No cheat days for Travis Kelce! Not during the NFL season!
During a new episode of the New Heights podcast on Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end talked to his brother Jason Kelce about a box of Neil’s Donuts they received. Sounds like an amazing gift, right? Well, Trav — who films remotely from his big bro — actually said he was glad the treats were nowhere near him at the time:
“Good thing they’re over there.”
Why? Trav does NOT want any temptation right now because he can’t eat sweets while trying to stay in shape for football!

When Jason, who did try one of the doughnuts, noted Neil’s could give LaMar’s Donuts in Kansas City a “run for their money,” Travis could not help but gush over how much he loves the treats from the KC establishment. However, the Grotesquerie actor is cutting out junk food, so no doughnuts to him — no matter how much he wants it! And right now, he has a trick to help him stick to that plan — lying to himself! Travis explained:
“The yellow boxes are dangerous. I love a good yellow box. I’m at that point in the season where I’m like, let me just push it away. Just, I see that golden glazed doughnut just sitting in the yellow box, I’m just like, ‘I don’t need that today, I’ll get it tomorrow,’ knowing that they don’t have boxes of doughnuts every day. [I] just lie to myself so that I don’t just grab 10 doughnuts and run around the corner and just stuff my face like a little fat kid.”
It sounds like sweets are Travis’ weakness! It must be tough then that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, loves to bake! We guess this means the pop star won’t make her homemade pop tarts for now — or at least not when her beau is around! LOLz! Jason went on to say how “sad” it is for an athlete when they realize they’re at the age where they need to watch their diet no matter how much they work out:
“It’s a sad day when you’re in your NFL career and you realize you’ve hit that age where you can’t just eat whatever you want anymore.”
The former Philadelphia Eagles center recalled he always ate ice cream the night before games but by his second-to-last season, that changed! His body no longer could handle it at that point:
“Then I got to year 12 and I ate some ice cream and I tried to play football the next day and I’m like, ‘Oh s**t. This is real.”
Oof. For his part, Travis figures he’s already there. He admitted that eating desserts makes him feel “lethargic,” adding:
“I just feel like a big blob. Am I bloated? Am I bloating?”
So don’t plan on seeing Trav having doughnuts, ice cream, or pop tarts before games throughout the season! Jason, though? He’s thoroughly enjoying retirement and can eat whatever he wants! Laughing, he rubbed salt in Trav’s wound — well, actually we guess he rubbed lemon pepper and powdered sugar in the wound because he boasted:
“I’m going to keep eating these Buffalo wild wings and doughnuts.”
Enjoy them for Travis this football season, Jason!! Watch the podcast episode (below):
