and this is "Everything I Eat in a Day".

It's a lot.(chuckles)

(soft music)

So on my channel,

I have a series called, "Challenge Accepted"

and in each episode,

I explore different community,

lifestyle or profession.

Whether it's training with the U.S. Marine Corps

or experiencing what it's like

to be an Olympic figure skater.

So my daily routine

and what I eat in a day

tend to vary a lot.

But here are the basics pretty much.

The first thing that I do when I wake up,

is immediately like hug Gared,

he's my fiance

and after that of course,

like everybody else,

I'm already sweating thinking

about how embarrassing this is,

I grab my phone

and check every social media

because surprise, I'm a millennial,

that's what we do I guess.

After some time passes,

I usually get up

and for breakfast,

the first thing that I have

is a big, big glass of water

and I also love overnight oats.

And I feel like me conceptually,

overnight oats,

like I wanna do as little as possible

so I love MUSH overnight oats.

It's this brand that I actually found

on Shark Tank actually.(chuckles)

Thank you Mark Cuban I guess.

And if I'm feeling really hungry and frisky,

I'll have a smoothie with that as well.

I love the Urban Remedy strawberry smoothie,

they're super good.

Because of active I have to be

in the chalLenges I'm doing,

a lot of people ask me

if I drink caffeine,

I don't.

But if I'm about to go

into a really big day on set or training,

I will have a big cup caffeinated tea

and I find that this deprivation technique

becomes very effective

when I do need the caffeine.(chuckles)

So usually after I have breakfast,

I'll do a little bit of work

and then we'll head on over to the gym

or an outdoor workout.

I love getting in a good sweat

and then coming home and getting hungry

and ready for lunch.

Do I get hungry?

Gared's smiling behind camera right now

and I'm not liking it.

But, yes, I plead guilty,

I get hungry, I need food.(chuckles)

So after I work out,

I have a vegan protein shake.

I love the Organic brand,

not sponsored guys,

it's just really that good.

Also comes in these pre-made little cartons

that are really great on the go.

So for lunch, I usually like

to do kind of a big salad mix

of a variety of different things.

And I always include a protein of some kind,

whether it is a grilled chicken

or grilled fish.

I hate the term leafy greens,

what does that even mean?

Like I don't wanna think about leaves

when I'm eating lunch

but sure, leafy greens,

like a kale or arugula.

My favorite leafy green is spinach actually.

So I'll do like some spinach

with a little bit of miso ginger dressing,

get a little bit of that spice in there.

Also, I am a huge, huge fan of mushrooms.

I am obsessed with mushrooms,

I put them on everything,

anytime I eat out,

I always ask for mushrooms

to be added to my dish.

I am also a very pro-carb person

so I'll usually have a slice of bread

or a bit of rice.

In the past when I've tried depleting carbs from my diet,

it doesn't work out for me,

I'm still really hungry,

so I just love eating everything.

I'm a very hungry person.

- You steal my bread.

- You don't like the tortilla.

I don't know what to tell you,

you don't eat the tortilla

from Mendocino Farms

so I'm not gonna let it go to waste.

Okay, what's next?(laughs)

Around the middle of the afternoon,

I'll usually have another snack of some kind.

Whether it's a handful of almonds

or maybe a protein bar

or, I'm gonna be honest with you guys,

sometimes, I just have a chocolate bar.

I feel like there are a lot

of like health and fitness influencers

who put on this very, very pristine image

of who they are and what they eat.

But girl, sometimes,

we just gotta have a chocolate bar,

in the afternoon,

on a Tuesday,

for no reason.

So then for dinner,

by the time I get to the end of the day,

I'm very exhausted.

We got a great workout in,

your girl sent some well-crafted emails,

we whealed and deal,

we got through the day,

it's time to eat.

So Gared and I,

again because we're limited

in our expertise in the kitchen,

love making homemade chicken tacos.

Lemme tell you guys,

this recipe, it's so good,

it's from Nordstrom Flavors Cookbook

but basically we take this,

white meat, ground chicken

and we cook it up

with some garlic, cilatro

and Gared makes this amazing

homemade cilantro, lime vinegarette.

It's really fun,

we feel really professional

and chef like even though

it's probably one of two recipes

we actually know how to do

because besides that,

we just do Home Chef

and Postmates.

It's quarantine guys,

what else are we gonna do.

Some of our favorite places

to Postmates from include,

Sweetgreen, Mendocino Farms

and also something that we love doing

is choosing restaurants

off the Black-Owned Restaurants tab of Postmates,

it's been a really awesome,

and honestly simple and straightforward way

to give back to the community.

So here's huge confession, embarrassment time.

I am Indian and I think a lot of Indian people

especially in my family

pride themselves on being able

to handle that Asian level of spiciness, I cannot.

One time I had the opportunity

to try the spiciest pepper in the world

and it was the worst experience of my life

and I'm never doing it again.

I like everything just milled.

Cheat meal, I'm all about it guys.

So recently, we were celebrating

the launch of my new show,

"Karma", on HBO Max

and it was so much fun

and to celebrate,

I went all out.

We got lobster pasta,

we got cacciatore pasta,

I'm probably pronouncing it wrong,

I love pasta.

We got seven different kinds of pasta,

guacamole, chips, homemade cookies

and a brownie.

So I'm kind of an all or nothing type person

and anytime I have an indulgence meal

it's always pasta.

And that is everything I eat in a day.

Thank you so much for watching

and be sure to check out "Karma" on HBO Max.
