As Donald Trump approaches his 80th birthday, the 47th President of the United States' stamina remains a frequent topic of conversation.
Whether he is crisscrossing the country for rallies or hosting late-night summits at the White House, he insists he's still one of the most energetic figures on the world stage.
While his unconventional lifestyle might make a traditional nutritionist blush, his relentless pace is undeniable.
From his famous soda habit to his battery theory of exercise, HELLO! goes behind the scenes to break down the president’s wellness regime...by numbers.
He's a fan of soda
12: The diet coke count
Perhaps the most famous number in the West Wing is his soda count. During his first term, reports surfaced that Trump consumed up to 12 cans of Diet Coke a day.
While it has since been suggested that he has swapped some of those for water the silver cans remain his signature power fuel.

4: His sleep schedule
While most doctors recommend eight hours of rest per night, Trump's physician, Navy Doctor Ronny Jackson admits: "I would say he sleeps four to five hours a night. He’s probably been like that his whole life. He’s just one of those people who just does not require a lot of sleep."
The president said himself that he typically goes to bed at 1am and gets up at 5am to read newspapers, watch TV and eat.
He has previously called sleep a "finite resource," preferring to spend his "battery" on work rather than rest.

18: Holes of golf
You won't find a treadmill in the president’s personal quarters, instead, his fitness is found on the green. A round of golf involves walking several miles and is a good low-impact workout for a man of his age.
It also helps his competitive edge, which he believes is the true secret to longevity.

1: Minute of exercise
It's no secret that Trump isn't a fan of workouts. Ironically, while signing an order to bring back a presidential fitness award for children, he revealed: "I work out so much, like, about one minute a day, max. If I'm lucky."
Steak is a firm favorite
2,500: Calories
Despite the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement currently sweeping his administration, Trump's palate remains classic.
He is a fan of well-done steaks and high-protein meals. However, 2026 has seen a shift toward the MAHA influence in the White House kitchen, with a new focus on organic, estate-grown vegetables and eliminating artificial dyes.
Although his favorite McDonald's Quarter Pounder remains an occasional treat, albeit without the bun!

He credits being teetotal for his mental clarity and skin health. He also avoids tobacco and coffee.
