- Taylor Fritz loves Chipotle.
- The American tennis star told Insider that it's a regular part of his diet ahead of tournaments.
- He also said he loves eating McDonald's and In-N-Out Burger.
The US tennis star Taylor Fritz is in the form of his life.
After winning his first ever ATP Masters 1000 tournament at Indian Wells in March, where he beat Rafael Nadal in the final, the 24-year-old then made it to the fourth round of the Miami Open before making it to the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters in April.
At this month's French Open, he is looking to make it to the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time ever. He made a good start on Monday when he bested Argentina's Santiago Rodriguez Taverna in a five-set thriller in the first round.
The secret to Fritz's recent success on the court? Regular trips to Chipotle, according to the man himself.
"When I'm training, I typically start off with just a coffee and then something with protein, like egg whites," Fritz told Insider of his diet in the run-up to the French Open.
"After practice, I'll then have lunch. For me the lunches depend on the workout for the day, you know, if it's like a really tough workout, then I might get something a little heavier like Chipotle bowl.
"If it wasn't like a crazy workout, then I maybe have like a salad with a lot of protein. It kind of just depends on how many calories I feel like I'm burning."
Asked what he typically asks for in his Chipotle bowls, Fritz said: "You can be unhealthy with your bowl if you want to get like a ton of cheese on it, but you can also just go in and get chicken, rice, vegetables, and guacamole and that's a great meal after you've just worked out.
"I think a lot of people don't understand how good it is as a post-workout meal. It's got everything."
Fritz also insisted on the importance of having cheat meals, especially off the back of tournaments.
"The times where I've been extremely strict with myself, not letting myself have cheat meals, it's just not fun and I hate it," he said.
"I think it's just healthier to just eat some cheat meals here and there. It's really important."
The world number 14 said his go to cheat meal is usually a McDonald's, but he also likes In-N-Out Burger.
"I love In-N-Out for sure," he said. "Or for breakfast I love like a McDonald's with those hash browns and then a sugary iced coffee."
Fritz takes on Spaniard Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the second round of the French Open on Wednesday.
