Rachel starts by roughly chopping up one apple into small pieces, placing them in a large mug and drizzling over a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of water and microwaves for 90 seconds.
She then puts a packet of brown sugar cinnamon quick oats in a bowl with a spoonful of dairy free butter and uses her fingers to combine.

To ensure she gradually builds muscle, Rachel eats more calories than her body burns every day, but she admitted a calorie surplus can be difficult to stick to.
‘Honestly with my busy schedule I personally find a calorie surplus can be quite hard to adhere to, so preparation is KEY!!!’ she wrote on Instagram.
To hit her daily targets, she eats three meals, a healthy morning snack and an afternoon dessert she eats before dinner.

Rather than eating dessert after dinner, Rachel enjoys waffles and chocolate ice crema topped with ice cream at 4:30pm.
‘Yes I always eat dessert before dinner,’ she wrote.
By 6:30pm she sits down to have a bowl of crispy salmon with pasta and and a leafy green salad.
