Summary
Men’s Health featured Alex Rodriguez showing his kitchen and saying he now eats three or four meals a day, down from six during his 162-game MLB seasons.
The 51-year-old said retirement sharply reduced his calorie needs; he quit soft drinks five years ago and now thinks he may under-eat, especially on protein, fruit and water.
His fridge staples include eggs, lettuce, bananas, apples, oranges, blueberries, strawberries, broccoli and hummus, while protein shakes remain part of his routine.
Rodriguez also kept room for indulgences, stocking Doritos, Cheetos, Tostitos and barbecue chips, joking his best pantry work happens at 2 a.m.
The former slugger said he has never tried a diet, still favors steak or salmon for dinner, drinks seven to eight coffees a day and calls hydration a daily priority.
What happens when an elite athlete slashes his diet, and could his surprising daily coffee habit secretly undermine his new health-focused lifestyle?
