Jennifer Aniston

Aniston's yoga-formed abs have been famous for decades, and her healthy diet keeps them taut. Pasta is her guilty pleasure, but she'll put a skinny spin on it, like using veggie strips (zucchini and eggplant work well) in place of lasagna noodles. Her lunches veer basic—salad and a form of protein—and she keeps the fridge stocked with easy-to-grab snacks, like hard-boiled eggs, cut vegetables, and pulled chicken.

The supermodel fuels up with hearty breakfasts—like a veggie-heavy egg scramble or a yogurt bowl—and keeps her energy levels high with an afternoon smoothie. Kurkova's favorite blend includes strawberries, blueberries, bananas, almond butter, coconut milk, and chocolate coconut protein. The rest of her meals follow a strict but easy formula: protein plus veggies.

Since winning American Idol and entering the spotlight, Underwood has turned into a fitness lover...and a vegan. She regularly keeps a food journal, and it's filled with things like English muffins with peanut butter, No Cow Bars, and tofu scrambles — plus the occasional veggie burger.

Christie Brinkley

When Brinkley graced the pages of the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition in 2017, readers freaked at how the 63-year-old's body looked as fit as ever. She doesn't follow a diet, per se, just keeps one that's well-balanced. That means, breakfast is full of yogurt and fruit or a protein-heavy egg-white omelet. For lunch, she sticks to salads that usually include last night's leftover grains or beans. But don't think she skips out on sweets altogether: She splurges on a Gnosis Pom Acai raw chocolate bar every single day.

Jenna Dewan

Dewan exercises a ton, but she's also strict about what she eats. Every day starts with a green smoothie (spinach, kale, lemon, apple, banana, black sesame seeds, and cod liver oil), and Dewan swears it makes her skin, hair, and energy better. She tends to go for grain salads for lunch— tabbouleh and quinoa with greens are her favorites—and brown rice bowls with plenty of veggies at night.

Zoe Saldana

Saldana lost around 70 pounds, which she gained while pregnant with her twins, to reprise her role as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. She followed the 80/20 rule (80 percent healthy food, 20 percent not-so nutritious). Her breakfast always has something green, whether it's avocado or green juice, but her snacks are a little more indulgent: She loves flavored popcorn. As for heavier meals, like ones post-workout, she aims to refuel with protein, so chicken with quinoa and veggies is often in rotation.

Gabby Douglas

An Olympic gold medalist knows a thing or two about staying healthy, but Douglas's food diary isn't disgustingly boring. It includes gingerbread and chocolate desserts. Breakfast starts clean, with tea, oatmeal, and banana, and lunch and dinner are just as healthy: chicken or salmon with cooked vegetables.

Kristin Cavallari

The reality star turned entrepreneur doesn't believe in traditional "diet foods." Instead she just avoids processed foods and anything containing GMOs. She often starts her days with a green smoothie with an unexpected ingredient: peppermint extract, which she swears makes the thing taste like a mint ice cream shake. She's also the queen of healthy snacks: zucchini chips, homemade fruit leather, and hummus are some favorites.

Hough maintains her dancer bod with exercise and good eats. She loves steamed eggs with tomato and avocado to refuel after a workout and prefers healthy wraps with salad for lunch. Day to day, her dinner is the typical protein-veggie combo, but not on Sundays. She refers to those as Sunday Fundays, and loosens up with pizza, candy, and wine.

Taylor Swift

Leave it to Swift to show up every green juice drinker in Hollywood with buckwheat pancakes for breakfast. She tops them with ham and a fried egg, and always has a glass of OJ. Monday through Friday, she keeps things basic, with salads, yogurt, and sandwiches and no sugary drinks. But on the weekends, she taps into her sweet tooth: She's an expert baker.

Kate Hudson

Even though people say it's the most important meal of the day, Hudson struggles to eat breakfast since she doesn't typically wake up hungry. Still, she tries to slam down a green juice or a protein shake. Everything she eats the rest of the day follows her high-alkaline diet, which means she avoids acidic foods. She relies on salads and other plant-based dishes.

The model is a big fan of cooking, and she tries to make only nutritious, organic meals. She's an expert baker, too. Most importantly though, she drinks 8 cups of water every day—and that's just before lunch.

Kelly Ripa

Ripa doesn't eat until after she films Live with Kelly and Ryan, and then breakfast is usually yogurt and granola. She keeps her meals basic, but always clean. On any given day, you might find her enjoying chicken breast with sautéed spinach or salad, and she always stocks her fridge with fruits and veggies for snacking. Ripa does have one guilty pleasure that she can't kick though: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.

Chrissy Teigen

Girlfriend can cook, which you know unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years. But her daily diet's not as indulgent as social media makes it seem. Teigen doesn't have carbs for breakfast; she calls herself an eggs girl. She'll eat heartier meals at dinner — sometimes a big hunk of meat — but dessert's not her thing. She's even been known to have hard-boiled eggs as a midnight snack.

When Alba hired a nutritionist, the two completely overhauled the actress's diet. Now, Alba sips on a smoothie nearly every morning; this avocado and almond milk one cleared her skin. Her go-to snack is guacamole, and she makes sure every meal hits four groups: protein, fat, fiber, and greens.

Gisele Bundchen

Bundchen and her pro ball hubby Tom Brady aren't vegan, but they're pretty close. She follows an 80 percent vegetable, 20 percent lean meat diet. Often, that includes fresh fruit and vegetables, vegetable soup, and quinoa bowls, but Bundchen's known around the house for her epic green juice. Even her kids are big fans.

LeAnn Rimes

Rimes loves healthy proteins like fish, chicken, and lean turkey, plus a lot of fresh vegetables. She has fresh fruit too, but never after mid-afternoon, since her trainer says the sugar in it is harder to process later in the day. In recent years, she's allowed herself a few more treats, like bites of her kids mac and cheese and goat cheese — lots of it.

Lopez's diet is more about what she doesn't consume than what she does. On the no list: anything processed, alcohol, and caffeine. A typical lunch might include salmon with salad and protein shakes help her stave off cravings in between meals.

Olivia Munn

All it takes is one role to whip your butt into shape: For Munn, that was Psylocke in X-Men Apocalypse. She focused on eating anything you could find in a farmers market, and started every day with a smoothie. During filming, Munn got most of her protein from nuts and seeds.
