While a carton of eggs might be enough to feed a family for a week, they are no match for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's ravenous appetite.

The 50-year-old actor showed off his enormous post-workout "cheat meal" breakfast on Instagram, leaving his fans shocked.

The former professional wrestler enjoyed a plate packed with a dozen eggs scrambled, alongside five US-style biscuits, which are similar to scones in Australia.

The epic meal was then drizzled with generous lashings of syrup to finish it off.

"Sunday morning coming down" he said, as Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On played in the background.

"Cheat meal breakfast, also my post-workout meal.

"A dozen eggs, four whole and eight whites, insanely delicious homemade biscuits from 'chefputtie', drizzled with that honey magic.

"Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself. Enjoy your cheat meals, my friends."

With his hectic workout routine, it's no surprise that The Rock needs a huge breakfast to sustain his muscular 118kg, 196cm physique.

But the enormity of the meal still left his fans shocked.

"No thanks bro. That's too many biscuits," one commented. "But I know The Rock can handle it."

"Damn now I'm hungry!" another said while one person said, "That looks so good."

The LA-based star is known to love a good "cheat day" and often posts his drool-worthy mega meals to his 327 million Instagram followers.

After 150 days of eating clean, The Rock chowed down on one his most famous cheat meals, which included 21 brownies, 12 pancakes and four double dough pizzas.

Some of his other indulgent treat days includes downing five pints of ice cream, six large sushi platters and eight slices of french toast with apple pie.
