Milind Soman has just completed two full-distance Ironman triathlons in six days, but his post-race food choices were not anything fancy. After completing Ironman Wales on September 13 and Ironman Italy on September 19, the 60-year-old actor and fitness enthusiast has been sharing glimpses of what he eats. He shared a picture of a plate of rajma and rice after completing the Ironman.
On Sunday morning, he also posted a photo on his Instagram Stories showing watermelon and avocado.
Earlier, he had shared a picture of himself sipping tea. One person in the comments section remarked that Milind had once said in an interview that he did not drink tea or coffee. "I do now, once in a while, not a habit," he replied.

Milind Soman has often said that he does not follow a strict diet or count calories. In a previous conversation with Pinkvilla, he spoke about how much fruit he eats. "I eat a whole papaya, or maybe two if they are small. I eat half a watermelon," he said.

He has also spoken about his love for khichdi, cashews, ghee and jaggery. Sometimes, he adds a little muesli or some dry fruits.

He also revealed that his eating habits have been similar since his school days. Milind recalled that he once used to eat around 250 grams of chocolate every day before cutting down on sugar.
