- Hi, my name is Michelle Khare,
and this is "Everything I Eat in a Day".
It's a lot.(chuckles)
(soft music)
So on my channel,
I have a series called, "Challenge Accepted"
and in each episode,
I explore different community,
lifestyle or profession.
Whether it's training with the U.S. Marine Corps
or experiencing what it's like
to be an Olympic figure skater.
So my daily routine
and what I eat in a day
tend to vary a lot.
But here are the basics pretty much.
The first thing that I do when I wake up,
is immediately like hug Gared,
he's my fiance
and after that of course,
like everybody else,
I'm already sweating thinking
about how embarrassing this is,
I grab my phone
and check every social media
because surprise, I'm a millennial,
that's what we do I guess.
After some time passes,
I usually get up
and for breakfast,
the first thing that I have
is a big, big glass of water
and I also love overnight oats.
And I feel like me conceptually,
overnight oats,
like I wanna do as little as possible
so I love MUSH overnight oats.
It's this brand that I actually found
on Shark Tank actually.(chuckles)
Thank you Mark Cuban I guess.
And if I'm feeling really hungry and frisky,
I'll have a smoothie with that as well.
I love the Urban Remedy strawberry smoothie,
they're super good.
Because of active I have to be
in the chalLenges I'm doing,
a lot of people ask me
if I drink caffeine,
I don't.
But if I'm about to go
into a really big day on set or training,
I will have a big cup caffeinated tea
and I find that this deprivation technique
becomes very effective
when I do need the caffeine.(chuckles)
So usually after I have breakfast,
I'll do a little bit of work
and then we'll head on over to the gym
or an outdoor workout.
I love getting in a good sweat
and then coming home and getting hungry
and ready for lunch.
Do I get hungry?
Gared's smiling behind camera right now
and I'm not liking it.
But, yes, I plead guilty,
I get hungry, I need food.(chuckles)
So after I work out,
I have a vegan protein shake.
I love the Organic brand,
not sponsored guys,
it's just really that good.
Also comes in these pre-made little cartons
that are really great on the go.
So for lunch, I usually like
to do kind of a big salad mix
of a variety of different things.
And I always include a protein of some kind,
whether it is a grilled chicken
or grilled fish.
I hate the term leafy greens,
what does that even mean?
Like I don't wanna think about leaves
when I'm eating lunch
but sure, leafy greens,
like a kale or arugula.
My favorite leafy green is spinach actually.
So I'll do like some spinach
with a little bit of miso ginger dressing,
get a little bit of that spice in there.
Also, I am a huge, huge fan of mushrooms.
I am obsessed with mushrooms,
I put them on everything,
anytime I eat out,
I always ask for mushrooms
to be added to my dish.
I am also a very pro-carb person
so I'll usually have a slice of bread
or a bit of rice.
In the past when I've tried depleting carbs from my diet,
it doesn't work out for me,
I'm still really hungry,
so I just love eating everything.
I'm a very hungry person.
- You steal my bread.
- You don't like the tortilla.
I don't know what to tell you,
you don't eat the tortilla
from Mendocino Farms
so I'm not gonna let it go to waste.
Okay, what's next?(laughs)
Around the middle of the afternoon,
I'll usually have another snack of some kind.
Whether it's a handful of almonds
or maybe a protein bar
or, I'm gonna be honest with you guys,
sometimes, I just have a chocolate bar.
I feel like there are a lot
of like health and fitness influencers
who put on this very, very pristine image
of who they are and what they eat.
But girl, sometimes,
we just gotta have a chocolate bar,
in the afternoon,
on a Tuesday,
for no reason.
So then for dinner,
by the time I get to the end of the day,
I'm very exhausted.
We got a great workout in,
your girl sent some well-crafted emails,
we whealed and deal,
we got through the day,
it's time to eat.
So Gared and I,
again because we're limited
in our expertise in the kitchen,
love making homemade chicken tacos.
Lemme tell you guys,
this recipe, it's so good,
it's from Nordstrom Flavors Cookbook
but basically we take this,
white meat, ground chicken
and we cook it up
with some garlic, cilatro
and Gared makes this amazing
homemade cilantro, lime vinegarette.
It's really fun,
we feel really professional
and chef like even though
it's probably one of two recipes
we actually know how to do
because besides that,
we just do Home Chef
and Postmates.
It's quarantine guys,
what else are we gonna do.
Some of our favorite places
to Postmates from include,
Sweetgreen, Mendocino Farms
and also something that we love doing
is choosing restaurants
off the Black-Owned Restaurants tab of Postmates,
it's been a really awesome,
and honestly simple and straightforward way
to give back to the community.
So here's huge confession, embarrassment time.
I am Indian and I think a lot of Indian people
especially in my family
pride themselves on being able
to handle that Asian level of spiciness, I cannot.
One time I had the opportunity
to try the spiciest pepper in the world
and it was the worst experience of my life
and I'm never doing it again.
I like everything just milled.
Cheat meal, I'm all about it guys.
So recently, we were celebrating
the launch of my new show,
"Karma", on HBO Max
and it was so much fun
and to celebrate,
I went all out.
We got lobster pasta,
we got cacciatore pasta,
I'm probably pronouncing it wrong,
I love pasta.
We got seven different kinds of pasta,
guacamole, chips, homemade cookies
and a brownie.
So I'm kind of an all or nothing type person
and anytime I have an indulgence meal
it's always pasta.
And that is everything I eat in a day.
Thank you so much for watching
and be sure to check out "Karma" on HBO Max.
