One of the first things that comes to mind when we think of Jennifer Lopez [2] — in addition to "talent goals," of course — is "body goals [3]." At age 47, she's no stranger to the latest workout trends [4], so it's no surprise that she's also got her diet in check.
To maintain her killer physique, J Lo is pretty strict in some respects: she shies away from alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine [5] and sticks to a 90-calorie breakfast shake [6] and decaf coffee for her morning meal.
Her personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, backs J Lo up on her level of discipline, telling People [7] in 2016, "I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that she's doing . . . it's all organic and it's all very well thought out, with the balance of very high-quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food."
But like all of us, the superstar still enjoys dining out. "Most restaurants offer healthy, low-calorie meals so I watch for things on the menu that fit my lifestyle," she told Hello! Magazine in 2016. "I'll have a salad or some fish with veggies [8]. And I make sure I drink lots of water throughout the meal."
When it comes to beating cravings, protein is her go-to [9]: "It fills me up and keeps me full longer. It's a great muscle fuel." And for snacks she sticks to fruits and veggies [10].
Even with such a focused diet, J Lo also makes sure to enjoy a treat every once in a while. In fact, she and current flame Alex Rodriguez were recently spotted grabbing ice cream while in Paris [11]. And as she once told People [12], "We're all human . . . don't beat yourself up if you eat a potato chip."
