Manny Machado Cut Pizza, Chicken Nuggets Out of His Diet to Reduce Body Fat

Baltimore Orioles star Manny Machado is making the transition from third base back to shortstop this year. In preparation for the move, he adjusted his workout schedule and diet in the offseason.

As he told Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com, that meant giving up two of his favorite foods:

"I love pizza and McDonald's. Chicken nuggets and a large fries—that's my thing. For a while I would drive past a McDonald's and I'd want to stop. But once you change your eating habits and put the right things in your body, you don't even crave it anymore.
