In multiple interviews, Rana has expressed his love for non-vegetarian cuisines and said that he loves to indulge in some spicy Chettinad chicken delicacies and constantly eats rice-based dishes such as idlis and dosas.

According to the actor, during his transformation for the project he did not make any massive changes in his diet and ate everything that he used to eat on any other day. He confessedthat he had to eat five-eight meals a day.

What he did mention specifically is that he doesnt have a sweet tooth and that he keeps himself away from anything sweet.

However, Ranas trainer Kunal Gir is a sucker for a well-balanced diet who leans towards a diet full of vegetables and milk proteins as mentioned in his interview with The Indian Express.

According to workoutinfoguru.comRanas diet therefore consists of a blend of all the important macro nutrients in nearly perfect proportions.

Lunch: Fish/Chicken for protein along with greens.

Snack 2: Four slices of brown bread and four bananas before starting the evening weight training.

Dinner: Around 9 PM, Rana used to consume a high-protein dinner in order to repair the muscle tissues after punishing them with weight training overnight. He also adds a salad to this meal..

Overall, Rana is a very active person and likes to be on his feet rather than sitting in one spot for hours. According to GQ Indiahe starts his day with an hour of cardio every morning followed by two-hours in the gym, typically weight training in the evening after he's done shooting his films.

Since Rana was also a boxer during his high-school years, he likes to mix it up from time to time.

While preparing for the second movie of the Baahubali series, his trainer Kunal Gir worked on his physique while paying special focus to his chest and biceps. According to yet another GQ India interview, Kunal would divide Rana's weight training sessions into 9-10 sets for each muscle group, divided into three different exercises.
