I met Nidhi at a bloggers meet a few weeks ago and asked her to share her diet with me and my readers. I have been following her channel and her instagram feed for ages now and the fact that she’s a vegan athlete really inspires me to switch to a plant based diet.

Nidhi Mohan Kamal is a Nutritionist and wellness entrepreneur who lifts like a boss and does yoga. She believes in clean healthy eating with real food and doesn’t rely on processed food and supplements. She is extremely fit and you can check out some of her videos on instagram or youtube.

Here is her day on a plate:

Breakfast: Morning has to be the craziest time of the day because I have to get ready, prep all my meals in advance and look presentable before I leave the door.

Lifting makes you a hungry monster so I always wake up hungry. I start my day with some tea and some nuts, which gives me enough power to fuel me through the cooking process. The meal at this time is usually poha, Besan Cheela , Missi Roti or a nice Peanut Butter Sandwich with fruit for those gains days. I make my peanut butter at home once a week.

Snack: most days are hectic with meetings at the clinic so I don’t get to nosh on anything until lunch time. On easy days, I like to sip on green tea and grab a fruit while noshing on some nuts.

Lunch: I am ravenous by lunch time. My afternoon meal is typically a large plate with lentils (chickpeas, kidney beans, Moong, Masoor, Soybean) with a big serving of White Rice. I try and incorporate some veggies and some salad for roughage.

Evening : I like to grab a green tea or matcha latte if I’m in a meeting or out for shoots. If I am at the clinic- it is either herbal tea or tea with soy milk as I avoid regular milk.

Pre-Workout : I like to wrap up by day by 630 so that I can make it to the gym on time. My pre workout snack is usually a banana or an apple with a cup of strong black coffee. I make it a point to train at least 5 times a week.

Dinner : I am famished post my workout and like to come home to dinner which is typically 3 rotis with vegetables. I treat myself to some dark chocolate and fruit post the meal. If I am up late working or reading- I like to sip on a herbal, decaffeinated tea like rose tea.

Supplements: I don’t believe in consuming anything that comes in a box. Instead, I prefer unprocessed , raw and fresh food that is easy to source and locally available.

Cheat Days: I allow myself a cheat day every week where I eat whatever I am craving whether its a pizza, a burger, some dessert or an ice cream. Moderation is key but a cheat day in the week allows me to give in to my cravings without wanting to binge through the week.
