\"Hardik Hardik Pandya finally answers the big question: What do you eat in a day?(Instagram\/@hardikpandya93) How Hardik Pandya starts his day<\/p>\n

\u201cI wake up in the morning and have 500 ml of water to hydrate myself, so I can head to the gym straight after,\u201d he shared, kicking off his day with a hydration boost. For breakfast, he opts for a power-packed smoothie<\/a> loaded with about 650 calories and 30 grams of protein. \u201cI like to have sunflower seeds, oats, avocado, almonds, almond milk, and a banana, that\u2019s a perfect breakfast for me,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

Before lunch, Hardik<\/a> takes a fizzy apple cider vinegar (ACV) supplement mixed with water, a trick he uses to curb cravings and manage weight. \u201cIt\u2019s yummy, effective, and controls my appetite,\u201d he said, adding that as an athlete, tracking calories is a must.<\/p>\n

What does his afternoon-to-night diet look like<\/p>\n

His lunch is all about comfort food with a nutritious twist. He enjoys Indian staples like jeera rice, palak, and daal, which add up to around 550 calories and 24 grams of protein. Post-evening practice, Hardik fuels up with oatmeal<\/a> that delivers 600 calories and 28 grams of protein, a meal he relies on for recovery and energy.<\/p>\n

Dinner follows a similar pattern, with another round of ACV before his final meal of the day, a wholesome Asian green bowl with tofu and brown rice, which he describes as the perfect balanced meal to wrap up his day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hardik Pandya, known not just for his cricketing prowess but also for being one of the fittest athletes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324592,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4322],"tags":[5616,32647,1630,117212,14275,105,117211,6661,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-324591","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-apple-cider-vinegar","9":"tag-daily-diet","10":"tag-fitness","11":"tag-fitness-hacks","12":"tag-hardik-pandya","13":"tag-health","14":"tag-manage-weight","15":"tag-protein","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114986260260332457","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
