The rocker has routinely posted images to his social pages, displaying things like calories burned and total hours trained. In one tweet, Sixx even explained his diet, noting that he eats &#8220;2,500 macro balanced calories a day.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One Crue member whose fitness has been intensely scrutinized over the years is Vince Neil.
