Barack Obama’s diet? Barack Obama’s diet is not perfect, but he eats right, even when he and his wife, Michelle, 44, dine at Topolobampo, their favorite Mexican restaurant back home in Chicago.

“There isn’t melted cheese and sour cream over everything,” says chef Rick Bayless, who is a contender to become the Obamas‘ chef at the White House. “We begin with fresh, nonprocessed ingredients, and the dish is naturally better and completely satisfying. What’s great about the Obamas is that they try everything.” One of their favorites? The fresh sweet corn.

Barack Obama’s diet Obama likes snacks – “nuts, trail mix, granola bars,” says one political insider. But like everyone else, Obama has been known to occasionally indulge in cheese steaks, fried chicken and pizza. Luckily, he burns lots of calories because he is so active.

Here how a potential Barack Obama’s diet looks like:

Breakfast It is not clear what Barack eats for breakfast, but it is probably something moderate in carbs and high in protein, I hope.

Snack Obama has been known to treat himself to a refreshing ice. His potential chef would offer him organic fruit bars, sliced cheese, or a tuna salad with crackers.

Lunch Obama likes Mexican food, so it seems safe to assume that a homemade chili, grilled vegetables and maybe a turkey burger are on his menu.

Dinner Obama had gumbo while campaigning in New Orleans in February. But other alternatives come to mind. Think grilled chicken breast stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, garlic and pecorino Romano cheese, or grass-fed ribeye steak. [via]
