Does she live to eat or eat to live? Zeta says she falls somewhere in between
Catherine Zeta-Jones is proof that balance, tradition, and a touch of indulgence can go hand-in-hand when it comes to eating well.
The Wednesday actress revealed exactly what she eats in a day to look super fit, even at this age.
Let’s find out what she eats in a day with detailed information:
Coffee comes first
Her diet is a mix of comforting classics, healthy, and a few irresistible sweet treats. For Zeta-Jones, mornings begin the same way every day, with coffee. “I really can’t do anything properly without my coffee,” she said in a Harper's Bazaar interview.
Breakfast
Her breakfast depends on the season. During the colder months, she sticks to warm porridge topped with bananas, brown sugar, and blueberries.
In summer, she switches to non-fat vanilla yogurt with granola, blueberries, and raspberries.
Weekends
The 55-year-old actress and her family gather for a hearty British-style brunch on weekends, complete with bacon, sausages, baked beans, scrambled eggs, and even french toast.
Midday
She always takes a tea break, usually with a cookie. She doesn't snack much, but she can never resist chocolate, especially her favorite Cadbury’s milk chocolate from Britain.
Lunch
She usually keeps the meals light, focusing on fresh salads. Her favorite salad mix includes spinach, arugula, ripe tomatoes like big ones, pine nuts, and occasionally blue cheese or cranberries.
Afternoon picks
The Mask of Zorro actress brews a cup of her very own Casa Zeta-Jones coffee blend. If she’s been baking, she enjoys it alongside homemade scones with clotted cream and jam for a touch of British afternoon tea tradition.
Dinner
She has dinner mostly at around 8 p.m., and it almost always includes a fresh salad, with some fruits, rich in antioxidants and nutrients like apples, figs, or oranges, and avocado.
For the main course, she leans toward lighter proteins such as fish or chicken, but she also enjoys the occasional fillet mignon with a mushroom sauce.
Comfort Food
One of her ultimate comfort foods is Cauliflower cheese, a dish her mother often made when she was growing up in Wales.
Her food philosophy
So does she live to eat or eat to live? Zeta-Jones says she falls somewhere in between. With a mix of wholesome meals, family traditions, and sweet indulgences, her approach proves that health and happiness can truly go hand-in-hand.
