Wannabe vegan Carrie Underwoods 45-30-25 diet and what she eats in a day

Carrie Underwood isn’t just known for her powerhouse vocals — she’s also famous for her stellar physique. The country music star, who is performing today at Donald Trump’s inauguration, has admitted that she once obsessed over the wrong things but eventually shifted her focus from the numbers on the scale to prioritizing how she felt both physically and mentally.So how does she maintain her figure? The 41-year-old has shared details about her nutrient-dense 45-30-25 diet.Underwood describes herself as a “wannabe vegan” who’s made her primarily plant-based diet a key part of her regimen for staying healthy. The “Before He Cheats” singer, who once lived on quesadillas and pasta while on the road, made a dramatic shift in her eating habits after facing online trolls during her American Idol days.“I shouldn’t care what other people think about me,” Underwood told Women’s Health.But she admitted, “I knew I could be better for myself, and I let my haters be my motivators.”While touring with her Idol co-contestants, Underwood said she became obsessed with weight loss.

It escalated to the point where she, exercised excessively and ate as little as 800 calories a day — well below the recommended 1,600 to 2,400 daily amount for women.Underwood said her extreme regimen quickly started to backfire.“I would ‘fall off the wagon,’ then feel terrible and repeat the cycle,” she said.

“Your body is screaming out, I need more calories, I need more carbs!”With help from trainer Eve Overland and nutritionist Cara Clark, the singer found a healthier, more sustainable routine that works for her.She even launched the app fit52 to help others find balance in their diet and exercise regimens.Today, Underwood said she carefully tracks her calories and macronutrients, or the amount of protein, carbohydrates and fat she consumes daily.

Her ideal daily breakdown: 45% carbs, 30% fat, and 25% protein.Subscribe to our weekly Post Care newslette...
