Talk about a “Hungry Heart”: Coldplay singer Chris Martin has revealed he now follows Bruce Springsteen’s intermittent fasting plan and only eats one meal per day.
“I actually don’t have dinner anymore,” the already lanky Martin said on a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. “I stop eating at [4:00 p.m.] and I learned that from having lunch with Bruce Springsteen.”
He continued, “I was lucky enough to go over there to lunch the day after we played Philadelphia last year. I was on a really strict diet anyway. But I was like, ‘Bruce looks even more in shape than me,’ and [Springsteen’s wife] Patti said he’s only eating one meal a day. I was like, ‘Well, there we go. That’s my next challenge.’”

Though Martin wouldn’t spill the beans about the actual meal they shared, O’Brien joked it was a “giant vat of beef chili” and the singer quipped it was a “flank of buffalo with a steroid sauce.”
