Ashley Tisdale loves food and her co-workers from the Hellcats know it best. Even if she eats a lot, the 5’3? actress has never been in better shape and fitter like she is now.
The 25-year-old might be eating a lot, but she makes sure to burn those calories fast by going to the gym and working out as often as possible.
“I eat a lot of food,” she admits. “The guys are like, ‘You eat more than we do!’ It’s kind of crazy. I eat food for the energy, and obviously I have to eat a lot because I’m burning so much.”
Her diet consists of six meals a day and she avoids certain carbs that are not good for her. Tisdale prefers eating apples, hummus, celery, almond butter, as well as fish, steak or turkey. Even if her diet includes high-protein foods that supply her with plenty of energy, Tisdale still can’t give up coffee. And not just any coffee.
“Coffee! Folger’s, actually, with Coffee Mate. It’s the one thing I just can’t give up,” she admits.
Tisdale uses all that energy throughout her workouts. Six times a week, she practices kickboxing and weight lifting one-hour-sessions with her personal trainer.
“It’s [kickboxing] great for cardio. It’s great for your abs and your whole body. Weight training is great for toning up and leaning up without bulking up. But the kickboxing is really amazing because it just works everything at once,” she explains.
The actress says that all her efforts are not about losing weight, but about being toned and feeling good about herself.
