Jeff Gordon

NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon is used to speeding on smooth pavement, but it's a different story when it comes to his diet. He says his favorite food is Rocky Road ice cream.

Tony Hawk

What's the secret diet of the Hawkman? When Tony isn't grabbing air in the halfpipe, you might catch him chowing down on sushi or Bagel Bites, which he says are his fave foods.

Donovan McNabb

The QB for the Philadelphia Eagles gets himself ready on game day with a big breakfast which usually includes pancakes, sausages and a ham and cheese omelet. Donovan says his favorite non game-day meal is red beans and rice.

Yao Ming

What sort of chow gives Houston Rockets' center, Yao Ming, the power to unleash his thunderous slam dunks and in-your-face blocks? Yao says his favorite rocket fuel is pork chops, chicken soup and anything made by his mom.

Alex Rodriguez

When you make $25 million a year, you'd think you'd be able to afford more than Cocoa Puffs for breakfast. But those puffy balls of chocolate are what A-Rod says are his favorite thing to eat when he starts his day. Alex prefers sushi, or any other kind of seafood, for dinner and cheesecake for dessert.

Serena Williams

Serena is used to eating up and spitting out her opponents on the tennis court, but her favorite meal off the court is Chinese food.
