TRAIN LIKE JAMES BOND

Closer look at Daniel Craig’s workout routine and diet plan

Okay, first off, who doesn’t want to train like 007? The answer is no one. A lot of people have been wondering about Daniel Craig’s lifestyle since the release of Craig’s first James Bond movie Casino Royale. In all his Bond movies, Craig came in for filming in amazing physique.

How does he do it, one might ask? Consolidating fitness routines from movies like Skyfall and the upcoming No time to die, we present the Daniel Craig James Bond workout and diet plan.

Breakfast

Eggs and toast

– James Bond (i.e. Daniel Craig) reportedly takes his eggs poached, not fried. He eats two of them for breakfast along with two slices of toast. Should you do the same, consider putting down the white bread and picking up the whole grain instead.

Snack #1

Protein shake

– All it takes is a quick stroll through the nearest weight room to hear pretty much everything you need to know about the benefits of protein shakes. Daniel Craig drinks them. You should too.

Fruits and nuts – When he’s not feeling the protein shake (and even when he is), Daniel Craig gets his snack on by way of nutritious fruits and healthy, fatty nuts.

Lunch

Meat

– Do you enjoy a lean cut of steak or quality chicken breast? So does Daniel Craig along with numerous other celebrities, all of whom implement protein-rich meats into their respective diets.

Fish – When not in the mood for meat, help yourself to some fish instead. Try to make it something that goes big on omega 3 fatty acids, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines, or albacore tuna.

Brown rice – It’s been reported that the fibre in brown rice helps lower cholesterol, prevent blood clots, and aid digestion. What more do you need to know?

Baked Potato – As an alternative to rice, Craig fancies himself the occasional baked potato. A quick word of advice: leave the skin on.

Snack #2

Protein shake

– It’s time for another snack and that means it’s time for another protein supplement.

Yogurt with nuts – We’ll assume that when Craig helps himself to some yogurt, it’s the kind that comes fortified with probiotics. Throw in some nuts and you have yourself a healthy snack.

Dinner

Meat

– The best part about turning mass into muscle? You can potentially chow down on steak or chicken breast twice a day, presuming you diet the Bond way.

Fish – Who’s down for some sashimi?

Leafy green vegetables – High in benefits and low in calories, leafy green veggies like spinach or broccoli are downright essential to any healthy diet.
