Narayani Shashtri, TV actor
Height: 5 feet 5 inches
Weight: 53 kgs
Breakfast: During summer, I generally have a glass of neem juice just after I wake up because it’s good for health and clears my system. After two hours, I have one or two mangoes.
Lunch: I have chapattis or rice and vegetables. I don’t eat chunks of meat but enjoy the curry of a non-vegetarian dish. I don’t have a huge appetite.
Mid meals: I eat every two hours in small quantities. As I don’t have a huge appetite, I can afford to eat at regular intervals. I have salads, sprouts, fruits, sandwich, and omelette- anything that is healthy.
Allergic to: Sweets. Hence I don’t have a sweet tooth at all.
Dinner: I have my dinner before 8 pm. Since I eat every two hours, I eat whatever is cooked at night. I know it’s not good to have rice and go to bed. But since I have an early dinner, sometimes I have rice, dal and veggies.
Work out: I work out every day after I pack up, which is generally quite late at night. I alternate with cardio and weights.
Says nutritionist Naini Setalvad:
BREAKFAST: This could be best vice-versa. Narayani’s breakfast is too little while dinner is the heaviest of all the meals, so she could increase the quantity of fruits at breakfast time.
LUNCH: Salads need to be added at lunch time. Avoid red meat completely. Alternatively fish is a better option or chicken (without skin).
MID MEALS: Her mid meals, even though in small quantities, could be mixed with raw veggies e.g. salads with sprouts, sandwiches with vegetable slices and omelette with veggies mixed in it.
DINNER: For dinner, shift to brown rice instead of white rice.
EXERCISE: It’s completely against nature to exercise at night. The body needs to rest, digest, assimilate the food and work towards repairing and rejuvenating cells, tissues, nerves, bone muscles. The metabolic rate is at the lowest level at night. By exercising at late hours, this rate is pushed up and hence rest repair and rejuvenating work is disturbed and thrown completely off gear.
