FIFA 2022: What Goes Into Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's Diet

Ronaldo's breakfasts usually consist of ham, cheese, fruits and low-fat yoghurt. His primary focus is always on including lean protein. A perfect start to the day. And balancing it with fibre and whole grains. Eggs are his go-to breakfast staple. 

He consumes two lunches. The first is largely made up of chicken salad. The second one usually includes tuna, olives, and one serving of eggs and tomato. He enjoys his favourite swordfish with a side of salad for dinner. Sometimes, calamari or a steak is included in his evening meal.

Ronaldo doesn't restrict his meals to only three a day. He includes another three to four healthy snacks in between. For snacking, his preferences are usually fruits or toast with avocado spread. Ronaldo continues to eat regularly and incorporates six smaller meals daily to ensure he has adequate energy for his athletic training.

The famous footballer enjoys fish, particularly tuna, sea bass, swordfish, and sea bream. But it has to be fresh; frozen food is a big no.  Bacalhau à Brás is one of his favourite foods. It's a traditional Portuguese dish made with shredded salty cod or bacalhau, onions, and finely chopped fried potatoes and topped with scrambled eggs.

Ronaldo is famed for his clean eating habits. Anything processed and sugary dishes never reach his plate. Likewise, he abstains from any kind of alcohol and aerated beverages. The only drink he keeps sipping is water, and he ensures to stay hydrated throughout the day.
