Kellan’s calorific signature dish

Kellan Lutz likes to cook a meal that is "a shockwave to your heart".

The 29-year-old actor is renowned for his hulking physique, but that doesn't mean he totally bans calorific food from the menu. In fact, one of his signature dishes is completely unhealthy - but it remains his favourite.

"I cook a mean steak, but one of my favourite things I like to share with my friends is my mother's casserole," he told British magazine Heat. "She makes one called Dorito Casserole that is a shockwave to your heart because it's full of calories, but it's delicious."

When he eats out, Kellan often goes for a steak, citing one he had at a restaurant called Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills as the best he's ever tasted. When he munches on the meat he enjoys slathering it in chutney, adding that cheesy Doritos are another of his must haves.

Kellan had to pile on weight to star in Immortals, which was out in 2011, and it meant he was already beefy when he shot this year's release The Legend of Hercules. Although he is famed for his muscles, he doesn't find sticking to a strict diet that easy; especially as it usually means ditching treats.

"If you've ever been on a movie set, there's food all the time," he previously explained. "It's hard to stay healthy because I had milk chocolate bars three times a day, and I'd just eat the whole bar."
