In Matthew 4.1-11 The Bible clearly states that Jesus was tempted 3 times. However we are tempted every single day and that is what makes Jesus such a remarkable story and how we know he was man but also God in the flesh. Because no one else ever has lived a perfect life and then died on a cross (the worse kind of death at the time) for our sins (that had to be paid one way or another).

If your kid does something wrong you have to discipline him not to be mean but because he needs to know right from wrong and there has to be punishment for wrong actions. This is also what makes the Christian religion so different from all other religions. Because it is the only religion in the world that God reaches out to us and sacrificed his self to give man an (undeserved) second chance. All other religions believe that you get to heaven by being good or your own good doing. But the whole part of the christian story is that we can't ever be good enough to reach God so he has to reach out to us (aka Grace).

Part of how we know it is a true story is because all of his 12 disciples except one believed in it so much that they were all murdered and gave their lives to spread the good news. (Not that the one didn't believe enough we just all have different lives to live).

How old was Jesus when tempted in the desert?

The events highlighted in Matthew and Luke Chapters 3 and 4 reveal that Jesus was about 30 years old when he was tempted in the wilderness. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist Jesus was about 30 years old Luke 3:22,23 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age..." Jesus went into the wilderness to be tempted Matthew 3:16-4:1 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water... And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." In the Bible, a young person is referred to as a youth until he reaches age thirty. According to Jewish custom, no person was allowed to teach until he was thirty years old, nor was he considered for membership in the Sanhedrin (the ruling body of Israel) until he had reached thirty. Jesus returned to Galilee with public attention upon him Jesus, being 30 years of age, taught in the synagogues Luke 4:13-15 "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all."

What types of food did Jesus Christ eat in the dessert for forty days?

No doubt after fasting for such a long time Jesus was in a depleted state. I would also imagine that being in the presence of Satan must have been emotionally and mentally draining. The bible tells us that at the end of the 40 days in the desert angels were sent to minister to Jesus and help Him regain His strength. They certainly would have provided nourishment.
