Akshay Kumars undoubtedly one of Bollywoods fittest actors. Hes extensively trained in martial arts, prefers doing his own stunts and is an overall badass in the gym (yes, this is a subtle cue to the bottle cap challenge he inspired Bollywood stars to partake last year). And, of course, weve all heard the urban legend of Kumar being an early riserwaking up at 4 am and hustling in the gym while were hitting the snooze button again and again.

A part of this urban legend also dictates that he's a teetotaller and eats only healthy, home-cooked meals throughout the day and often even packs extra home-food for his co-stars.

Recently, we came to know that for close to two years now, Pod Supply, a Mumbai-based food service has been assigned the job to prep his meals for him. In a conversation with GQ, Pod Supplys co-owner, Anmol Singhal tells us that theyve curated Kumars diets for Housefull 4 along with other upcoming projects such as Sooryavanshi, Laxmmi Bomb and Prithviraj.

Akshay (Kumar) believes in staying fit and is also in great shape365 days a yeareven when hes holidaying. He doesnt just eat right or stay in shape or a specific movie, role or character, he eats well and takes care of his body for himself. He loves fitness. It is his lifestyle. He likes eating clean, healthy and less spicy food, which is also less in salt, he says.

And, a little over a month ago, hes actually started following a vegan diet plan, he adds.

This vegan diet plan comprises a variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which keep changing according to Kumars daily routine and nutritional requirements. We ask Singhal to name a few below.

Chia pudding with berries

Avocado on toast

Moong dal chilla/Jowar pancakes, chutney

Also, in case youve ever wondered what his daily routine is like, Singhal tells us about a day in Kumars life from a week ago.

Says Singhal, he wakes up around 4:30-5:00 am in the morning and trains at a gym in his home. Hes built a special gym in his house, which lacks any stairs as he believes that humans were born as monkeys and the only way to go from one floor to another is via ropes or jumping from one point to another. This forms as a great cross training routine.

He trains for an hour or so and at then at 6:30 am he eats his breakfast and right after that hes off to work. Notably, hes the one actor who shoots through the day and has an excellent work ethic.

Let me tell you about his schedule from a week ago: he took a chopper to a studio to finish off an ad film in two hours, came back and went to Yash Raj Studio to shoot for Prithviraj, and from there went to Mehboob Studio to shoot for another film.

He has his lunch anytime between 12-12:30 pm in the afternoon and after that he has his evening snack - for which we serve him walnut milk and berry smoothies and sandwiches and then he has his dinner by 6:30 pm. Only if hes on a night shoot or shooting through the night, which he tries to avoid, because he hates staying up late, he ends up eating his meals by 10:30 pm.

So while clearly early to bed and early to rise is one of Kumar's fitness commandments, let us do you another solid and share this feature on how sleep deprivation affects your appearance.
