“A significant part of my diet are these oat pancakes that I eat,” Ulrich tells the New York Post. “They’re made of egg whites, oats, fat-free yogurt and a little Stevia. That’s my carbs.”
“I eat about 20 of them a day,” he adds. “I’m never more than six feet away from a pancake at any time! It’s the fuel to the drumming in Metallica.”
Metallica is planning to tour the U.S. extensively next year in support of their forthcoming album Hardwired…to Self-Destruct, so Ulrich will need plenty of pancakes.
Hardwired…to Self-Destruct will be released November 18.
