Carrie’s Food Plan: Know What You Eat
“I love eating and talking about food.
I’ve been avegetarianfor seven years.
“Now I’m 95 percent vegan.
Sometimes you’re at a birthday party and there’s cake and…you know, you might’t resist.
My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from.
The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy.”
Her Secret Do-It-All App
“I’m a very regimented eater.
I’ve keptfood journalsfor years.
Now I do it with theLiveStrong.comphone app, which is great with nutrition info for restaurant meals.”
If I’mworking out in the morning, I’ll also have an orange or a grapefruit.
I like a little caffeine boost!”
A Delish, Filling Lunch"I do astir-frywith precut veggies.
I like broccoli, carrots, broccoli slaw, fake chicken and onions.
It’s a lot of food but not a lot of fat or calories."
Her Go-To Dinner"I’ll always be a fan ofveggie burgers!"
Her Pre-Event Diet"I lay off starches.
So I have lots of veggies and fruit but no other starches or bread."
I reallyenjoycooking and eating together at home.
It’s a nice time to be together and talk.
Growing up, I was semisporty but didn’t really do much.
If I’d kept on that path, it wouldn’t have ended well!

Pros Aren’t Trainers, Even When They’re Cute
“Mike and Iworked out togetheronce.
But he pushed them down so hard, my legs just hit the floor.
I was like, ‘I’m smaller than you!
Lighten up!'”
Left: “I love going to live sports events.
It’s fun to have a beer and watch Mike play,” Carrie says.
Her Pre-Event Workout
“I do more cardio and fewer weights than usual.
Although strength training is important, I don’t want to look too muscular on the red carpet.
Now I’m a lot better with saying, I feel good about myself and that’s enough.”
Words of affirmation mean a lot to me.
But my husband is also pretty conservative.
Those shoes were really funky!”
Her Pre-Event Beauty Tip
“Get plenty of waterand sleep.
I’ve heard horror stories about people who’ve done peels or fake tans before events.
What if my face melted off?
I’ll stick to hydration and a little extra night cream.”
“I don’t feel like I have as much to prove,” Underwood says.
