Patrick O'Connor reveals his day on a plate

The Home and Away hunk opens up about his health and fitness - by Zoe Burrell
  • 11 Feb 2019

Home and Away star Patrick O’Connor, 26, might have a smile that makes you go weak at the knees, but it’s is washboard stomach that we can’t take our eyes off.

And, the actor, who plays Dean, has dished on how he gets his fab physique.

“My typical day on a plate is eggs and avocado on toast in the morning, pasta with a protein for lunch, and then grilled chicken with sweet potato for dinner,” he tells New Idea.

“I’ve actually been eating a bit of cereal as a snack during the day as well as some fruit, which is always a favourite go-to.”

Of course, those abs don’t just come from diet alone! The actor also reveals that he works hard to stay in shape.

“I try to go to the gym three or four times a week and mix that up with a bit of surfing and skateboarding,” he says.  “I’m pretty active.”

But, there is one habit that the actor is trying to kick.

“My goal is to drink less chocolate milkshakes,” he laughs.

“I’ve been having one a day for about two months straight - but it’s been so worth it because who doesn’t love a chocolate milkshake!”
