A-Rod: Former Slugger's Diet Secrets
7 Sep
Summary
- Rodriguez eats fewer calories now than during his baseball career.
- His pantry contains a surprising assortment of chips and snacks.
- He incorporates protein shakes and vitamins into his daily regimen.
Alex Rodriguez, a retired MLB legend, has revealed his current dietary habits, noting a significant reduction in calorie intake compared to his active playing years. During his 25-year career, Rodriguez consumed six meals daily, featuring substantial portions of steak, potatoes, and rice to fuel his rigorous schedule.
Presently, the 51-year-old businessman and broadcaster focuses on a varied diet with staples like water, eggs, lettuce, and fruits. He typically has three to four meals, often including a protein shake. His refrigerator also contains soda for guests, as he quit soft drinks five years ago.
Rodriguez admits to being a "chips expert," with his pantry stocked with favorites like Doritos, Cheetos, and cashews, humorously noting his "best work" happens around 2 a.m. He steers clear of liver but enjoys comfort foods reflecting his Dominican heritage, such as rice and beans, and plátanos maduros.
His current regimen includes healthy proteins, fruits, and ample water. He also supplements with vitamin C, a multivitamin, and magnesium for sleep. His favorite ballpark food remains a Dodger Dog, and his "A-Rod special" is an unusual peanut butter, jelly, and turkey sandwich.
