Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the great footballers in history, but he also stands out and remains at the top due to his privileged physique, on which he constantly works. What routine and what diet he implements. The Portuguese carries out his training with his club with high commitment, as he did throughout his career.

However, his fitness routine doesn't end there. At the gym, he does cardio, sit-ups, squats, planks, leg and shoulder extensions, Bulgarian lunge, and various impact exercises. Additionally, at certain times of the season he spends an hour a day in the pool to relax his muscles and gain air. On the other hand, on weekends he exercises on a stationary bike for several minutes.


The stars of Cristiano's protein diet are seafood (shrimp and octopus), lean meats, whole grains and salads. “I cook with coconut oil. It is also important to drink plenty of water, but purified. And drink a lot. Of course, everything is combined with hard training. But rest is as essential as training and nutrition, even in the afternoon. And eat early in the evening,” concluded the Italian chef.


So he began consuming an egg and supplements for breakfast, more supplements before training, others in the afternoon and before bed, in addition to grilled fish or meat and salad at each meal. In dialogue with Palmeiras Cast, he provided details of his diet and added: “The day after starting this diet, I was called for the game. He was warming up and the only thing he thought was: 'I'm going to die.' Five minutes into the game he could no longer continue running, he needed to be replaced.”

Menino tried Cristiano Ronaldo's diet


In the last decade and a half, the figure of Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the most preponderant in the world of football. And that is why it is logical that the stars of the future try to replicate some 'winning' formulas. This time, Gabriel Menino tried the Portuguese goalscorer's diet. The Palmeiras player alternated ownership in Abel Ferreira's team and decided to make a radical change.
