Michaels food

Looking at This is it footage, I wonder what he was eating, to preserve the body he had. Not even the beginnings of a fat belly at age 50.
Was he a vegetarian?

Kevin McLin (a former publicist for the Jackson family) stated that Michael Jackson generally liked eating turkey burgers, Chinese food, a lot of vegetables, but he avoided red meat.

Also, right after a concert, sources close to him revealed that he used to eat watermelon (backstage) as a way for him to replenish the fluids that he just lost on stage while performing.

This suggests that also right after each 'This Is It' show, he would eat watermelon (backstage) for the same reason.

Michael Jackson also liked to order and eat fish sandwich from McDonald's (especially, while working in the recording studio).

One of the singer's favourite meals generally was chicken breast (chicken breast was also his last meal on Earth).

It is interesting to note that during Michael Jackson's last week on Earth, Randy Phillips hired a guy whose sole purpose was to remind the singer to eat.

Unfortunately if you look at how thin he was, I'd say very very little.

There was interviews from his chef at the time who mentioned what he was eating and all the healthy stuff he enjoyed etc.

I guess there's not much time for food in-between rehearsals and sleep deprivation

Thought he liked chicken and Chinese food, and carrots since he liked carrot cake back in the day. and some said KFC in his later years.

sounds good, but did he say that?

“I fast every Sunday. I don’t eat anything. Just juices. […] It flushes out the system, cleans out the colon. I think that’s great. To really make it work, you have to do it properly. That’s the sewer valve of the system. You have to keep that clean like you clean the outside of your body. All these impurities come out of your system because you’re not clean inside. It comes out in pimples or disease or through big pores. Toxins trying to get out of your system. People should try to keep themselves clean.”
― Michael Jackson

Unfortunately, his diet wasn't correct... He could lose so much weight... I still can't believe, how he managed to dance with this poor eating ration

COLACELLO: You don’t go out much?
JACKSON: Only to go to the Golden Temple, a health food restaurant. I’m a vegetarian. Or I go to the arcade and play the game.

Michael Jackson - Interview Magazine

"I like to make people happy. That's what's great about show business. It's escapism. You pay your five bucks to get in and sit there and you're in another world. Forget about the problems in the world. It's wonderful. It's entertaining. It's magic."

“He was the type of person who could just go, go, go for hours without eating, and then be famished,” Niall says.
And when that time came, finding the right food to satisfy him wasn’t always the easiest thing. Niall says that Jackson had a “fairly limited diet” and was “a vegetarian who didn’t like vegetables.”
“He liked pizza, but he didn’t like pasta,” he continues.
Another difficult workaround: He had a major sweet tooth, but he didn’t eat sugar and didn’t like chocolate.
Niall did find some dishes that were a home run, though. Mexican food like spicy smoked red chile enchiladas were a staple, and the singer was also fond of grilled tofu shish kebabs with couscous and Moroccan sauce.

I read that in his later years, he ate mainly healthy on week days, then have a “cheat weekend” by having KFC.

I can already imagine the song Cheater blaring from the car on the drive there.
