About vitamin K2, Saladino offered an interesting theory from his childhood. He suggested that Haaland probably consumed a lot of “good food” growing up.

This nutrient, they claim, can keep the growth plates open for longer. He speculated that this might contribute to greater adult height. He wished he himself had more K2 in his childhood. As for the coffee, Saladino hoped Haaland’s batch was mold-free.

Saladino strongly encouraged Haaland’s habit of morning walks. He praised Norway’s 2026 FIFA World Cup hero for experimenting with different healthy lifestyle options.

The morning sunshine earned a particularly enthusiastic endorsement from Saladin. He says he personally practices this every morning.

He cited research linking nighttime light to poor health outcomes. His advice was to get sunlight during daylight hours. Meanwhile, he recommended that nights be dark to protect circadian rhythms.

With sourdough bread, Saladino cautiously agreed. According to him, it is an overall better choice of bread. Fermentation, he explained, could reduce the risk of digestive problems.

As for the eggs, he was fully supportive without reservation. He highlighted their rich content of choline and fat-soluble vitamins. He also urged people not to be afraid of dietary cholesterol.

However, Saladino criticized one aspect of Haaland’s routine. He did not agree with the non-stick pan used. He warned against cookware containing PFAS chemicals in general. Instead, he recommended stainless steel options like All-Clad. He also designed enamel-coated cast iron, such as Le Creuset. He called Haaland ‘trash’.

Summarizing his overall rating, Saladino rated the breakfast highly. He gave Haaland’s morning meal a solid 7 out of 10.

The meal included sunny side up eggs and sourdough bread. It also featured coffee mixed with raw milk. Saladino admitted that he would personally skip the coffee and bread. Still, he called it a really good way to start the morning.

Erling Haaland is known for his massive protein-rich diet. Tomahawk steak remains one of his favorite cuts. He prefers fatty, marbled steaks like ribeye and tomahawk. He buys them fresh from Greenoaks Farm in Cheshire.

Haaland usually marinates and grills the beef himself. He then eats it directly with his hands. In the video, he jokes about not hoarding all the tomahawks. He also jokes about wanting the steak for free.

Paul Saladino praised the farm and its grass-fed beef. He called the farm’s owner a “hero” for its produce. Saladino strongly favors fatty steaks, especially ribeye and tomahawk. He also named short ribs among his personal favorites.

He insists that animal fat is actually healthy for humans. He emphasized fat-soluble vitamins such as A, K2, and E. Vitamin K2, he argued, could reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Reaction on social networks

However, Paul Saladin’s claims have drawn mixed reactions on social media.

“Why did you say ‘raw milk’ but leave out how he actually mixes it with a bunch of kale and spinach? Oh, that’s right. You’re a huge cherry picker,” wrote one user.

“There is absolutely no evidence that giving extra K2 beyond what is needed will make a child grow taller than their genetic potential,” commented another.

One user commented: “It’s purely genetics you clown. Imagine telling one of the best athletes in the world what to do.”

“Stop promoting animal abuse and exploitation because it’s truly disgusting, barbaric and animals think you’re the devil,” chimed in another.
