Professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, 36, has provided insight into her diet, which she credits with helping her maintain her physique. Bychkova, who previously competed on Strictly Come Dancing, described a daily food intake rich in fresh ingredients.

Her week's food budget for herself and her daughter, Mila, 10, ranges from £80 to £120. Bychkova's typical day begins with either Greek yogurt, berries, and honey, or eggs served with avocado on sourdough toast.

For lunch, she opts for grilled chicken or salmon accompanied by a substantial salad or a generous portion of vegetables. On colder days, she prefers homemade soup.

Dinner typically consists of meat or fish paired with vegetables and a healthy carbohydrate source such as sweet potato, quinoa, or buckwheat.

During training sessions, Bychkova consumes protein shakes, yogurt, or cottage cheese as snacks. For an occasional sweet indulgence, she will have a few squares of dark chocolate.

She reportedly drinks alcohol infrequently, reserving champagne for special occasions, and emphasizes hydration with water. Her evening routine includes a morning coffee and peppermint tea before bed.

Bychkova, who is Ukrainian, was not part of the Strictly lineup earlier this year. She has since expressed interest in returning to the BBC series in a different role, potentially as a choreographer, and has reportedly held discussions about appearing on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.
