Tom Holland went from a skinny theater kid to one of Marvel’s leanest and most athletic superheroes. Since debuting as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, he’s added strength, muscle, and definition while keeping the agility needed for stunts. Here’s how his team helped him transform — and how you can do the same.

Tom Holland’s Simple Diet Strategy

Instead of counting every calorie, Tom used hand-portion tracking — a simple way to eat enough to gain muscle without apps or food scales.

Protein: about 2 palm-sized servings per meal
Carbs: 2 cupped hands per meal
Veggies: 2 fists per meal
Fats: 2 thumb-sized servings per meal
Meals: 3–4 times per day

It’s not as precise as strict tracking, but it’s much easier to follow. This kept Tom consistently eating enough to grow while staying lean.

How Tom Trained: Full-Body Circuits

Tom needed to build muscle, stay athletic, and train efficiently around his acting schedule. His coaches used functional circuit workouts — quick, full-body sessions that mix strength and conditioning.

Each workout included:

• A lower-body hinge (e.g., Romanian deadlift, kettlebell swing)

• A squat or lunge

• An upper-body push (e.g., dumbbell bench, push-ups)

• An upper-body pull (e.g., pull-ups, rows)

• Core stability (e.g., dead bug, Pallof press)

• A short conditioning finisher

These circuits take 45–60 minutes, making them ideal for staying lean and athletic without spending hours in the gym.

Be Realistic About Gains

Headlines saying Tom gained 14 pounds of pure muscle in six weeks are marketing hype. Real muscle gain takes months, not weeks. With consistent training and a calorie surplus, you can expect steady, noticeable changes in 6–12 months — not overnight transformation.
