Up next in 10
Ever wondered what one of the greatest footballers in the world eats to stay at the top of his game? We challenged one of our ambassadors to put Ronaldo’s diet and training plan to the test.
Reece Williamson, personal trainer and online coach, is never one to turn down a challenge. He’s done 10,000 calorie cheat days and committed to 30 days of 100 push-ups just for our entertainment. Now he’s seeing what it’s like to eat and train like Cristiano Ronaldo for a day. Sadly, minus the sports cars and million-dollar mansions.
Ronaldo is known for his incredible skills on the pitch and insane levels of fitness – so we thought it would be interesting to see how the star fuels his activities.
Want to see Reece take on another challenge? Let us know in the comments below.

0:04

0:06
you as you can see from the title what
0:09
i'm gonna do
0:10
is live a day in the life of cristiano
0:12
[Music]
0:14
ronaldo
0:18
so i play football since i was i think
0:20
it was five
0:21
i played professional i played semi
0:23
professional played with my brother
0:24
played with many teams even throughout
0:26
the years i was always watching what he
0:28
would be doing
0:29
trading style wise diet wise so this
0:32
video is interesting
0:33
also having a look at his calories he is
0:35
at 3 000
0:36
or around about 3 000 which i currently
0:39
am at
0:40
but his macros are different so ronaldo
0:42
eats a total of
0:43
six meals a day so six kind of small
0:45
meals a day
0:46
lean protein healthy fats and like fruit
0:49
and veg okay so the food choices it has
0:51
today
0:52
is slightly different from what i would
0:53
have so what i did was i went and got
0:56
stuff i didn't have last night from
0:58
tesco just taking a stop up
1:00
for today so yeah just sit back relax
1:03
and enjoy
1:05
okay so we are in the kitchen formula
1:07
one which will consist of
1:11
okay first thing will be a full pack of
1:14
ham so wait for them
1:17
sweet ham okay
1:20
low fat greek yogurt i think he says 200
1:23
ml
1:23
grams yeah
1:31
[Music]
1:36
meal 125 grams of mozzarella
1:40
and 125 grams of the cooked ham 200 to
1:43
250 grams of
1:45
low fat greek yogurt i don't know how he
1:47
eats us does he eat a lot of savage
1:48
let me try it
1:54
oh my gosh so salty
1:58
just make me pure some stick
2:06
the last bite it wasn't too bad i don't
2:08
know why you'd choose that but now we
2:10
have
2:11
greek yogurt doesn't really taste nice
2:15
honestly see if you have stuff like this
2:18
use
2:18
flavor drops
2:24
okay now it just tastes like caramel
2:26
yogurt which is unreal
2:29
okay to be honest with that meal was the
2:32
most random thing i've ever had in my
2:34
life
2:34
like i can feel it like chilled in my
2:36
stomach what i'm going to do is go down
2:38
to the football pitch and
2:40
because it's ronaldo he will have two
2:42
hours of football training so i'll get
2:44
some football training
2:45
so here we go okay what i'm gonna do now
2:48
is go down the pitch got to do some
2:50
sprint drills
2:51
shooting drills all this stuff run out
2:54
of wood
2:57
so people that's me down at the patch it
3:00
is
3:00
empty we are going to play some football
3:03
do you feel like i'm montage of the the
3:05
training session
3:06
now you're talking
3:07
[Music]
3:09
jeez
3:14
let's do it
3:20
[Music]
3:44
okay so that is the football done
3:47
actually i was buzzing i was buzzing off
3:48
that
3:49
it's good to get down and get the old
3:51
ball about what i'm gonna do now
3:53
is get back up the road quit washing
3:54
something to eat let's get to it
3:59
[Music]
4:02
peace delivers these bones
4:06
chicken and salad pretty basic
4:09
did you honestly
4:17
[Music]
4:25
okay last bite of this tasty meal
4:30
[Music]
4:35
okay i normally like chicken and salad
4:37
and a lot
4:38
but for some reason that was well
4:41
just tasteless i would normally have a
4:43
sauce with that maybe that's why but
4:45
he didn't mention anything about sauces
4:46
so hey ho gotta listen to a big man what
4:48
we're gonna do
4:49
is get our workout done in the house
4:52
probably gonna do
4:53
a more like a full body explosive
4:55
working on power
4:56
all that kind of stuff with the
4:58
equipment i have so the dumbbells and
4:59
bands so
5:00
we'll be quite creative so i'll see you
5:03
then
5:06
what we're going to do now is home
5:20
resistance bands so i'm going to like
5:22
incorporate
5:23
some resistance training to more
