The famous Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo admits that his

ideal figure is the result of a well-chosen diet

Daily diet

It turns out that the star has been on a strict diet for a long time.

"I even had to hire a personal chef who now accompanies me on trips to
take care of my proper nutrition"

Ronaldo says.

And even when meeting with friends, the football player does not allow
himself anything extra.

A glass of red wine and a piece of lean meat cooked on the grill - that's
what the meeting is limited to.

The main emphasis in the diet is on fish dishes.

Fatty acids contained in fish contribute to the growth of muscle mass and
increase endurance.

Ronaldo prefers three types of fish:

seabass;

swordfish;

bream

"I can eat only this fish with pleasure and in unlimited quantities"
- says the football player.

The diet does not prohibit the use of various vegetable casseroles. The
main thing is that they are light without adding sauces and meat.

The daily diet of a football player looks like this:

For breakfast, Ronaldo eats cereal from whole grains, supplementing it with
soft low-fat cheese and fruit.

For lunch, a football player eats a light salad and a few fruits, but
sometimes there are holidays when it is difficult to distinguish lunch from a
full meal, and here is a direct proof of that:

For lunch - a double portion of salad with a piece of meat or fish.

For dinner, Ronaldo prefers steamed vegetables with a piece of fish or

meat.

"It is very important that dinner is no later than 3-4 hours before bedtime"

- says the football player.

If during the day Ronaldo feels a little hungry, he drinks a glass of freshly
squeezed juice or eats some fruit.

The main taboos of the diet

"I already had a bitter experience, and I vividly remember how the love of
doughnuts, beer and fried meat added more than 20 kg to my weight. I
don't want to repeat my mistakes, so I choose the right way of life for
myself."

Ronaldo thinks.
Under no circumstances does Ronaldo allow himself the following foods:

fast food;

fried dishes;

beer.

It should be noted that it is very important for athletes that the fat layer does
not exceed 10% of the total body weight. Otherwise, the athlete loses
movement speed and creates an additional load on the heart and spine.
That is why Ronaldo's diet reduces the amount of fat as much as possible.

"I always try to stick to my diet, but sometimes I screw up, and then I have
to correct my mistakes, hoping that it won't happen again."

"You have to limit yourself in many ways, control the portions at each meal,
but the result is worth it"

Manchester United's Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo is a phenomenal

athlete. And although he is already 37 years old, but in terms of physical
fitness and endurance, this player can give a head start to many younger
football players.

Of course, Cristiano often goes to the gym and likes physical activity, but
he would not have achieved such results without a special diet and sleep
regime

By the way, today everyone can calculate the energy value of their food
thanks to the calorie calculator, which is very simple and convenient to use.
In this way, it is much more convenient to follow a diet, as well as simply
control the volume of food consumption.
Cristiano Ronaldo, first of all, gave up all junk food. There are no burgers or
sodas in his diet, although in his youth he sometimes sinned. Now the food
for the player is cooked mainly on the grill or baked, because this way the
most nutrients are preserved. P

the Portuguese now eats every two to four hours, but in small portions, as
this way the body digests food better. The famous football player's diet
consists of porridge with fruit and low-fat cheese, egg white, various fish,
vegetables, rice and meat.
