Winning Gives Andy Murray A Big Appetite
Winning Gives Andy Murray A Big Appetite | 
Andy Murray has no hesitation in chowing down after a match, with the Scot anxious to replace the missing calories. After spending nearly four hours to reach the fourth round and 48 hours later polishing off Canadian Milos Raonic to reach the quarters, Murray was thinking of nothing but where his next meal was coming from.
The player who in the past was known for knocking back 30-40 sushi rolls admits he needs plenty of healthy fuel to perform: “I eat a lot of protein, meat, fish. I have like protein shakes I take after the match. I try to get about 150 grams of protein in me, that helps repair the muscles. I need to eat a lot.
“You can lose two or three kilos so you have to drink properly. Obviously when you finish you’re still burning calories. I just need to make sure I stay topped up on that. If you don’t, you’ll be tired going into the next match.”
As he prepared to face the monster serve of Canadian Milos Raonic in the fourth round, Murray admitted that sushi would certainly be on the menu. “We actually had steak a couple nights ago, maybe tomorrow I’ll do that. For dinner I’ll have fish one night, chicken the next, then steak.”
