10 Foods That Serena Williams and Other Top Athletes Eat
Updated: Jan. 14, 2022The newspaper headlines love to talk about athlete's and their famous healthy diets, but you might be surprised at some of their favorite foods!
Your favorite athlete probably eats all their vegetables every day. After all, it’s those vitamins and minerals that help you grow strong and healthy. But, everyone needs a cheat day from time to time. These are some of the foods your favorite athletes love.
Serena Williams
In an interview with Bon Appetit, Serena Williams admits that she loves chocolate, but her favorite celebration food is her Mom’s chicken and biscuits. We think she’d love our Chicken Biscuit Bake!
LeBron James
Most people think of a protein when they recall their favorite food, but this NBA veteran is all about the cereal. Specifically, Fruity Pebbles. He even has a pair of Nike shoes that contain all the colors of his favorite cereal!
Drew Brees
This Texas native is such a foodie, he has a hard time settling on a favorite food! If he had to choose, it would be a toss-up between chicken fried steak, barbecue, and Chinese food.
Jordan Spieth
Here’s another Texas native that can’t get enough barbecue. He’s not too picky on the type of barbecue, but he’s adamant that Salt Lick BBQ Sauce be part of the meal.
Aaron Rodgers
Like his fellow quarterback Tom Brady, this Green Bay Packers player is all about following a clean eating diet. That means no dairy and meat-free, vegan recipes (although, he does still eat chicken and some red meats from time to time).
Steph Curry
This basketball superstar is lucky: His wife is a gourmet cook! She makes him all kinds of delicious foods, but Chicken Parmesan is his favorite because he gets to cook it with his kids.
Ronda Rousey
She’s one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time, and she eats the same food after every fight: Chicken wings. She loves buffalo wings so much that she’s eaten more than 50 of them in one sitting!
David Beckham
You might think this international soccer star would like something incredibly fancy, but his favorite food is Pie and Mash. It’s London’s most traditional dish made up of a meat pie served with a side of mashed potatoes.
Dwayne Johnson
To build his super muscular body, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson eats a whopping 5,470 calories a day! That includes a pound of halibut, chicken, and over a pound of steak every day (alongside a handful of vegetables, too).
Danica Patrick
This NASCAR driver follows a health-forward diet, but her favorite comfort food meal is breakfast. She loves plain eggs, bacon and hash browns – but those breakfast potatoes better be super crispy!
