. “He’s right. Canned shellfish like clams, mussels and oysters are some of the highest in absorbable iron and are also high in protein.”<\/p>\n

She also pointed out that the low-calorie, low-fat lean protein egg white wraps are a “solid choice.”<\/p>\n

But DeCicco noted there are a few caveats.<\/p>\n

“The one thing to watch with clams is sodium. If you’re eating them frequently, look for low-sodium or no-salt-added options,” she said.<\/p>\n

The honey also raised some eyebrows.<\/p>\n

“He’s using it as a carbohydrate source, but it’s more likely to spike blood sugar<\/a> compared to complex carbs,” DeCicco said.<\/p>\n

“You could use more nutrient-dense carbs like whole grains, fruit or starchy vegetables,”<\/a> she suggested.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest issue, according to DeCicco, is what’s missing from Cuban’s plate.<\/p>\n

“There’s not a single vegetable in this meal \u2014 or in his breakfast,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Vegetables are critical for fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals<\/a>, which are all linked to disease prevention, gut health and longevity.”<\/p>\n

DeCicco offered a simple fix to level up his “vile clamwich.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said that “if he’s going to eat this, at least add something like lettuce, tomato, sprouts or broccoli to get some fiber in.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Cuban’s team for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
