Salman Khan, even at the age of 60, continues to remain one of the most talked-about Bollywood stars when it comes to fitness. His physique often trends online, and many fans still look up to his workout discipline and food habits. Recently, in an interview with Variety India on their YouTube channel, he opened up about something that goes against typical diet culture. For him, there is no strict “cheat day” because, as he puts it, every day is already a cheat day in his own way.In the interview, Salman explained his simple but very direct approach to food and training. He said, “Every day is a cheat day for me. I’d rather spend that extra 20 minutes in the gym or the extra one hour in the gym, but I’ll eat what I’ll eat. I don’t do steamed.”He also spoke about how he balances food with protein needs. According to him, he does not overcomplicate meals and focuses on what his body requires. He added, “The amount of protein that I need to eat, I just eat…no matter how tasty the food is…I will take one tablespoon of rice. I don’t touch rotis. That’s it. And then whatever protein I need, I try to finish it with that one tablespoon of rice.”This idea of controlled eating, rather than complete restriction, forms the base of his daily routine.Home-Cooked Food Still Comes FirstDespite his fame and busy schedule, Salman Khan’s food preferences remain deeply tied to home-style cooking. As reported in interviews by his trainer Rakkesh R Uddiyar, the actor strongly prefers meals made at home, especially by his mother, Salma Khan.The trainer explained that no matter what is available, Salman usually insists on simple “ghar ka khana.” The preference is not just about taste, but comfort and routine that he has followed for years.What a Typical Day Looks LikeSalman’s daily meal structure is fairly simple and consistent, according to his trainer. In the morning, he usually starts with porridge, eggs, and fruits. Lunch is mostly home-cooked food that includes chicken or fish along with vegetables and salads. Vegetables are always kept as a major part of his plate.Carbohydrates are not completely avoided, but they are heavily controlled. Rice is eaten in very small portions, and rotis are something he reportedly avoids altogether. Even when it comes to indulgence, discipline remains in place.He is also known for his love of biryani, though it is consumed carefully while keeping his overall calorie intake in check, reportedly around 2000 calories.Fitness Approach: Balance, Not Extreme DietingSalman’s trainer has also mentioned that the actor does not follow any extreme fad diet. Instead, his approach is built around consistency, portion control, and regular training. His food intake may not look traditional on paper, but it works with his intense gym sessions and active lifestyle.His diet also shifts depending on film schedules. When preparing for action scenes, he reduces intake a couple of months in advance, and once shooting is complete, he returns to his normal routine.Simple Habits Behind His Long-Term FitnessAlong with regular meals, Salman has also shared simple food habits over time, including a quick homemade onion pickle made using onion, salt, fennel seeds, red chilli powder, kalonji, and mustard oil. These small additions reflect his preference for basic, familiar flavours rather than complicated diets.Overall, Salman Khan’s fitness routine is less about strict restrictions and more about balance between what he eats and how much he trains. His idea of “every day is a cheat day” may sound unusual, but it ultimately comes down to discipline in the gym and control on the plate, just in a very different form than modern diet trends.
