Meet fitness model who works out for four hours a day and eats like a man as part of an extreme schedule for a beauty and fitness competition.

Maggie Russell, 20 is set to compete at the World Beauty, Fitness and Fashion competition on the Gold Coast on Saturday.

The 20-year-old hasn't eaten any carbohydrates and exercised twice a day, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.

'I train six days a week with weights and seven days a week cardio, twice a day,' Ms Russell said.

'It's very intense. I spend four hours a day in the gym. It's all strict dieting.'

The fitness model only consumes 1,100 calories a day and is currently eating only protein and vegetables.

On the day of the competition, which will require at least two spray tans, Ms Russell says she will eat rices cakes and a few lollies.

Ms Russell, who regularly documents her training progress to her 14,000 Instagram followers, also tries to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.

The World Beauty, Fitness and Fashion competition this weekend has been likened to a Victoria's Secret runway show but for body-builders, Daily Mail reports.
