Although Nando's might seem like an unhealthy meal choice, the South African fast-food chain is a surprisingly nutritious and balanced post-workout meal – depending on what you order of course.

Chicken is one of the best foods to eat following an intense workout. It contains lots of essential proteins that help promote muscle repair and muscle growth. According to Live Strong: "Opting for a whole food, such as brown rice, after a workout provides you with fiber and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals."
The star has reportedly been working on her mental health following her split from bandmates Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall last year.

In a recent candid post where she opened up about her restrictive eating, she wrote: "Even when I got to a size 8 from starving myself, I still wasn’t happy. I mentally bullied myself every day to try to please other people. It’s taken me 10 years to realise that I’m the only person I need to please." We love seeing her so happy and healthy!