5:25
explosive stuff like
5:26
football because i used to do stuff like
5:28
that when i was playing football so i'm
5:29
gonna do a little bit of that now
5:40
[Music]
6:12
okay so that's a workout done just a
6:15
little bit different about you today
6:16
like i feel my core actually on fire
6:18
just now
6:18
so actually well before after today
6:21
doing football i'm not
6:22
quite buzzing i feel good feel refreshed
6:25
now i need one have meal
6:27
three i'll see you in there
6:34
[Music]
6:37
okay so the next move we have two eggs a
6:39
bunch of olives
6:41
tuna and a tomato like sorry but
6:44
what was he thinking
6:49
i can smell that by the way oh my god
6:52
very potent oh look at that
7:00
oh wow
7:02
i don't know what combination is better
7:05
but
7:07
but don't get me wrong there are good
7:09
fats in this
7:12
and good protein let's just
7:16
tank down these olives i think he's
7:19
honestly looked like a list of food and
7:20
he's like
7:21
hmm what are the smelliest top four
7:24
foods you can have
7:25
maybe not tomatoes yeah probably the
7:26
smelly foods you get
7:29
he's like what are you shoving a plate
7:30
until people eat it okay so that's
7:32
musically done so what i'm going to go
7:33
do
7:34
now is do about a client's check-ins
7:36
relax a bit need to go for an hour wash
7:38
i think i'm still sweaty after that
7:39
workout after that we're going to do is
7:41
come back down
7:42
meal 4 which we'll find out very very
7:45
shortly
7:46
okay so what i'm gonna have now is mew4
7:48
what as
7:49
what is which is toast and avocado plus
7:53
like a bunch of fruits so i've got mixed
7:55
mixed fruit in there
7:56
i've got that all prepared and i'm just
7:58
going to put the bread the toaster
8:00
and get my avocado ready
8:06
they're pretty perfect avocado
8:10
on toast so we've got it on white bread
8:12
it doesn't look
8:14
too appetizing it's just kind of
8:15
squashed on there massive portion of
8:18
[Music]
8:24
fruit
8:27
i'll add a little pepper sauce
8:31
i am craving something like this like a
8:34
wee bit of sweetness there's not a lot
8:35
of kind of sweetness today
8:38
okay last bit of fruit
8:44
that has filled me up with two more
8:45
meals left
8:48
okay mew five bassa phillips i couldn't
8:52
find
8:52
any swordfish so this will have to do
8:56
the basa fillets in the oven i just
8:59
cooked a lot and i'm gonna have that
9:00
with
9:01
kale but said salad i've actually ran
9:03
out of it lettuce
9:04
or tomatoes so i'm just gonna use my k
9:07
which i would normally have anyway
9:14
ice nice
9:23
okay i'll probably taste this thing i've
9:24
had today
9:26
which just says everything surprised
9:28
there's no no like carbs again
9:38
the last bite of the fish
9:43
much easier to eat than the rest of the
9:45
meals clean plate again
9:47
we have one more meal okay so the
9:50
last meal of the day first thing we have
9:54
calamari and the last thing is
9:57
the steak so mistake this is a good
10:00
pasta
10:00
i'm slapping it 227 grams for the full
10:05
thing
10:05
and it's 44 grams of protein which is
10:07
ideal
10:11
yeah i'm gonna add tiny bit of garlic
10:15
and cook this down
10:29
fun fact calamari is my favorite food
10:31
it's seriously i like it pink
10:33
i like it juicy is this
10:34
[Music]
10:38
that's buying
10:50
[Laughter]
10:53
so it is the end of the night so it's
10:56
about 10 o'clock just now
10:57
it was a good experience to be honest
10:58
with you engine towards his
11:00
style of foods so it's very clean high
11:03
fat like good fats and also high protein
11:06
i don't think i was meant to eat that
11:07
much protein
11:08
i might have done the calculation wrong
11:09
but i was over like
11:11
250 grams of protein which is a lot i
11:14
made the foods that he says
11:15
and that's the number it came to but
11:16
what i'll do is i'll put on the screen
11:17
all my macros
11:19
way different from what i was normally
11:21
used to so i might even look different
11:22
in the morning but
11:23
it's good to experiment with that the
11:24
footballs they are training actually
11:26
i enjoyed it like absolutely love
11:28
football and i played it for years so i
11:30
actually pretty exhausted
11:31
and it was a lot of cooking if you would
11:33
like to try ronaldo's diet for a day and
11:35
his
11:36
exercise definitely go up a shot but it
11:38
will not be easy
11:39
he's in that shape and he's like in that
11:41
condition fitness level
