Romelu Lukaku says playing for Inter Milan has taken his game to a new level.
The striker admits he was overweight while with Everton and Manchester United.
“When I came to Inter, we analysed my body and so much has changed," Lukaku said in an official Inter podcast with the club nutritionist Matteo Pincella.
“I eat a lot of salad and fish, which has a great effect on me. I take L-Carnitine and vitamin supplements.
“My diet consists of salad for lunch, lots of chicken breast, shirataki pasta. I don't vary it very much, because for the way we play, I have to be very strong physically. Since I've been following this lifestyle, I feel much better on the pitch, much more reactive and quicker.
“For carbohydrates, I love sweet potato and wild rice, but I don't each much pasta. Every country has its own focus on diet, and I've always been a powerful player, but Italy took me to another level. I've never felt so strong.
“I reached another level, both physical and mental."
