Erling Haaland is once again making headlines in the football world—not only for his goals but also for his incredible physique and outstanding performances.
The Norwegian striker was the hero of his country’s 2-1 victory over Brazil, scoring both goals to send Norway into the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup. His international record is equally remarkable, with 62 goals in 54 appearances for the national team.
A viral video from Norway’s match against Iraq, showing Haaland sprinting at an astonishing speed of 36.2 km/h (22.5 mph), has reignited discussions about his extraordinary physical abilities and prompted the question many fans often ask: What does Haaland eat?
According to reports, his daily diet consists of around 6,000 calories, carefully designed by his family and a nutritionist. It is based primarily on natural, minimally processed foods while avoiding highly processed industrial products.
His menu includes beef, liver, eggs, sourdough bread, raw honey, milk, and large steaks. He also regularly eats fish such as sea bass, along with asparagus and rice with eggs.
Before home matches, his father prepares lasagna for him—a ritual that has become well known even within elite football circles.
Haaland has previously stated that the quality and natural origin of his food are essential to him, emphasizing the importance of fresh, minimally processed ingredients in maintaining peak athletic performance.
