Italian coach Conte, 47, is cracking down on nutrition and fitness ahead of the new season.

Chelsea players will return to Cobham training ground to find the canteen has been depleted of the fatty and sugary snacks.

The traditional post-match pizzas have controversially been scrapped despite previous bosses allowing the treat.

Players CAN spruce up their meals by adding salt and pepper but traditional vinegar has been replaced by balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Conte has also swapped brunch options of cereals, eggs and pasta for a lighter choice of chicken and salad as he believes his players were bloated going onto the pitch.

Pep Guardiola has implemented a similar regime at Manchester City by creating a shameful fat camp for out-of-shape players.

Former Juventus manager Conte has increased the workload in training to get his stars up to speed and there have been no complaints so far, reports the Times.

In fact, Cesc Fabregas was so keen on impressing his new gaffer he cut short a summer getaway to Spain to return to training early.
