Robert Lewandowski is one of the most professional and conscientious players in international football. Here you can find out more about the star striker of FC Bayern Munich, including his nutrition, diets, sleeping rhythm and fitness plan.
World Footballer of the Year 2020 – and now again. For his strong performances in 2021, Robert Lewandowski was recently named Best Player by FIFA. Even at the age of 33, the Polish attacker in the service of FC Bayern Munich still knows how to impress.
In order to consistently deliver on the pitch, it takes a lot more than just pure sporting quality. Indispensable for great success, also on an individual level, is in particular to be physically in top form, to pay attention to oneself and one’s diet, to focus on fitness and a healthy everyday life.
This is always the case for Lewandowski, once thin and squeamish, which can be seen from his well-trained, muscular body alone, when he rips his jersey off to celebrate a goal. Throughout his career, “Lewy” has grown into a true model athlete.
Robert Lewandowski: Nutrition, Diets
His wife Anna Lewandowska, who is a nutritionist and fitness trainer, also played a part in this. So it’s no wonder that the Bayern professional looks the way he does. “We do without lactose, wheat flour, white sugar, fried foods. We eat dessert or carbohydrates first and then protein, sometimes we eat more raw food, sometimes only a little meat,” his wife once revealed image-Newspaper.
The aim of this method: Carbohydrates and proteins are separated, there is no mixing of food, the body is therefore not overwhelmed.
Porridge, vegetable spaghetti or millet are high on the menu, as well as the occasional high-quality meat and fish, salad and soups.
But all that doesn’t mean that Lewandowski doesn’t reach for something sweet from time to time. But whenever he does that, it is now exclusively a piece of dark chocolate with a hundred percent cocoa content.
Robert Lewandowski: sleep rhythm, fitness plan
Sleep also plays a role in Lewandowski’s success. He hired a sleep coach to achieve optimal conditions. The goalscorer sleeps on a high-quality mattress, the bedroom can be completely darkened, and the maximum temperature even in summer is 21 degrees Celsius. Electronic devices such as a television are taboo in the bedroom, and Lewandowski sleeps on his left side.
When he is at home and not sleeping, he often spends time in his own fitness room. Most professionals these days not only have this on the club premises, but also in their own homes. His wife Anna is also a good advisor here. In addition to his usual strength training, the disciplined Lewandowski sometimes does exercises that alone improve his concentration. In September 2021, in an interview with Kicker, he said he physically felt like he was only 25 years old.
It’s no wonder that FC Bayern is considering another extension of the contract that runs until June 30, 2023 and that Munich isn’t really making any moves to free Erling Haaland (21) from Borussia Dortmund.
