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.

At 10am she enjoys a 'bagel board' spread with fresh mango, passionfruit, strawberries, blueberries and cherry tomatoes (left). Lunch is often at 2pm in the afternoon and on this occasion Rachel made poached chicken with curry sauce, rice and a side of greens (right)

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.
