Fans generally have a lot of questions. Do the athletes, such as baseball players, even eat during the day? Even if they do, what do they eat that helps them stay in shape and also helps in the game to remain energized? Fans like to follow their legends, even their diet plans. New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez once shared his secret diet and routine during a match day. 

From waking up in the morning to lying down in bed to sleep at night, A-Rod shared everything he used to do on a match day. 

What does Alex Rodriguez have for breakfast?

Before telling about his routine and diet for the match, he started with a little motivation. He said, “The more consistent you can be with your approach,…the better you’re going to be out on the field.”

He continued by stating that he wakes up at 9 a.m. and then, “have some egg whites, and some oatmeal,” followed by gym for about an hour. 

Talking about coming back, he said, “I’m probably there for about an hour, come back, I have a shake, a protein shake, nutrition is very important.”
