What Does Zendaya Eat? We Looked Into It and You'll Be Surprised!

You’ve probably seen her in major Hollywood movies like The Greatest Showman, alongside Hugh Jackman and in Spider Man. In addition to her acting skills, Zendaya is also an amazing dancer and singer.

If you are wondering how she is able to maintain a great figure and stay in such good shape for her movie roles, then you are in the right place.

In this article, we will be discussing all that and more, including what the movie star eats and how she works out.

Who is Zendaya?

Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman is an American actress and singer who has had roles in big-budget Hollywood movies.

Zendaya first started in television in 2010 with the popular comedy series Shake It Up. In the years following her television debut, she was part of an animated television movie Pixie Hollow Games in 2011, and made guest appearances in the series A.N.T. Farm and Good Luck Charlie, as well as the television movie Frenemies.

What Does Zendaya Eat?

At such a young age, Zendaya is already an accomplished and award-winning Hollywood actress. But beyond her acting talents, the 26 year old is also a style icon with a stunning physique.

So, what does she eat to achieve this look and maintain her slim figure?

Zendaya is a vegetarian, becoming one at the age of nine. She says she became a vegetarian because she loves animals and mainly for ethical reasons.

However, she still eats dairy and some other animal products as she isn’t a vegan.

Generally, Zendaya’s busy schedule makes her forget about meals and she ends up snacking most of the time instead.

For lunch, Zendaya used to enjoy cup ramen noodles, but she has since stopped eating it. This happened once she realised that the chicken powder used in the ramen noodles wasn’t just artificial flavouring, but that it actually contained chicken. So, as a vegetarian, she decided to cut it out of her diet completely.

At dinnertime, she most often orders food on Postmates, the food delivery service because she doesn’t like to cook.

When it comes to drinks, Zendaya loves drinking juice like lemonade or Tropicana.

Being young and naturally slim, means Zendaya might be able to get away with a less than ideal diet. Her ectomorph body type means she does not gain weight and muscles easily, so she can eat a lot of carbs.

Zendaya’s Fitness Routine

Growing up, Zendaya was very active and played sports. She used to play soccer and basketball and also took part in athletics. Even as a teenager, she continued with these activities. As a young adult, she doesn’t have a regular exercise routine, but still manages to remain active through her work.

A lot of her work schedule involves dancing and performing choreographed moves.

One of Zendaya’s favorite activities is dancing. This way, she can make her workouts fun. When she doesn’t have a busy schedule, she likes to join a dance class or even dance by herself.

A typical workout routine for Zendaya is as follows:

1. Start with stretching, then 15 to 30 minutes of yoga
2. Jog 800 meters
3. Knee push-ups (3 sets, 10 reps)
4. Air squats (3 sets, 15 reps)
5. 60 seconds of boxing (3 sets)
6. Jump squats (3 sets, 30 reps)
7. Burpees (3 sets, 20 reps)
8. Sit-ups (3 sets, 10 reps)
9. Inchworms (3 sets, 20 reps)
10. Lunges (3 sets, 30 reps)

Zendaya works out in a circuit, working quickly and moving from one activity to the next with minimal rest in between sets. When she completes a circuit, she rests for three minutes. Then she repeats the workout again, doing a total of three sets in all.
