Determined to add strength and transform his physique, Roy Hibbert hired nutritionist Mike Roussell, who works with him on calorie intake and nutrient levels. Roussell creates personalized meal plans, which are fed into a software program to monitor what type of proteins, fats and carbohydrates Hibbert needs in his diet that day, based on whether he has a game.

"Roy is very time-consuming," said Roussell, who has a Ph.D. from Penn State. "He's the only athlete I go into this great of detail for. He's easily the most dedicated and committed.

"I'm constantly making adjustments to Roy's plan at least every two weeks. Increasing or decreasing his calories, changing levels of nutrients. I add or take away different supplements depending on the feedback we get based on his body weight, how he's feeling, how he's sleeping, how he's been performing and recovering."

The nutrition regimen combined with weight lifting sessions after every home game and on practice days when time permits have been a tremendous asset to Hibbert, who is averaging a career-high 30.2 minutes a game and will appear in his first All-Star game on Sunday.

"This is a lot more complex than what a lot of the guys on the team have," Hibbert said. "They just have a chef who makes whatever."
