Mark Wahlberg’s personal chef is helping him to put on the 30 pounds he needs to gain in a short period of time.

Lawrence Duran customized a 7,000 calorie meal plan for the “Ted” actor, who already gained 20 pounds in three weeks for his movie “Stu,” to help him get to the goal weight safely.

“We try to hit 7,000 calories a day, but it’s not easy for anyone to take in that much food even though we’re breaking it up into smaller meals,” Duran, who noted Wahlberg wants to gain 10 more pounds, told E! News.

“He’s eating about every three hours. We do good carbohydrates, dark green vegetables, and then, just switch up the protein throughout the day and, at least, a dozen eggs a day.”

Duran said 49-year-old Wahlberg’s “pre-breakfast” of four eggs is at 3 a.m. when he first wakes up and before his daily workout, and then he eats another eight eggs and six strips of bacon, one cup of rice, two tablespoons of olive oil and a protein shake after he gets in his exercise.

“It’s his protein-inspired mass weight-gainer to help build on a little more muscle as well,” Duran shared.

The “Deepwater Horizon” star then eats meals consisting of veal chops, pork chops, steak, fish and grains every three hours. Wahlberg ends his day with “a mash that consists of one cup of cooked steel-cut oatmeal, two tablespoons of applesauce, two tablespoons of jelly or jam, two tablespoons of almond butter and a tablespoon of molasses” right before bed.

“It’s just another mass gainer to put on weight during his sleep,” Duran explained.

Although the “Spenser Confidential” star is putting on such a large amount of weight in a short period of time, Duran is positive Wahlberg will lose it rapidly when it’s time to take it off.

“For him, he can drop it pretty quick. Within a few weeks you’ll probably see a drastic change,” Duran shared. “But he’s been doing this his whole life, whereas for the average person, it may take months on end. Not everyone’s body is the same and his meal plan may not work for you or I.”
