Personal trainer

As for her diet, she has stated that her training diet plan was a bit different than the diet she followed when preparing for a match. Barty’s breakfast would have a coffee, either banana or vegemite on toast with yogurt on normal days. After a workout, she usually drank a piece of fruit followed by a “good lunch” to fuel herself for the rest of the day. Post workout it was just afternoon coffee, a piece of fruit followed by a simple dinner of 4 or 5 vegetables.
