Cristiano Ronaldo and his diet continue to fascinate the world, as his former chef reveals the secrets of a strict discipline that keeps his extraordinary career going.

Always meticulous in his preparation, Cristiano Ronaldo keeps pushing the boundaries of athletic longevity. At 41, the Al-Nassr striker relies on flawless lifestyle habits to remain competitive at the highest level.

At the center of this discipline is a perfectly controlled diet. His former chef, Giorgio Barone, explains:

“His diet is balanced. He eats a bit of everything, but it’s always healthy. Avocado, coffee, and eggs without sugar for breakfast, then chicken, fish, and vegetables for lunch—no typical carbs like pasta or bread. In the evening, he chooses light dishes based on meat or fish with vegetables.”
