The Result
Majority of A: Neymar
Top sportsmen are under constant pressure from their coaches
and nutritionists to keep a healthy, balance diet. This was especially hard,
for Neymar who acknowledges: “I wish I could eat what I like, but we have
matches almost every weekend, we must eat a balanced diet, with protein, carbs,
and salads every single day. But doing what you love is the key to great
performance, and I love playing soccer.” Despite his devotion, when Neymar is
not competing or training for the next challenge, he switches the healthy
spinach and broccoli for a melting 4-cheese pizza . His sweet tooth is all
about gummy worms and chocolate. For a
quick pick-me-up, Neymar’s secret usually consists of a banana or some dried
mango to keep his energy level optimal.
Neymar has learned that a diet is rich in protein and
vitamins essential. That is why he prefers eggs, rice, beans and ham and his
best ally for iron is spinach. He also has a weakness for Spanish tapas,
spaghetti, hamburgers and string cheese along withother milk products. During
training periods, he follows a very healthy routine: Around 8:45am, breakfast
contains eggs, rice, beans and ham. At 2pm, lunch includes breast of chicken,
broccoli, brown rice. At 8pm, dinner is usually shrimp salad, boiled eggs and
piece of fruit or yoghurt.
Majority of B:
Cristiano Ronaldo
For Cristiano Ronaldo, it is very important to keep the same
time meals during the week, so he has coffee and cereal for breakfast every
morning at 7am. He likes Frosties because they are perfect to give him his much
needed sugar rush to get me through the early part of each day. Then he tends
to have a light lunch at 12pm with pasta, steamed vegetables and chicken or
fish. Dinner for Ronaldo starts at 8pm and consists of carbohydrates in the
form of rice or other grains and protein from meat or fish. He recognizes it is
not a very exciting daily plan, but for someone with his pursuit, it is
absolutely the right thing to eat.
Majority of C:
Maria Sarapova
Maria Sarapova has received a lot of nutritional advice as
to how to alter food types during particular training phases to help our bodies
to adapt. As long as her diet meets certain requirements such as guaranteeing
enough protein and carbohydrates to allow her body to fuel and recover, eating
doesn't have to be boring. For example, garlic and ginger and chilli all help
immunity during heavy phases and these can add flavour to almost any meal. The
tennis diva considers that “carbs are important for my sport, but it’s about
finding the right balance between them and protein." So in the morning,
she always start with fruit, then rye toast with goat cheese and a piece of
ham. When she is playing tournaments, she tries to minimize dairy as it is more
likely to create inflammation. Lunch for Sarapova is a protein-based meal with
chicken and then soup because as a good Russian, she loves soups. For dinner,
her best choice is fish, like salmon or sea bass accompanied with rice or
potatoes. Her favourite superfood is kiwi, especially after getting up to keep
her energetic and motivated in the morning. Maria Sarapova strongly believes a
good diet must be based on balance. So when the time comes to indulge, her
favourite foods are cake and milkshakes.
Majority of D:
For Singaporean swimmers like Joseph Schooling and Russell
Ong, the best way to keep energy levels is grazing on almonds and raisins
throughout the day. As top swimmers, they need to hit the floor running. That
means their breakfast from Monday to Friday becomes a pre-training meal
starting at 5am! They often eat unbuttered toast with raspberry jam. Once their
intense training is over, they get their energy back by munching on a cereal
bar, nuts and raisins or sometimes cereal topped with a banana. Lunch is
usually composed of grilled chicken, salad and fresh vegetables with rice or
pasta. A favourite of Schooling is prawn pasta with avocado and carrots. After
such an intense day, they recover with pasta and a salad or grilled sirloin
steak with baked potatoes and garden peas.Finally, when it comes to treats and indulgence,
Joseph Schooling and Russell Ong confesses to have a weakness for ice-cream!
Is your diet very different from these sport stars? Do you
think it would be difficult for you to follow their habits? If you are trying
to engage in a healthier style of life, you can use this example with very
useful tips.
