Not much: There is not much in the literature about diet and the effect on sperm production and male fertility but to my knowledge there should not be much of a connection. Of course, the more healthy a person is the better off, so always plan to eat a healthy diet and exercise!

Some: Antioxidants are becoming increasingly important in the integrity of sperm dna. Obesity, heavy alcohol use and smoking can all affect semen quality/quantity.

A huge one: Your diet should keep your body weight normal (bmi 19-25) and provide good, balanced nutrition and a boatload of antioxidants. See: http://theturekclinic.Com/why-blueberries-matter-antioxidants-male-infertility/.
