Nadia Comăneci places great emphasis on nutrition and healthy eating. Her diet was closely monitored during her early gymnastics career, but Comăneci never felt deprived of culinary pleasures.

Even today, Comăneci adheres to a strict, calorie-controlled diet that excludes processed foods. She proudly states that she hasn't eaten a French fry in 25 years. One of her favorite dishes is Salata de Vinete, a traditional Romanian dish comprising eggplant, onions, and spices.
