‘DWTS’ Contestant Danny Amendola Determined To Win After Making Finals

While on Dancing With the Stars, Amendola has been eating “steak, fruits [and] some pasta,” Rakofsky states, adding: “Definitely a protein shake a day. I usually tell him to try and eat his body weight in protein if possible and contrary to popular belief, protein doesn’t just come from chicken breast. I recommend the C4 Whey Protein in Hershey’s Milk Chocolate to Danny and tell him to use it in his morning smoothie.”

Staying hydrated and energized throughout intense rehearsals and competition days is an extremely important part of staying on top of his game, however, Rakofsky doesn’t recommend Gatorade or other drinks advertised to have electrolytes.
