Cristiano Ronaldo's healthy lifestyle is making his team-mates nervous...
Cristiano Ronaldo is creating some uneasiness at Manchester United when it comes to them eating junk food...
Being a part of a team isn't always an easy task, as some people are not groomed to work with others and appreciate their independence. But when it comes to sports such as cricket and football, you are groomed from a young age to learn how to work with your team as you share a common 'goal'.
We hope you appreciated our play on words there...
On the real, though, it's not always an easy task, especially when you have different personalities to understand and work with. We guess that's what's happening in this case with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to English Premier League giants Manchester United.
As much as both fans and the team have been hyped up about the return of the prodigal son, it seems there is some tension amongst the team when it comes to their eating habits.
It seems that Cristiano Ronaldo's strict diet seems to be rubbing off on his team-mates as they are nervous to eat any junk food in front of him.
"Usually on a Friday night you've got a few cheat stuff out," Lee Grant, who is United's fourth choice keeper, told TalkSPORT. "You've got some apple crumble or you've got a bit of brownie and cream or what not.
"I tell you now, not one player touched the apple crumble and custard, not one player went up for that brownie because everybody was sat down and one of the lads said to me: 'What has Cristiano got on his plate?'"
Of course when they looked over at his plate, it was a healthy and clean plate of food. Eek, talk about feeling awkward... It reminds us of when we were kids and had to eat all our veggies. In fact, it is befitting our Bad Moms Club scenario which happens to be from our very own Carol Ofori.
Ronaldo eats up to six meals and takes five naps in a single "typical" day. "He is known to start his days with ham and cheese and a side of yogurt for breakfast, before brunching on avocado toast.
"He then typically eats two lunches and two dinners to fuel the rest of his day. Ronaldo's first lunch of chicken and salad is often followed by fish with salad, eggs, and olives. In the evening, he'll then either stick with fish - swordfish, tuna, or cod - or switches to some type of meat." (Business Insider)
Well, we know that he doesn't support fizzy drinks and he doesn't consume alcohol. But should that be something that the rest of the team feel forced into because of his beliefs? We don't think so. Come on, guys, stand up for yourselves, everyone is different, if we were all the same then life would be so boring.
