For dinner, he eats roasted or grilled Chicken breast or Fish (Salmon or Sea Bass) with steamed or stir-fried vegetables.
Throughout his day he tries to incorporate as much protein as he can – he eats about 8-10 egg whites through his day in between meals. He also consumes supplements through the day and eats as many fresh fruits as he can. He drinks 2 glasses of milk every day.
Workout Plan
Every workout for Hrithik begins with a 30-minute cardio session. He plans his workout routine in such a way that he keeps his focus on various parts of his body on defined days. His workouts help him increase his stamina, flexibility, and endurance giving him an athletic and muscular physique.
