To maintain the caliber of such extreme routine, she takes carbs and proteins.
Milk, eggs, and fruits are breakfast staples for Sindhu.
For lunch, she enjoys meat with some vegetables and rice.
For dinner, there is the no-carb approach and Sindhu eats grilled meat and veggies.
Hard to believe she enjoys only one cheat day in a month or two when she can eat whatever she wants! Guess success and fame do require a lot of sacrifices.
