To start off his day on the right foot, Hemsworth kicks off his meal plan with a daily smoothie.

"Chris' day always starts with a large green shake made up of 5-6 different types of leafy greens and vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, nuts, seeds, fats and small amounts of sea salt to aid in electrolyte balance, nerve transmission and glucose metabolism," Sergio Perera, a chef who works with Hemsworth, told Men's Health.

To ensure he's eating enough protein to fuel his muscle gains, Hemsworth typically bulks up his meat intake.

"Chris eats a bit more red meat than usual, but limits it to daytime as it requires more energy to digest. This is unless he trains later in the evening, in which case he may have a lamb chop after his workout," Perera told Men's Health.

"It's just heavy weight lifting, training at least once a day, sometimes twice a day," Zocchi told Page Six of Hemsworth's workout routine, noting that the star also integrates boxing and HIIT into his exercise plan.
