How Fergie Keeps Workin’ On Her Eating

My girl Fergie Ferg is not only a talented entertainer, she’s fit! She’s one of my inspirations in wanting to get in shape and live healthy. (I named my site after a line in one of her songs!) There are always pictures of her working out, and I always wondered what she ate on a daily basis to keep her figure lean and fit.

According to Life&Style magazine and also reported on FitSugar, here is an example of what she eats throughout the day by her nutritionist, Carrie Wiatt.

Seriously, I was so happy when I saw FitSugar’s post, I had to let my readers know about it, so read on to get the scoop of Fergie’s diet!

BREAKFAST: Six-egg-white veggie omelet, seasoned with salsa or hot sauce. Or an on to go breakfast: two slices of 100-percent whole-grain toast with 2 tablespoons of low-fat peanut butter.

That actually sounds pretty good, I never thought of having salsa with my eggs. And I love peanut butter with whole grain toast already, so I guess I’m doing something right!

MID-A.M. BITE: Top 4 ounces of low-fat or no-fat plain organic yogurt with 2 tablespoons of low-sugar granola (such as Bear Naked). “It’s low in sugar and has protein,” says Wiatt, who suggests pairing it with a bowl of fiber-filled berries. (Cottage cheese makes a great yogurt alternative.)

Sounds good too, definitely need to try the Bear Naked granola.

LUNCH: One of Fergie’s favs consists of mixed greens, a quarter of an avocado (for healthy fat), 4 ounces of shredded chicken (for protein) and half an antioxidant-rich grapefruit, all tossed with a nonfat dressing. (The same ingredients can be rolled into a 100-percent whole-grain tortilla!)

She’s definitely on track with her lunch too! I have yet to try grapefruit though!

MIDDAY SNACK: Light organic cheese (like a mozzarella stick or 1 ounce of Jarlsberg Lite) and rice crackers with flaxseed. (You can eat eight!) She never goes anywhere without first tucking fiber-filled Kashi bars into her purse.

I absolutely LOVE cheese, especially mozzarella!

PRE-SUPPER NOSH: Wiatt whips up a pureed vegetable soup — sans cream. At only 50 calories per cup, the small indulgence is super filling. Other lite treats? Carrots dipped in 2 tablespoons of hummus, a cup of air-popped popcorn or almonds!

Yum to popcorn and almonds! Definitely have to find a good veggie soup recipe…

DINNER: Salmon (rich in Omega-3’s, which make hair and skin shiny and prevent bloating) and half a cup of whole-wheat couscous. She piles on 2 cups of veggies and adds 2 tablespoons of chili sauce or honey Dijon mustard for flavor. (Grilled balsamic chicken, brown rice and a side of sauteed spinach is another great dinner option.)

Girl knows what she’s doing! Maybe I should hire her nutritionist…lol, I kid. I think these are all good ideas and I’m definitely going grocery shopping this weekend with these ideas in mind.
