England have booked their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals, courtesy of a Jude Bellingham double. England’s hero delivered yet another decisive performance on Saturday (July 12), netting twice against Mexico in the round of 16.
England will meet Argentina on Wednesday, with the first World Cup final in 60 years now tantalisingly within reach.
And with Bellingham dominating the headlines once again, we’ve taken a look at a a distinctly British dish he reportedly loves – and it’s packed with pre-match nutritional benefits.
According to The Athletic, Bellingham follows a meticulously planned diet prepared by his personal chef, though he occasionally indulges in his go-to meal of baked beans and eggs.
Baked beans count towards your five-a-day, while being low in fat and high in fibre.
Offering a balanced combination of protein and carbohydrates, they provide excellent fuel for physical activity, while also delivering iron, zinc and B vitamins.
The tomato sauce contains lycopene, a protective antioxidant associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk.
Eggs, meanwhile, represent an outstanding protein source with exceptional digestibility and abundant nutrients. They also supply vitamins A, D and B12, alongside choline, a nutrient vital for numerous metabolic processes.
England are set to face Argentina at the Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday. Following last night’s victory, Bellingham posted on Instagram this morning (Sunday), sharing several images from England’s most recent triumph.
In his caption, he wrote: “Live to fight another day. [lion emoji] Semi’s next. Believe!”
