For breakfast, she makes sure she gets a good dose of protein and fiber first thing in the morning.

Or she might have a tofu scramble made with spinach, onions and peppers, with salsa on top.

Other times, she could eat egg-white scramble, Ezekiel toast and berries.⁴ On mornings when she works out, she’ll also have an orange or a grapefruit and black coffee for a little caffeine boost.

She eats this with brown rice and seasons it with Bragg Liquid Aminos. For her, it’s a good meal choice because it is low in calories and fat.

While protein bars can be bought in-store, some of the commercially available ones can be high in calories and may contain additives. You can make your own protein bars at home with granola, dates, flaxseeds, black sesame seeds and organic jiggery.

At dinnertime, Carrie Underwood usually eats a vegan burger consisting of all vegetables or with a piece of tofu in it. Occasionally, she may have squares of dark chocolate in case of a craving. She also drinks red wine, which she considers her vice, but says it’s good for her heart.

She also has a regimen she sticks to before performing at any show or event. She says she has a schedule and likes to eat the same things on every show day.³ She prefers to have a lot of fruits and vegetables but no starch or bread.

On the day of a performance or show, Carrie Underwood eats raw, nut butter-based bars for breakfast, hummus and vegetables for lunch and two scrambled eggs and half an avocado for dinner. She explained that she prefers to stick to this meal plan before every show because it consists of healthy fats and proteins which give her enough energy without making her feel full.

Carrie Underwood’s Fitness Routine

Carrie Underwood has written a fitness book and developed a fitness app called Fit52 app. These projects reflect her commitment to health and fitness and her desire to share that passion and knowledge with the world. She developed the fitness app in collaboration with her trainer, Eve Overland.

Carrie Underwood describes Fit52 app as ‘’a year-round, common-sense approach to health and fitness’’. The app provides workout routines and predesigned exercises for each user based on their fitness level (beginner, intermediate or advanced). It also helps to keep track of workouts.

When it comes to her personal fitness, Carrie Underwood describes herself as a seasonal workout person. In winter, when the weather is cold and there are a lot of holidays, she lifts more weights and does less cardio. This allows her to make use of all the extra holiday food calories to build some muscle. In summer, she runs and does more outdoor cardio exercises. This way, she feels lighter and she can make use of the warm weather to get lean.

She enjoys working out by putting things together – using a chair for dips, working with her bodyweight by doing push-ups and sit-ups. This allows her to be fit anywhere, whether she’s travelling or in a hotel room.

She also likes to travel with a few items for her fitness routine such as an ab wheel, resistance bands and jump ropes. They are lightweight and easy to pack and take anywhere with you and can easily become part of a workout.

Overall, Carrie Underwood prefers to focus her energy on building strength. She favors lower impact exercises over cardio. She doesn’t have a strict workout schedule, exercising whenever she can by incorporating fitness into her normal daily activities. For her pre-event work out, she does more cardio and fewer weights than usual. This is so she does not look too muscular on the red carpet.
