Vegetables are mostly carbs but better carbs, yeah but it shouldn't be their main source of power. Fat is better power.
Team Pre-Season Meal
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
Yeah they do, to get energy up for a couple of hours.Pasta is one of the things footballers eat most ffsit’s a staple pre match meal.
They do not only eat during match day I think, though?
Keano in 2000, very ineffective. Playing in the middle of the park, too.
Anyway, I said little carbs, which has unsurprisingly been understood as no carbs.
It's slightly odd that the team in Pre-season are allowed order this type of stuff. They've just had a holiday.
The Irish U21 rugby team stayed in a hotel I was working in years ago for about a week during a training camp and their diet was strict as feck. No cheat days at all. Mash with no butter or salt etc. We felt sorry for the poor lads.
Are we sure this is real? I initially thought it might have been an elaborate Luke Shaw is fat joke.

Carbs isn't the issue, it's processed sugars. If I were in charge, I'd ban dessert.
True. Or eat peanut butter. The danger with eating potatoes or bread for example is that it can make one more of a sugar lover.

They think their taste is superior to others.
Better carbs is a myth... Energy is energy. Your body uses it to function. No idea what fat is better power means.
A well done steak is tough and lacking in flavour. It's over-cooked.
Crazy how so many of them eat like 10 year old children. Wonder what the menu of elite athletes from other sports would look like?
Mata and Bruno at least going classy with the goats cheese for the apps.
The less said about Greenwood the better...

You might as well throw a well done steak in the garbage
Just like sugar is sugar. It somewhat is but obviously it's better to eat an apple than sweets.
Fat is better fuel because it doesn't cause as much of a dip afterwards, doesn't get you addicted to sweets and helps massively with your body fat ratio.
Footballers will be great athletes compared to average people anyway as they train too much not to be but it doesn't mean carbs are great and the only fuel that can be used.
EDIT: around 2000 the average body fat in our team was 10 I think. Nev had 12 if the memory serves. Keano was 5 after going low carb. Not to say 10 is bad, because it's still good but is it perfect? No.
Greenwood should be fined a weeks wages for that.
It seems like they are picking from a menu. A lot of "chicken supreme", "halloumi fries" and "steak" in there
I'd love to see the full menu, though.
Not a single fecking vegetable or salad!It seems like they are picking from a menu. A lot of "chicken supreme", "halloumi fries" and "steak" in there

EDIT: My bad. Anthony Martial showing the rest of them how to be an adult with his spinach.
Yeah, that's a disgrace. I don't see any sea food in there either.
What is wrong with a steak? Perfectly fine.
And creme brulee as his dessert. A man of sophistication.
This would be my go-to meal:
Starter: pasta salad with spinach, black olives, paprika and avocado.
Main: spicy, lean chicken
Side: fried rice, aromatic mushrooms and a spoon of aioli on the side.
Dessert: none.
Drink: water

Lingard is like bringing a 6 year old to McDonald’s. Not surprising at all!
That is why no one will remember your name
I know. Well-done steak with fries is the meal of champions, apparently
Normal Bread that really tickled me for some reason.
that really tickled me for some reason.So weird that they turn up at a wee restaurant in Broughty Ferry, on the outskirts of Dundee, although apparently it's where the late great Ralphie Milne used to frequent.
I’m guessing this is a one off, team bonding, cheat meal sort of thing. Can’t imagine them doing cheeseburgers once the season starts.
I was really hoping to see some hard bastard on a Ronaldo-esque level of dedication.
Where are you from ? It’s not British, we are the same in France.
Everyone knows that well done meet has a bad taste.
Firstly, that seems fake, secondly what’s wrong with fries, if they are in a restaurant it’s probably a cheat meal. Also I eat sweet potato fries but they aren’t deep fried just pan fried and put in an oven which should be fine, everyone needs fats.
Greenwood is fine by me I don’t particularly like well cooked, I’m more medium but it can mean different things at different places.
Finally though, Luke Shaw’s meal is hilarious.

Literally the only one.
And those medium and well done steaks are positively upsetting.
I remember there was a podcast interview with a rich black athlete and he said, when he took his sister to dinner, she ordered steak well done as well and he had to ask her to either get it medium or order chicken instead. Apparently, its a socio-economic thing with people not being used to ordering rare meat or expensive cuts. Greenwood will learn as he ages and gets used to fine dining. Some of the backlash here is a bit harsh for a teenager.
Are you a paleo guy ?
I wonder what Keane's go-to meal would be? It's tempting to think about something overly "manly"", but it would be funnier if he had a sweet tooth or something
None of this is true.
Which is what makes me think this is complete garbage.Normal Bread
"Hey we've got the Man Utd squad in for lunch today, what shall we put on the menu?" "I know, how about some normal bread to start?"
Of course Jesse the big child wants a plain burger. As for the gunman, we'll let him off with his w.d steak as he is actually a child.
You’re using Keane as an example. Why? He repeatedly states that his obsession with obtaining a lower body fat is the reason he kept getting injured.
