MUMBAI : The 45th and current president of the United States Donald Trump’s love for food has made many curious to know about his eating habits. To many people, Trump's diet is one of the things that define his character, for better or worse.

However, he's not the only Trump. The first family is made up of a number of distinctive personalities, and each has their own way of approaching their diets. You've got Melania by Donald's side, while moving further down the table you've got Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr, Jared Kushner, Tiffany, and Barron. It's a big family, and although one of them is renowned for his obsession with the unhealthier things on the menu, other Trumps have a love of salads, fruits, fine dining, hearty cooking, and even Slavic cuisine. This is what the Trump family really eats.
Melania: It might come as little surprise to find that Melania and Donald don't share too many eating habits. But even bearing that in mind, the contrast between their diets is stark. In a 2012 interview with Refinery29, Melania was asked about her daily food routine. "Well, in the morning, every morning, I have a smoothie with a few ingredients and a lot of vitamins in it — it's very healthy...," she explained, "but today I had a bit of oatmeal and juice."
Smoothie breakfasts with the occasional oatmeal treat is about as far as Melania could get from her husband's preferred way of starting the day. In fact, the president isn't a fan of breakfast at all, and often skips breakfast. If he does eat in the morning, it tends to be bacon and eggs.
Melania's break from her husband's food preferences doesn't end with breakfast, though. Even when it comes to snacking, the two are as different as chalk and cheese. In her 2012 Refinery29 interview, Melania went deeper into her eating routine. "It's not a diet," she said, "I just like to eat healthy because I feel better and have more energy. I don't have a particular snack I always eat. If I would snack, I would snack on maybe fruit or a little bit of chocolate, because I think your body needs that, too." Like many of the Trumps, Melania isn't exactly afraid to hit the town and dine out every now and again.
Ivanka: Even though Ivanka might be all about healthy eating these days that wasn't always the case. In fact, her diet once wasn't too different from her father's. According to an interview with Shape magazine, Ivanka once "ate like a teenager... carbs three times a day, usually in the form of pasta or pizza." However, after becoming pregnant, everything changed. Now her diet is far healthier than it was before.
Now, she starts off her day with lemon and water, a cup of coffee, and follows that up with a family breakfast of Greek yogurt with berries, cottage cheese, or "fancy oatmeal" for the kids. Lunch and dinner tend to consist of protein-based foods such as salmon, chicken, or salad. Treats, when they do appear, take the form of strawberry ice cream or Italian food at Frankies Spuntino in New York. Ivanka also exercises on a regular basis.
Donald Trump Jr: Not much is known about Don Jr's actual eating habits, but he did at least make clear one thing he doesn't much care for in 2018, when he took to Instagram to make a factually inaccurate attack on vegetarianism. The hastily-assembled meme, which depicted enough bacon to kill a small horse, was captioned: "There hasn't been one single bacon recall in 2018, but there have been several vegetable recalls... just saying."
Eric Trump: Like the rest of his family, Eric Trump, Don Jr's younger brother, often eats out on business. Beyond the fancy business dinners, however, Eric is apparently quite the accomplished cook. He was first inspired in the kitchen by his maternal grandmother, whose cooking was so good that the Trumps would crave her food for weeks after she left. Apparently, his time in the kitchen has paid off, and friends allegedly often ask that Eric cook for them rather than going out to dinner.
Jared Kushner: Being Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner probably keeps to many of the same eating habits as his wife but he also has something of a background in cooking himself. A report by the Boston Globe revealed that he was once made cooking editor of a famous Magazine. Jared's eating habits certainly aren't too far off those of his wife, and that means keeping healthy.
Tiffany Trump: Taking her Instagram at face value, it seems that Tiffany is quite the fan of desserts with some of her favorite sweet dishes appearing to include crème brûlée, cakes, and tea. No surprise here, of course, after all, her father is renowned for his love of all things sugary. Other favorite dishes for Tiffany include caviar and sushi, as well as Indian food.
