The five-time Ballon d'Or winner continuously defies the odds and critics with his remarkable scoring record and much of that is down to his dedication on the training ground.

But his careful eating regime has also proved a massive factor in ensuring Ronaldo stays trimmed and injury-free.

Ronaldo must count the calories but his extraordinary amount of exercise means he doesn't need to hold back when it comes to meal time.

And he has revealed the type of food he eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfast is seen as one of the most important meals of the day for athletes and Ronaldo ensures he eats enough to provide him with enough energy to take him to lunchtime.

A typical breakfast would include a selection of ham and cheeses, croissants, toast with avocado, yoghurt and an array of fruits.

He'll wash it down with freshly squeezed fruit juices and coffee.

Ronaldo claimed one of the secrets to his success was to "eat regularly" and admitted he can "eat up to six small meals a day."

For lunch he'll easier devour a type of fish dish.

His favourite dish is believed to be called bacalhau a braz which is a plate complied of cod, onions, potatoes and scrambled eggs.

According to the Portuguese national team head chef, Ronaldo will also request swordfish and seabass.

Chef Lavrador told Le10Sport: "Ronaldo eats all sorts of dishes, as a responsible athlete he is, but the one he likes the most is fish like gilt-head bream, swordfish and sea bass."

Ronaldo told FourFourTwo that protein is key to his diet while avoiding the likes of sugary sodas and processed food.

He said: "I avoid things that are bad for me like alcohol, sugary sodas and processed foots.

"I focus on eating simple whole foods, like fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein."

When he's a restaurant Ronaldo is no stranger to ordering a lavish steak with a side salad.

He'll also tuck into tuna, eggs and potatoes and even a side of calamari on a special occasion.

His snacks don't appear to be so extravagant and will often take a sardine and simply have it on a slice of bread.
