““I’ve never seen anyone eat as much as he does”,” said Josh King, Haaland’s teammate on Norway’s national team.
And he wasn’t exaggerating. According to the report by TV Azteca Deportes, the 1.96-meter-tall Manchester City striker spreads his food intake across 6 meals a day. The figure attributed to him is around 6 thousand calories a day, intended to meet his energy needs and help him recover from physical exertion. His meals include chicken, steak, fish, honey, eggs, vegetables, pasta, and milk. Water is key to staying hydrated, and he tries to avoid foods with a lot of sugar.
Haaland’s diet is once again a topic with Norway at the 2026 World Cup, and King summed it up with a comparison that needs no explanation: “Eat like a bear” 🐻
