Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has offered fans a glimpse into his daily routine, revealing a diet centred on fresh eggs, sourdough bread, raw milk, local honey and large cuts of beef rather than expensive supplements or trendy superfoods.
In his YouTube video Day in the Life of a Pro Footballer , Haaland showcased his eating habits and recovery routine. The video later caught the attention of American health influencer Paul Saladino, who reviewed the footballer's diet, highlighting what he approved of and what he criticised.
Morning routine begins with coffee, sunlight and a simple breakfast
Haaland starts his day with coffee mixed with raw milk and a small amount of maple syrup. He describes coffee as a "superfood" when prepared properly and says milk benefits the stomach, bones, muscles and skin.
Before breakfast, he spends time outdoors to get fresh air and morning sunlight. His breakfast typically consists of sunny-side-up eggs served with freshly baked sourdough bread.
Health expert praises several dietary choices
Saladino commended Haaland's habit of getting morning sunlight and was particularly impressed by his consumption of raw milk. He described it as beneficial for humans and cited studies linking raw milk consumption with fewer respiratory infections and lower rates of asthma, eczema and allergies.
He also praised Haaland's decision to buy local honey from the same farm where he purchases raw milk, joking that the footballer was "kind of the Viking" because of his traditional food choices.
Saladino described eggs as one of the most nutritious foods, noting that they are rich in choline, protein and fat-soluble vitamins. He also endorsed sourdough bread, saying the fermentation process makes it easier to digest than many other varieties.
