Brady called time on his incredible football career for good after more than two decades in the NFL.
He has since thrown himself into the world of business, investing in sports teams on both sides of the Atlantic.
During his 22-year career, 6-foot-4 Brady tipped the scales at 225 pounds.
A strict diet and exercise regimen helped him maintain that weight as he played at the highest level well into his 40s.

But the NFL legend assured fans that he was in peak condition now he’s able to prioritize exercise without the stress of football.
He continued: “I haven’t had the stress that I had while I was playing so that’s allowed me to focus a little bit more on my physical health.”
“Physical and mental health is so important to all of us. Without that, what do we really have?
“You could prioritize a lot of other things; career, kids, relationships, family, greater good, community.
“At the end of the day, physical and mental health should sit at the top of the pyramid.
“You know, because if we don’t have that – when we don’t have that – we have nothing.
“So why wait until you’re on your deathbed to start worrying about that?
“I learned it because I was fortunate in my career to learn it, OK if I don’t take care of myself, I won’t have a career.
“But now, if I don’t take care of my life, I won’t have a life.”
Brady stuck to a tried-and-tested diet throughout his lengthy 22-year career.
Per Men’s Journal, he avoids eating white sugar, dairy, white flour, caffeine, or iodized salt.
He makes sure to stock up daily on organic veggies and lean meats.
He told People: “I’ve developed so many healthy habits, I just want to stick with them.
“I don’t think [the diet] is a strict regimen. I think it’s just trying to make healthy choices that allow me to live the life I want to live.”
Brady is due to take up a broadcasting role with Fox Sports for the 2024 season.
