What Selena Gomez Really Eats In A Day

What does Selena Gomez really eat in a day? And why is the internet buzzing about what's inside Selena Gomez's fridge? The former Disney Channel star has mastered many mediums throughout her career, including acting, producing, singing, songwriting, and so much more. But on top of all of her success, Gomez has also faced some serious obstacles, especially in regards to her wellness. Fans of Gomez are well-aware of her many health battles she's faced over the years, but fortunately, she's come out of them stronger and more informed about what her body needs. 

Additionally, Gomez launched a series on HBO Max that's all about food, and here's everything that we know about it. Selena + Chef follows Gomez as she gets virtual cooking lessons from world-renowned chefs from around the world. As Gomez made clear in the show's promo, she loves to eat. And while cooking might not be one of her many natural talents, she's still interested in it. 

But what exactly does Gomez like to eat? More importantly, what does she really eat in a day? The star obviously has health as a top priority, so what does that look like on a day-to-day basis?

It's no secret that Selena Gomez leads a pretty busy life. The singer and actor has gone on tours, worked on television sets, and cut several albums. Selena Gomez also launched a beauty brand in 2020, and here's what we know about it. So clearly, she needs all the energy she can get. But Gomez doesn't always turn to coffee when she needs a little extra pep in her step.

Gomez's trainer, wellness expert Amy Rosoff Davis, told Byrdie that while she was on tour with Gomez, she would often encourage tea over coffee when it comes to what she drinks in a day. "[She] had green tea when we needed a pick me up — it sure was exhausting at times," Davis explained. 

According to Healthline, green tea is a healthy source of caffeine, is packed full of antioxidants, and keeps you hydrated; Gomez likely benefits from its health properties in more ways than one. Honestly, if Gomez drinks it, then it can't hurt to give it a whirl, as this is what happens to your body when you drink green tea every day.

Fans of Selena Gomez know that the former child star hails from the great state of Texas, where Tex-Mex and breakfast burritos reign supreme. But, consuming a giant breakfast burrito every day isn't exactly the healthiest choice, so Gomez has had to learn hwo to make a healthier version of one of her favorite foods.

Gomez's health and fitness trainer, Amy Rosoff Davis, told Cosmopolitan that she doesn't believe in diets, or forcing Gomez to restrict herself too much. "I don't believe in denying yourself, but I also believe in moderation," she said. "Life is too short not to enjoy food." Amen to that.

With that in mind, it's no wonder Davis shared that one breakfast option that Gomez typically eats in a day is one-half of a breakfast burrito made with rice, beans, scrambled eggs, chorizo, and avocado. Hey, that sounds pretty freaking good, whether or not you're trying to watch what you eat.

Selena Gomez might not follow a strict diet, and she might not eat the same thing every day, but her breakfast options are fairly routine. After all, no one really wants to eat the exact same breakfast every day, which is why Gomez likes to mix it up sometimes. At least, that's what Gomez's trainer, Amy Rosof Davis, told J-14.

In an interview with the publication, Davis revealed that her client maintains a mindful eating practice. "Honestly every day [is] so different," she shared. "She eats what she wants and doesn't really stick to the same stuff. She just doesn't eat huge amounts."

That said, Gomez has yet another favorite breakfast option that just about every millennial can appreciate: avocado toast, of course, sometimes with a pinch of salt, olive oil, and feta cheese, according to Davis. Once again, the singer's breakfast sounds totally delicious — perhaps that's the real reason people are obsessed with avocado toast?

Selena Gomez, like any other young person, has to deal with getting hungry in the middle of the day. When the snackies hit, she has to find something to eat every day — and it turns out that one of her most common snacks is probably something you've had, too.

Gomez's health and fitness trainer, Amy Rosoff Davis, told Cosmopolitan that often, Gomez will be tempted by quick and easy snack options. But Davis said she doesn't exactly let that slide. "I will walk onto the tour bus and smell fast food, throw it in the trash, and hand her a carrot and hummus," Davis revealed. That's smart, as weight loss is just one of the things that happen to your body when you eat hummus every day.

Fortunately for Gomez, those small changes to her diet make a big difference. "She responds really quickly," Davis continued. "We'll do barely any ab exercises and two days later, I'm like, 'Whoa!'" Imagine being able to tone up your abs that fast!

Unlike many other celebrities who refuse to eat certain food products — such as dairy, gluten, carbs, or animal products, to name just a few — Selena Gomez seemingly has no restrictions. When it comes to what she typically eats in a day, though, it's clear that she tries to keep it both healthy and tasty. And while her diet might be different while she's on tour (while on tour, Gomez has rehearsals and performances day after day, so she needs more fuel that usual), one thing that Gomez always eats is a great source of protein and hydration.

No, we're not talking about a protein shake. Gomez's trainer, Amy Rosoff Davis, told Byrdie that one of her client's most common meals is a light version of a deli favorite. "I also made healthy chicken salad with grapes and celery — it quenched her thirst and the protein filled her up," she explained.

Because Selena Gomez is focused on her overall health — both physical and mental — she doesn't follow a restrictive diet. As her trainer and all-around health guru, Amy Rosof Davis, told Cosmopolitan, moderation and not restriction is the key to a healthy lifestyle. 

That seems to be Gomez's philosophy when it comes to her favorite guilty pleasures. While Davis admitted that, "She loves Tex-Mex and fast food that I would normally not condone," that doesn't mean Gomez doesn't treat herself every now and then. As she told Entertainment Weekly, "I used to have chicken pot pie, Hot Cheetos, Gatorade, Red Bull if I needed a pep in my step." Alas, Gomez says she can't eat like that on the reg anymore.

But Gomez doesn't have to cut those foods out entirely, however. "I can still have my pot pies," she continued. "Just not every day." Honestly, an 80/20 lifestyle like that, of being healthy 80 percent of the time while enjoying yourself the other 20 percent, sounds like the way to go — and Gomez has mastered it.

When it comes time to wind down for the evening and eat a yummy dinner, Selena Gomez definitely has regular meals that she eats every day. Gomez's health trainer, Amy Rosof Davis, told J-14 that her typical dinner isn't anything fancy, but it does sound tasty and filling. And in fact, it might just be the kind of supper that you'd have with your family, too. "Salmon and veg, roast chicken, pasta and veggies, or Mexican food," Davis explained. Those really are some down-to-earth options, as opposed to fancy fish and elevated vegan dishes.

Davis added that there's always a chance that Gomez goes all out for dinner, but it doesn't happen often. "She doesn't eat huge amounts or overindulge because she doesn't live by restrictive rules," she continued. "It doesn't mean eat a Big Mac at every meal, but it means you can eat things you love, just sensibly." So in a nutshell, Gomez might just have a Big Mac for dinner, but not every night. Sounds good!
