As the United States gets ready for a new presidential era, there is a keen focus on the food choices of the next First Family. Melania Trump is set to return as First Lady and is recognized for her structured and health-oriented eating lifestyle.
On the other hand, President-elect Donald Trump has a long-standing preference for fast food and rich dishes. Recent updates indicate that Melania, together with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, is motivating the president-elect to embrace healthier eating patterns.
Melania Trump’s Nutritional Approach
Melania Trump maintains a straightforward yet nutritious daily diet. She kickstarts her mornings with a smoothie that blends spinach, carrots, blueberries, apple juice, and fat-free yogurt, setting a healthy tone for her day.
Additionally, she aims to eat seven servings of fresh fruit each day, typically selecting apples and peaches. Despite her focus on nutrition, Melania occasionally treats herself to dark chocolate and ice cream but remains cautious about the amounts she consumes.
When dining in New York, she particularly enjoys the chicken parmesan at Jean-Georges, a fine dining spot within the Trump International Hotel.
Differing Food Preferences
In notable contrast, President-elect Donald Trump is famously fond of fast food, including chains like McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
During his previous term, he allegedly had a button in the Oval Office to easily request a Diet Coke. His go-to meals often feature steak, crab, shrimp, and Cobb salad.
Understanding the potential health risks linked to his dietary choices, Melania Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are reportedly working together to guide the president-elect towards better eating habits.
Sources have mentioned that Melania has been cooking dinners for her husband and their teenage son, Barron, at Trump Tower, with an aim to incorporate healthier alternatives into their meals.
One insider noted, “Think less Big Macs and KFC, and more lean proteins, salads, and vegetables for greater energy and overall health improvement,” according to Page Six.
