Pre- and post-workout meals: Depending on how hungry she is or if it's a pre- or post-workout meal, Anshula has a fruit with nuts or nut butter as a snack.
Sometimes, it's an egg sandwich or a vegetable sandwich, or some chicken and vegetable kebabs, or a protein shake with some nuts, or a thepla or two.
Dinner: Usually comprises roasted chicken or tandoori chicken with grilled vegetables on the side, or ragi rotis with boneless chicken cooked Indian style, with a bowl of sabzi (Indian curry).
Post-dinner snack:"I stay up late. So, if I get hungry post-dinner, it's usually a protein shake or a small protein-based snack or the most gooey chocolate cakes, the ones with the molten lava in the middle," Anushula added.
Workout Routine
Talking about her workout routine, Anshula shared that it is designed by her trainers Priyanka Mehta and Swapneel Hazare at Shield Fitness.
"The trainers keep changing my program, but it's basically a strength workout with some functional training thrown into the mix towards the end of each session. In a good week, 4 times a week we do strength training four times and 1-2 days, I end up doing cardio," she said.

What Being 'Healthy' Means To Anshula
Anshula Kapoor shared a heartfelt Instagram post where she beautifully expressed what being "healthy" truly means to her.
She wrote, "For me today, being 'healthy' means so much more than what I look like in the mirror. One of my first steps to becoming a healthier me was to acknowledge that mentally I wasn't in the best place, and that I had to address what was eating me from the inside before I could even begin working on anything else."
She added, "This was the most uncomfortable part. And the most difficult part too. It took so much therapy. So many tears. So much uncertainty. Fear. Setbacks. Discomfort. Self-doubt. Then came the self-realisations. Thus began the healing. It's been a 2-year-long journey, and I'm still a work in progress."
