How Hardik Pandya starts his day
“I wake up in the morning and have 500 ml of water to hydrate myself, so I can head to the gym straight after,” he shared, kicking off his day with a hydration boost. For breakfast, he opts for a power-packed smoothie loaded with about 650 calories and 30 grams of protein. “I like to have sunflower seeds, oats, avocado, almonds, almond milk, and a banana, that’s a perfect breakfast for me,” he shared.
Before lunch, Hardik takes a fizzy apple cider vinegar (ACV) supplement mixed with water, a trick he uses to curb cravings and manage weight. “It’s yummy, effective, and controls my appetite,” he said, adding that as an athlete, tracking calories is a must.

What does his afternoon-to-night diet look like
{{/usCountry}}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 that delivers 600 calories and 28 grams of protein, a meal he relies on for recovery and energy.
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.
