In this informal YouTube monologue, the speaker reminisces about the typical diet of athletes during the early, low‑income phase of his career. He notes that fruit was virtually absent, with the only fruit being occasional bananas. The staple foods were cheap, high‑carb and protein sources: large amounts of sweet potato, rice, bread, pasta, and bland boiled chicken. Protein came mainly from inexpensive eggs and chicken, with a 0.60 BRL egg price at the time, contrasted with today’s near‑1 BRL price, which he humorously calls a luxury. The tone is nostalgic, conversational, and slightly self‑deprecating, highlighting how financial constraints shaped his nutrition and how food prices have dramatically risen since then.
