Former personal chef of global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed intriguing details about the eating habits that help fuel one of the greatest goal scorers in history, according to The Sun.
Chef Giorgio Barone explained that the Al-Nassr FC forward and Portugal international follows a highly disciplined diet, carefully avoiding certain foods that many people consume daily.
One of the most surprising revelations is that Ronaldo steers clear of milk, as Barone believes it is “not natural for humans,” adding that plant-based alternatives are a better option.
According to the chef, Ronaldo’s diet is built around clean, nutrient-dense foods. While carbohydrates are an important part of his nutrition, he avoids traditional sources like pasta, bread, and other refined flour products. Instead, he gets his carbs primarily from vegetables.
Barone described Ronaldo’s daily routine in detail. For breakfast, he typically eats avocado paired with eggs and coffee, completely cutting out sugar. “No sugar at all,” the chef emphasized.
Lunch usually consists of lean proteins such as chicken or fish, always accompanied by vegetables. If additional carbohydrates are needed, they come from those same vegetables rather than processed grains.
Dinner is kept light and simple, often featuring fish or lean cuts of meat served as fillets, again alongside vegetables. The focus remains on balance, digestion, and maintaining peak physical condition.
Despite being 41 years old, Ronaldo continues to perform at an elite level, scoring goals and maintaining exceptional fitness. His strict diet is only one part of the equation.
The legendary forward is also known for his relentless commitment to training, spending long hours in the gym to preserve his strength, speed, and endurance.
Together, this combination of disciplined nutrition and intense physical preparation helps explain how Ronaldo continues to defy age and perform like an athlete in his prime.
