  • - 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.
