This was a short, full-colour, Luis Diaz dream (Liverpool football player) ...

I was stunned by the amount of dinner-plate-size burgers (just the large-pancake-sized meat, and not the bread/baps, which were not seen/present within the dream) the in no way visibly overweight Luis had picked up to rather enthusiastically/hungrily eat - so as i was picking one up from the floor that Luis had dropped in his rush/eagerness to put so many of them in his hands at once before moving away at pace, i said to him, something to the effect of, 'i guess you eat different amounts on different days dependent upon the type of training you do and the energy requirements/expenditure that such varied training demands' - with Luis replying with a simple 'no', mid rush...

What i was actually meaning was that i had presumed such energy/nutritional requirements would surely be scientifically/nutritionally determined (with such diets / food intake set out on paper, individually for each player to adhere to / follow), on a daily basis, by a fully trained/qualified specialist/nutritionist employed by the club - it was the shock of how much food Luis was consuming, together with his eagerness / seeming hunger, that really had an impact on me / took me by surprise (a wow/whoa moment) - although it was also accompanied by a dawning/emergent realisation that such high levels of regular/daily energy expenditure would indeed require large amounts of food, compared to what would be needed/required for people with a more sedentary / less energetic lifestyle...
