She would begin her day with a glass of lukewarm water, followed by a bowl of muesli mixed with skimmed milk and flax or sunflower seeds.

An hour before going to the gym, she would consume whole-wheat bread coupled with 2 only-white omelet eggs and fruits either papaya or apples. Then, after she worked out she ate 5 boiled eggs but without the yellow in it. This was usually her breakfast meal.

For lunch, she would consume chapatis that were made from either bajra, jowar, nachni, soya, chana, or rajgira rather than wheat. She would enjoy it best with a spoon of white butter. To go with that, she would eat a dal and sabzi of any kind made in a moderate quantity of fresh oil and a bit of olive oil sprinkled from the top. To add to the flavor, she would have a bowl of dahi or a glass of chaas. For non-vegetarian meals she enjoyed eating grilled chicken sandwiches made from brown bread and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots topped with either honey mustard, hummus, or green chutney and would prefer to avoid trans-fat food such as butter. On some days, she would eat homemade chicken curry cooked in little oil with brown rice in a measured quantity of 500 to 400 calories and under 80 grams of grams.

Her diet also includes an evening that consists of fruits like papaya, apples, pears, or guavas. Followed by a cup of green tea with almonds and walnuts. At 7 pm, she would eat a bowl of salad that included various fruits and vegetables such as walnuts, dried berries, apples, and balsamic vinegar.

As for her dinner, she would consume either grilled fish or chicken. If she were eating a vegetarian dish then, Bhumi would have grilled panner or tofu along with stir fry or steamed vegetables. She would eat either of them with brown rice or a thin multigrain roti.
