- 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.
