Cristiano Ronaldo, in his 40s, is still strong thanks to a strict diet. He also does not drink carbonated drinks or alcohol, reports Daily Express.
What does Cristiano Ronaldo eat
Ronaldo eats six meals a day, which helps him maintain high energy levels and provides his body with all the necessary nutrients.
His diet is rich in protein, which is essential for muscle recovery after intense training. He also consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables, which are a source of vitamins and minerals.
His breakfast often includes low-fat yogurt, eggs, cheese, and ham. Lunch might consist of a fresh salad with chicken, and a typical later meal might be fish and vegetables.
One of Ronaldo's favorite meals is cod with onions, scrambled eggs, and thin potatoes, usually prepared by his personal chef. He also snacks on fruit and avocado toast between meals.

"A good workout should be accompanied by a good diet. I follow a high-protein diet with lots of whole-grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables, and I avoid sugary foods," he admitted.
When it comes to hydration, the athlete always consumes plenty of water and natural shakes filled with protein and vitamins. Nuts, olive oil, and avocados provide him with healthy fats.
