Jennifer Lopez turned 50 in 2018 though
you'd never be able to tell she's
arguably just as healthy and young
looking as ever and that's partly
because of the healthy diet the
celebrity follows so what does that
entail this is what the star typically
eats in a day despite her busy lifestyle
Jennifer Lopez isn't one to skip
breakfast according to the Stars food
diary published in people she often
starts the day with a smoothie that
includes a scoop of protein powder along
with strawberries blueberries
raspberries Greek yogurt honey lemon
juice and ice dietitian Keri Glassman
agrees with Lopez's breakfast choice
telling people a shake is a good start
to the day when on the run the combo of
protein from the powder and the yogurt
plus the carbs in the fruit will keep
her energized and satisfied even when
Lopez opts for a non smoothie breakfast
she makes sure to have some fruit
according to an Us Weekly interview with
Lopez's trainer and life coach dodd
romero the star relies on a diet of
complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal
which she'll top with a serving of fresh
berries more American adults than ever
before are indulging in caffeinated
coffee each day but Jennifer Lopez is
not one of them she told Us Weekly I
haven't had caffeine in years that
really wrecks your skin as you get older
she does however drink decaf although
Lopez generally abstains from alcohol as
well as caffeine she will occasionally
have a tiny bit of booze
she divulged to InStyle of course during
celebratory toasts everybody's like you
can't toast with water so I'll toast
with alcohol and just take a sip
Jennifer Lopez's diet isn't just about
what she doesn't drink as a lot of it is
about what she does guzzle which is
mainly water
daaad Romero revealed to us weekly that
Lopez starts her day with a glass of
water that contains fresh squeezed lemon
juice and that she keeps up her water
consumption throughout the day drinking
at least seven glasses of the stuff I
just drink it all day since the thing I
drink Lopez drinks plenty of water with
her food taking sips between each bite
she firms to hello magazine that she
firmly believes in hydrating before and
after exercising as well saying drinking
plenty of water especially before
workout can help you push harder and get
more out of your exercise routine
considering Lopez has been eating well
for decades she knows the tricks of the
trade one of those tricks she shared
with Hello magazine
involves packing her own snacks I always
carry fruit and veggies with me to give
me something to snack on between meals
she doesn't only snack on fruits and
veggies though Lopez's trainer Romero
revealed to us weekly that another one
of the stars go to nutritious snacks is
a handful of nuts Jennifer Lopez may eat
a healthy balanced breakfast but she
admitted to Us Weekly that she's still
starving come lunch time you know
probably like right before lunch I start
getting really hungry the star often
opts for salmon with a side of broccoli
zucchini and peppers drizzled with
vinaigrette other times she'll choose a
salad in the food diary she shared with
people the star had a salad of finely
chopped kale toasted pumpkin seeds
crumbled queso minced shallots and a
dressing of fresh lemon juice and extra
virgin olive oil
Romero explained to Us Weekly that Lopez
prefers lean protein like egg whites
chicken breast and sea bass and you've
probably deduced by now you won't see
JLo hitting up a vending machine or a
fast-food joint for lunch
Romero revealed to the publication she
stays away from processed foods and gets
her nutrients from Whole sources what
does a super fit and healthy star like
JLo eat for dinner as she told people
Jennifer Lopez eat simple nutritious
meals like grilled boneless skinless
chicken breasts sautéed Brussels sprouts
and baked yams with a pinch of sea salt
while dietitian Keri Glassman agreed
that this chicken dinner is an excellent
whole food meal she suggested it could
be improved with the addition of some
healthy fat along the lines of grass-fed
butter when she's not having chicken
Lopez also enjoys pork especially if
it's seasoned Puerto Rican style
according to her protein of choice she
enjoys the superfood quinoa telling us
weekly that the meat and gran combo
feels similar to the rice and beans she
frequently ate while growing up as Jenny
from the block you know a little bit of
rice and beans and cuz that's what I
grew up with as Jennifer Lopez told
hello magazine I'm a very social person
and love spending time with my friends
and family so when we go out to eat I
try to make healthy choices that means
she's going to scour the menu to find a
meal that fits her health-conscious
lifestyle
fortunately that hasn't proven to be too
difficult for the star since she's found
most of the restaurants she frequents to
offer healthy low-calorie meal options
her preference is usually for some kind
of salad or fish served with veggies now
that doesn't mean she dines at boring
restaurants or orders lackluster meals
Lopez and her man former Yankees star
baseball player Alex Rodriguez have been
known to frequent the New York City
restaurant quality needs at this
favorite dining spot Lopez has
reportedly ordered the crab and avocado
appetizer and split a porterhouse steak
entree with a-rod that's right Lopez
does eat red meat
according to Romero Lopez enjoys
grass-fed beef though she tries to
indulge in it no more than three to four
times a week Jennifer Lopez may follow
an incredibly clean diet but she still
has a sweet tooth I don't like giving up
yummy food like that's a big deal for me
her typical dessert according to her
food diary is a chocolate chip cookie
while Romero is aware of his clients
cookie weakness he hasn't noticed it
having any impact on her incredible
level of fitness and as dietician Keri
Glassman told People magazine a cookie
as an indulgence it's definitely okay
