He carried the ball 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns, averaging six yards per carry.
“He’s spent over $250,000 on what he calls body maintenance,” a FOX Sports sideline reporter said.
“I don’t eat fried foods, dairy, gluten or artificial sugar. During the season I don’t eat until 4 or 5 o’clock and I might have a banana or avocado before practice.”
This cost also includes the cost of a personal chef to prepare all of Henry’s meals.
His epic fitness regimen also includes cold therapy, infrared saunas, hyperbaric oxygen, and massage therapy.
During the offseason, Henry works out twice a day at the SandersFit Performance Center in Dallas.
He works out seven days a week, so there are no breaks.
His workout plan includes hill running, including up to 10 sprints up a 100-yard hill.
Henry uses 80-pound dumbbells to do hammer curls to strengthen his arms.
And to strengthen my legs, I do Bulgarian split squats with 120-pound dumbbells.

The first meal of the off-season is around 1 p.m. During the season, I don’t eat anything until 4 or 5 p.m. and eat again around 8 p.m.
When he eats, the amount is huge.
I also avoid fried foods, gluten, dairy, and artificial sugars.
“I think I’ll eat three chicken breasts, some rice, and some broccoli,” he said.
“Then I have gluten-free pancakes, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, home fries, and steak.”
He eats kale, avocado, or banana for energy before practice.
He also receives an IV drip containing vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and other nutrients three days a week.
Henry can definitely pay for these huge expenses to keep himself in top shape.
He recently signed a two-year contract worth $16 million with the Baltimore Ravens.
