"We want to make sure he's getting enough carbohydrates so he has enough glycogen storage in his muscles to be able to perform.
"We gotta make sure he has enough fat so we can give him some of that good fat energy as well and then he has to have the right amount of protein so we keep him lean.
"When we do the water load, we like to have him have more muscle mass because water and muscle cell combine, water and fat don't combine.
"So I like to make sure that he's lean with muscle, got enough muscle so when the water load happens, it's doing the right things."

And if Triliegi fancies treating Paul , he serves up a sweet treat - all still healthy, of course.
He said: "Honestly, I'm not big on cheat meals but I will do a no-bake cheesecake, passion fruit cheesecake, things like that.
"But I use all healthy ingredients."
Paul's last fight was up at heavyweight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58.
And Triliegi said: "The last fight camp for Tyson we were having over 3,400 calories a day - maybe a little bit more.
"We were gaining weight, so it was a lot easier. Now with this, he came in camp light around 215, so the weight cut's been real easy, real simple."
Triliegi has to make sure Paul's calories are reduced as the fight edges closer and the weigh-in approaches.

Triliegi said: "I monitor everything, his sleep cycle, light, deep, in REM, his training, rest blocks.
"If everything is going smoothly, he can eat the food that he wants, he can eat when he wants.

"If you eat too late when you go to bed instead of resting, you're digesting so it's taking away from the purpose of sleep so we pretty much keep track of everything."
