"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jason Pierre-Paul, better known as JPP to his fans, may be a man of many sacks, but the 25-year-old Giants defensive end is a player of few words. \u201CSimple, very healthy,\u201D is how JPP succinctly describes his diet\u2014and the Super Bowl XLVI champion has not strayed from that pithy description since he has been in training camp and ramping up his workouts on and off the field. \u201CI don\u2019t eat badly,\u201D says the two-time Pro Bowler. \u201CI don\u2019t have any bad foods.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, steal a glance at the massive all-you-can-eat buffet in Big Blue\u2019s cafeteria, and you\u2019ll realize JPP\u2019s regular rotation of chicken salad and baked salmon amounts to a major feat of dietary discipline. \u201CI don\u2019t eat dessert,\u201D says the 6-5, 275-pound Pierre-Paul. \u201CI eat healthier than my teammates.\u201D And while the former South Florida star, drafted by the Giants as the 15th overall pick in 2010, admits he will occasionally order a pepperoni pizza to his hotel room, for the most part, JPP says he\u2019s eating for success this season, especially after undergoing back surgery last year that left him logging just two sacks in his 11 games. \u201CI feel great,\u201D he says of his time at camp. \u201CI\u2019ve been getting after it. And the stuff I eat makes me a better player.\u201D Bring on the low-fat ranch dressing!\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B&lt;strong&gt;Chicken salad: &lt;/strong&gt;JPP\u2019s go-to meal in camp is a big lettuce salad topped with grilled chicken, onions, croutons, and Caesar dressing\u2014hardly what you\u2019d expect to find a burly defensive end eating after hours in the weight room and on the field. \u201CIt\u2019s simple, and it doesn\u2019t make me feel heavy,\u201D says the Florida native. \u201CI eat it twice a day, for lunch and dinner. It\u2019s perfect for a meal.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B&lt;strong&gt;Salmon:&lt;/strong&gt; When JPP doesn\u2019t feel like salad, he says he opts for salmon in the cafeteria. \u201CI like the flavor,\u201D says the 2011 All-Pro pick. \u201CI don\u2019t really know how it affects my performance.\u201D At the facility, JPP says he eats only baked fish, never fried. But otherwise, he's not picky about his seafood. \u201CWhatever they serve me, that\u2019s how I eat it,\u201D he says.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ranch dressing&lt;/strong&gt;: Does your food ever taste a little bland? If so, do what JPP does and drown it in some ranch dressing, which is what he pours over salad, chicken, green beans, and, as he puts it, \u201Cbasically, everything.\u201D Does he ever worry about all that dietary fat he\u2019s getting from the creamy dressing? \u201CIt\u2019s low-fat ranch,\u201D JPP explains. \u201CPlus, we run it off in practice.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B&lt;strong&gt;Pepperoni pizza:&lt;/strong&gt; No 275-pound player could survive on salad, salmon, and low-fat ranch alone. That\u2019s why JPP occasionally dials up a pepperoni pizza from a nearby Domino\u2019s or Pizza Hut and has the pie delivered to his hotel room, where he stays during camp. \u201CI order it about 8:30 at night after we get back from the facility,\u201D he says. \u201CBut I only do it sometimes.\u201D Why pepperoni pizza? \u201CI lose weight every day in camp, and this helps fill me up a little bit and helps me not lose weight.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eggs:&lt;/strong&gt; JPP is a big fan of working hard in the weight room, but he is less enthusiastic about the protein shakes and bars that often follow lifting sessions at the Giants\u2019 East Rutherford, N.J., facility. \u201CSome guys use protein shakes, and they make their own. But I don\u2019t need that because my diet is already so high in protein,\u201D he says. To ensure that he gets enough of the muscle-building macronutrient, JPP says he starts each day with a plate of fried eggs, alongside oatmeal.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gatorade:&lt;/strong&gt; If JPP suffers from any dietary excess during his time at camp, it may be too much Gatorade. \u201CI drink about 10 eight-ounce bottles a day,\u201D he says. \u201CI know that\u2019s a lot, but I have to stay hydrated.\u201D What may help him guzzle back even more of the sugary sports drink is that his favorite flavor is Rain, Gatorade's lighter-tasting line.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
