Neeraj Chopra has once again etched his name in India's history by clinching the nation's first-ever gold medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championship in Budapest. 

His extraordinary accomplishments on the field have sparked an equal fascination among fans for his off-field life, which encompasses his eating preferences and dietary routine.

In a recently resurfaced interview with ESPN, the javelin thrower shared insights into his culinary preferences and dietary choices.

On match days, I don't like to eat anything that's too fatty.  prefer eating things like salads or fruits. I also like to eat things like grilled chicken breast and eggs", he said. 

Neeraj Chopra's regular culinary choice may seem surprisingly simple – a combination of bread and omelette.

While he usually refrains from sugary treats, his victory celebrations occasionally call for something sweet.

Homemade churma, a traditional Indian dessert made from crushed roti, sugar, and ghee.

The golden boy is also very fond of gol gappas', a popular Indian street food.
