      We revealed last week how Ronaldo has raised training and nutrition standards since arriving at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
      He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February.
      With form like that, few would begrudge him a cheat day, but supporters were having none of it as he posted the latest advert for his CR7 boxers.
      The photo showed his ripped physique sitting in a throne in only his underwear, and he appeared to be tucking into a huge slice of a football cake.

      Ronaldo captioned it with: “Turn your hunger to win into your greatest strength.#CR7 #DEARYS7NS #CR7UNDERWEAR #GLUTTONY.”
      But his followers saw right through it, with one reply saying: “There’s no way he’d eat that cake… Diet is very important…”

      Another commented: “We know he didn’t eat that cake because he avoids foods that harm him. The man is a legend.”
      As we revealed previously, Ronaldo leads the most disciplined of lifestyles but can eat up to SIX meals a day, with fish a big part of his diet.

      Swordfish, tuna and braised cod are particular favourites.
      He regards chicken as ‘magical’ due to its high protein and low fat content.
      For breakfast Ronaldo will eat egg or ham and cheese and low-fat yoghurt and if he doesn’t have it for brekkie, the now Al-Nassr forward will wolf down avocado toast for snacks during the day.
      Lunch No1 could consist of chicken and salad, while No2 might be fish – maybe tuna with salad, eggs and olives.
      Dinner will see the ace, who was released by Manchester United in December after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, fill his boots with meat or fish, maybe breaking them up in two separate sittings.
      Steak, swordfish or the Lisbon speciality of Bacalao a la Brasa – a mixture of braised cod, onions, thinly sliced potatoes and scrambled eggs should see him through till bedtime. More

      However, 22-year-old Palmeiras defender Menino, who was previously linked with Chelsea, has also tried to follow suit.
      But speaking to Palmeiras Cast, he revealed just how difficult it was to emulate the superstar.
      Menino revealed: “I called Mirtes, Palmeiras’ nutritionist, and asked her to make me a Cristiano Ronaldo diet. I wanted to look like Cristiano Ronaldo.
      “The diet was like this: breakfast was an egg and supplement. Pre-workout was a supplement, lunch could be grilled and salad. For breakfast it was more supplement, for dinner, again, grilled meat and salad, and before going to bed another supplement. That was it.
      “I was warming up and couldn’t take any more running. I just thought, ‘I’m going to die.’ Five minutes into the game, I couldn’t run anymore, I would need to be substituted.
      “She [Mirtes] saw from above that I was not well. She asked the masseur to bring me gel and isotonic.”
      Although Menino freely admits his struggles to stick with the strict regime, it is still paying for the veteran Ronaldo.
      He has just been named the Saudi Pro League player of the month after scoring eight goals and producing two assists in four appearances throughout February.
      He will next lead out Al-Nassr at home to Al-Batin on Friday.

      Fans have noticed the Manchester City striker is a machine not just at scoring goals but also for munching carrots – even dangling them out of his mouth as he signs autographs.
      Haaland rounded off City’s return to the top of the table with a cracking finish in Wednesday’s 3-1 win at Arsenal.
      And he’s a gold-carrot performer off the pitch as well.
      The £51million Norwegian will never be short of vitamin A, judging by his knack for the healthy snack.

      the 22-year-old was snapped with his car window down as a carrot hang from his lips while he scribbled his name for supporters.
      And in another picture he can be seen driving off with one hand on the wheel, the other on a half-eaten carrot.
      One fan dreamed: “I want to be to Erling Haaland what carrots are to him.”
      And another pondered: “Maybe the trick is to eat whole carrots to become Haaland.”

      He downs 6,000 calories a day – leading to some amazing claims from his international team-mate Josh King.
      The former Watford and Everton frontman, now with Fenerbahce, once said Haaland “eats like a bear”.
      King told Ben Foster’s ‘The Cycling GK’ podcast: “He’s just a freak. I’ve never ever seen anyone eat as much as he does.
      Haaland himself has revealed he also eats chunks of liver and heart beef from local butchers.
      He told the ‘Haaland: The big decision’ documentary: “You (other people) don’t eat this, but I am concerned with taking care of my body.
      “I think eating quality food that is as local as possible is the most important.
      “People say meat is bad for you but which? The meat you get at McDonald’s?
      “Or the local cow eating grass right over there? I eat the heart and the liver.”

      Add in his vegetable-chewing antics, and it might not sound too tasty.
