What does Sonam Kapoor eat in a day? Let's find out (Source: Instagram/@sonamkapoor)

Sonam Kapoor knows how to balance strict diets despite being a hardcore foodie — and we are taking notes. In an Instagram video shared by Times Foodie, Sonam Kapoor walked us through everything she eats in a day to stay healthy, active, and radiant.

Morning

The video kicks off early in the morning as Sonam wakes up at 6 am and begins her day with a glass of warm water and lemon. Next, she whips up a cup of frothy collagen chocolate coffee. At around 6.45 am, she has 3 Brazil nuts that were soaked overnight. When the cameraperson asks, “No shot of apple cider vinegar?” she shakes her head and makes a face.

For breakfast, at 9.45 am, she enjoys a creamy omelette and toast with guacamole while attending team meetings.

Afternoon

She takes her lunch when the clock strikes 1.45 pm, and it usually is a plate of chicken arrabiata pasta. Around 4 pm, another cup of collagen chocolate coffee waits for her.

Evening

Dinner is at 5.15 pm — chicken on toast and a bowl of yoghurt and berries (strawberries and blackberries). And finally, around 7 pm, it’s time for a cup of steaming hot soup.

Decoding her meals

Anaswara Lashmi PS, dietitian, dept. of clinical nutrition, Amrita Hospital, Kochi, told us that starting the day with lemon water helps boost immunity, since lemon’s high vitamin C content enhances the immune system, which is crucial for preventing illnesses. Lemon offers antioxidants, and its acidity stimulates digestive enzymes that aid in metabolism.

Adding that having this concoction before coffee makes it easier for your gut to digest the caffeine, she said: “Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can cause issues like acidity, heartburn, and potential blood sugar fluctuations, so it’s best to have something before that.” Further, Brazil nuts, known for their being rich in selenium is a healthy choice, and soaking them prior to eating only enhances the benefits, especially for thyroid patients. “Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures,” she mentioned.

Breakfast and lunch have an adequate portion of protein and carbohydrates, with eggs and chicken balancing out the bread and pasta. “The bowl of yoghurt and berries offer a powerful punch that is rich in proteins and fibre along with antioxidants. It helps keep the tummy full and controls hunger. The combination is also rich in probiotics which can help maintain gut health,” she explained. And finally, the soup adds a portion of antioxidants and healthy fibres that keep one full and satiated while nourishing the body.

However, if you are an avid holistic science follower, Dr Anshu Vatsyan, an Ayurveda expert, told indianexpress.com that Ayurveda classifies certain food combinations as compatible and incompatible. “Fruits, especially citrus fruits such as strawberries, grapes, oranges, amla, etc, should not be taken with milk or yoghurt. This is because this combination can lead to gastritis and a host of other gut health issues,” she said.
