Soccer Star: Inside Cristiano Ronaldo's Diet Secrets!

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best soccer players not only today, but in history, a distinction he has achieved, in part, thanks to maintaining great discipline, which includes having healthy eating habits. 

That's why the Portuguese soccer player adheres to a strict diet, enabling him to maintain an impeccable physique and optimal condition to excel in his sport.

According to Men's Health o Esquire The diet of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player consists of a total of six balanced meals a day, i.e. one breakfast, two lunches, one snack and two dinners.

Cristiano gives priority to these six meals, mainly consisting of fish like tuna, cod, or swordfish, and chicken, for their high protein content.

Of course, fats are not accepted in CR7's food, and this is also one of Cristiano's priorities in terms of his diet: eating low-fat food.

Salads and vegetables form a crucial part of Cristiano's daily diet, accompanying protein-rich foods consistently throughout his meals.

Cristiano makes an effort to instill healthy eating habits in his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., who still finds it challenging. Cristiano mentioned, "Sometimes he drinks soft drinks and eats chips, even though he knows I don't like it."

Cristiano also makes sure to get plenty of sleep. He heads to bed early and wakes up early because he knows it keeps his muscles in top shape.

The diet that Cristiano Ronaldo maintains is something that was even revealed by Italian presenter Diletta Leotta, who jokingly assured in the past that she would rather go to dinner with Portuguese coach José Mourinho than with Cristiano Ronaldo, as he always maintains the same diet. "I would surely go with Mourinho because Ronaldo almost always eats chicken breast and salad," revealed Diletta.

Undoubtedly, Cristiano Ronaldo's dedication to maintaining a healthy and balanced diet has contributed to his exceptional performance throughout his career. His commitment has solidified his position as one of the greatest soccer players and high-performance athletes in history.
