Bryan Johnson's Blueprint Diet: What the 'Don't Die' Millionaire Eats
In short
- Johnson eats a fully vegan, measured-to-the-gram diet as part of Blueprint, his multi-million-dollar anti-aging protocol.
- Two signature meals: 'Super Veggie' (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, black lentils, hemp seeds) and 'Nutty Pudding' (macadamias, walnuts, berries, pea protein).
- His eating window runs roughly 6–11 am — then a ~19-hour fast every single day.
- The goal isn't performance or weight: it's measurable biological age reversal.
- It's not keto (lentils and berries keep carbs in), but it shares three pillars: zero junk, fixed meals, and long daily fasting.
The most measured diet on Earth
Bryan Johnson's Blueprint isn't a diet so much as a protocol: every gram is weighed, every marker tracked, at a reported cost of about $2 million a year. He personally eats fully vegan — organic vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds — built around repeatable, fixed meals rather than variety.
Super Veggie and Nutty Pudding
The two famous plates: 'Super Veggie' — broccoli (250 g), cauliflower, shiitake/maitake mushrooms, spinach, carrots, garlic, ginger, lime, apple-cider vinegar and 300 g of black lentils with hemp seeds — and 'Nutty Pudding' — macadamias, walnuts and berries, often with 30–60 g of pea protein. Same meals, nearly every day.
Done eating by 11 am
The schedule is as radical as the food: Johnson's eating window runs roughly 6 to 11 am, followed by a ~19-hour fast into the next morning. He eats his last meal before most people eat lunch — a time-restriction far stricter than typical intermittent fasting.
Blueprint vs keto
Blueprint is not keto — lentils, berries and vegetables keep carbohydrates in play, and the goal is longevity markers, not ketosis. But three pillars transfer cleanly: zero ultra-processed food, fixed repeatable meals, and a long daily fast. Where they part ways is philosophy: keto optimizes metabolism through fat-burning; Blueprint optimizes measured biomarkers through restriction and precision. Both agree on what to remove — sugar and junk.
Eat this way, keto-style
Not strictly keto — but the whole-food, high-protein core is exactly what keto is built on. Here's how to apply it:

Frequently asked questions
What does Bryan Johnson eat in a day?
A fully vegan, fixed menu: 'Super Veggie' (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, black lentils, hemp seeds) and 'Nutty Pudding' (macadamias, walnuts, berries, pea protein), with everything eaten between roughly 6 and 11 am.
Is Bryan Johnson's Blueprint diet keto?
No — lentils, berries and vegetables keep it well out of ketosis. It shares keto's zero-junk and fasting pillars, but its goal is longevity biomarkers, not fat-burning.
Does Bryan Johnson fast?
Yes — daily. His eating window ends around 11 am, giving him a fast of roughly 19 hours every day.
Is Bryan Johnson vegan?
He personally eats fully vegan — organic vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds — though the broader Blueprint protocol focuses on nutrient density rather than the vegan label itself.
