Many people believe that players eat only boiled food or expensive superfoods. However, RCB batsman Devdutt Padikkal told that the truth is quite different from this. During a recent conversation, Devdutt told that most of the cricketers start their day with a simple but healthy breakfast like dosa, omelette and fruits.

What do you keep in mind for fitness?

According to Devdutt, he pays more attention to the quantity and balance of food. He believes that the body should get food as per its needs. He told that he likes to eat not for taste but keeping in mind the needs of the body. Therefore avoid eating more than necessary.

What is the favorite breakfast of cricketers?

Devdutt also broke a big myth. He said that people think that players do not eat normal food, whereas this is not at all the case. You will be surprised to know that most of the cricketers like to eat dosa, omelette and fruits for breakfast. Dosa is a tasty food. Besides, it is also considered beneficial for health, because it is made from rice.

Why only dosa and eggs?

The cricketer also told that eggs are an easy and good source of protein for the body. At the same time, dosa helps in fulfilling the need of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are very important to provide energy to the body in the morning and dosa is considered an easy option for this.

Fruits also play an important role

Fruits are considered very beneficial for health. The fruits included in breakfast help in providing essential vitamins, minerals and natural energy to the body. This is the reason why fruits are also given a special place in the diet of players.
