Hrithik Roshan Diet
Hrithik Roshan's abs were probably built in the kitchen because the actor follows a strict healthy diet, with minimal oil and loads of proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The actor believes in eating healthy and balanced meals. Egg whites, chicken and fish are his preferred dietary sources of protein, as all of these help in building lean muscle and cutting out fat. He also makes sure he involves a lot of stir-fried or steamed vegetables in his daily meals, and loves eating broccoli in particular. After every workout, he waits for about 45 minutes before eating and keeps an interval of at least two hours between each meal. But the actor cheats on his diet as well and his preferred choice of dessert is chocolate.
