What Ranbir Kapoor eats to stay fit
Shivoham explained that the actor is extremely disciplined when it comes to his food choices. “Ranbir does not like sweets or fried food. He doesn't even prefer eating outside. He always opts for simple, home-cooked meals,” he said.
That said, Ranbir does have a soft spot for burgers, which he enjoys on his cheat days. The actor follows a low-carb diet meticulously. “For breakfast, he consumes eggs, a protein shake, and brown bread. Lunch usually includes brown rice, chicken, dal, and green vegetables. Snacks consist of dry fruits and protein shakes, while dinner is kept light,” Shivoham said and added, “Ranbir prefers brown rice, toast, or even biryani instead of roti.”
Secret behind Ranbir's toned physique
The trainer further revealed that when it comes to supplements, Ranbir incorporates protein, glutamine, and multivitamins into his routine. Shivoham emphasised that Ranbir's dedication is the real secret behind his fitness. “He understands that you cannot fool the camera. With proper sleep, a clean diet, consistent workouts, and adequate hydration, he maintains his toned and fit physique,” he said.
On the professional front, Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up to portray Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. He is also set to appear in Love and War, Dhoom 4, and Brahmastra: Part Two.
