- Hi guys, I'm Lana Condor
and this is everything I eat in a day.
Okay, so I eat a lot, just in general huge amounts of food.
I have always been this way ever since I was little.
And I also am not the type of person
that can eat the same thing every day.
Like I crave and thrive off of variation.
But I'm just gonna give you like my baseline structure
of what I eat in a day,
keeping in mind that it changes quite often.
But here we go!
So when I wake up in the morning,
the first thing that I do is Anthony makes me green tea
with antioxidants.
I used to be a huge, huge coffee drinker.
And I am a coffee drinker while I'm working.
But if I'm not working, tea is the way to go.
I cannot do anything.
I cannot function properly.
I literally can't even speak unless I have my morning tea.
And then after that, I will take Emmy for a walk.
We'll take Emmy for a walk and then we'll come back
to the house and then it's breakfast time!
Breakfast time is my favorite time!
Lunchtime is also my favorite time.
And dinnertime's my favorite time.
But for breakfast, I get super excited
because typically when I fall asleep the night before,
I literally am only thinking about
what I'm gonna have for breakfast.
Kind of my go to breakfast is actually something
that Anthony makes me,
which is super, super sweet and delicious,
but it's scrambled eggs
with a little tiny bit of tomato sauce
and then Morning Star veggie breakfast links cut up
and put into the scramble.
So the scramble's like eggs with marinara sauce
and Morning Star sausage.
Listen, do not knock it until you try it.
It is so, so, so delicious, and I'm a big tomato girl.
I eat tomatoes in like every single meal.
And then we'll typically do avocado
with some olive oil drizzled over
and a crack of salt and everything but the bagel seasoning
from Trader Joe's, which is my jam.
And I carry it in my purse when I'm working.
And actually fun story about that is I was working
in Vancouver a while back,
and I hadn't brought the everything but the bagel seasoning
with me and I was distraught.
So I had one of my friends who was coming
to visit me from the States buy it
at Trader Joe's and bring it to me in Canada.
I'm not much of a snacker.
I'm more of an entree-er.
Like why eat a snack when you can eat a full meal?
But if I do snack, I'll snack on,
like after breakfast, maybe like two hours
after breakfast, I'll be hungry again
and I will eat canned sardines or canned oysters.
Now I know that sounds kind of weird and kind of gross.
But it really, really is amazing.
With the canned sardines,
I'll just put just a little extra crack
of Himalayan salt on it
and I'll just eat it right out of the tin.
And then the remaining juices I'll pour over my dog's food
and she loves it and she eats it up really, really quick.
And then with the oysters, I just, honestly,
I'll just dip in a fork and eat the oysters,
the canned oysters raw.
I will also sometimes like have like some wheat thins
with the oysters and I'll put like the oyster
on the wheat thins and eat it.
And actually that snack came to me from someone
that I worked with on one of my very, very early movies.
Occasionally if I'm, you know, running around,
sometimes I love sea salt and vinegar chips.
Like I have to have sea salt and vinegar chips in my house.
But I'm a weirdo because I only like to eat them
when they're folded.
Like I only like to eat it when they're folded.
So like when you get a chip that looks more like a taco,
yes, that's, that's me!
I want the folded ones.
So that's my snack and now it is lunchtime.
The thing that I eat a lot of the time
during lunchtime is a poke bowl.
I think poke is so, so delicious.
And I'm fortunate enough to live in the Pacific Northwest
where the fish is just so, so, so, so fresh.
So I will get poke and I will get salmon.
I'll get a scoop of salmon, a scoop of spicy tuna.
I just like ponzu and a very light like mayo,
spicy mayo, tuna on it with edamame and furikake
and over a bed of a salad and a bed of rice
and tons and tons of ginger
and tons and tons of seaweed salad.
I love that for lunch because I feel like it really fills me
up without making me feel like sleepy.
And I love all the fresh, fresh ingredients.
And I love fresh, raw fish.
I'm just such a huge, huge, fresh, raw fish person.
That's why I love sushi.
I also eat a ton of sushi during lunch.
If I'm trying to be a healthy person,
which is not often, I will eat a salad for lunch.
But mind you, that salad will have like a ton
of cheese on it and probably something pretty crispy,
like a crouton, but like, like 75% crouton,
25% salad.
So then we are on to wait, wait!
Actually, I guess I'll tell you.
I'll have like an iced green tea with lunch
to kind of keep my energy up through the day.
And then I'm a very big water drinker.
So I'm constantly drinking water throughout the day.
So yeah, I'm drinking water throughout the day
and then at dinnertime, which is another,
like as soon as it's dinnertime, my mood is lifted.
Everything in me says
(deep breath) you're in the right place.
And so for dinner, I without a doubt will eat noodles.
If I'm not on a diet for my job or for anything,
I will eat noodles every single day for dinner without fail.
You can fact check me on it cause I will do it.
I cannot go a day without noodles.
If you opened me up, you would just see noodles.
I'm dead serious.
For dinner, my like go to is I'll make spaghetti
and homemade marinara sauce
with onions and basil and garlic.
I like more sauce on.
Like I'm a big sauce person on my, on my spaghetti.
And then I will fry up some really amazing
Italian chicken sausages that I get from Trader Joe's.
I love them.
I just cut them up, fry them up,
and add them to the pasta, drizzle some olive oil,
extra, extra-virgin, very stinky olive oil over my pasta,
and then put some Pecorino Romano cheese on it.
I typically like Pecorino over Parmesan.
I just do that's, I like the stinkier cheese.
And if I'm not doing that, I'll do like a bowl of ramen
or a bowl of udon.
Literally, I just had a physical reaction.
My mouth just like all of the saliva just gushed
into my mouth right now.
I'll do udon with fish cakes and shrimp tempura,
chow mein, you know.
Ooh, I have a great fusilli alla vodka.
But it has to be a noodle.
And it always goes with a glass of wine.
Currently, I really, really love like a Sauvignon blanc,
like a white.
If I'm feeling feisty,
I'll have a glass of a really nice red wine.
That is pretty much all I eat and drink during the day.
Oh, that's, that's a dang lie, Lana!
You just lied to the world!
After dinner when I've gotten all ready for bed
and I'm laying in bed and then I have the bedtime treat,
which is typically a bag of sea salt and vinegar chips,
the Kettle sea salt and vinegar chips.
I just, I have them at the ready.
I also have seaweed at the ready at all times.
That's another snack that I just do all day long.
But yeah,
I do definitely get the midnight munchies for sure.
Yeah and I think, oh, I think something
that's super important that I wanted to mention
in this video is that I am an Aerie real role model,
which is super duper exciting.
And actually like literally everything
that I'm wearing is Aerie right now
up to my scrunchie that I have on my hand.
Not planned, but worked out perfectly.
Definitely, definitely check
out Aerie's new summer collection,
a lot of great things to wear
if you're just eating all day long.
So definitely check that out.
And yes, thank you so much for having me.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
And have a beautiful, beautiful day.
