Here is all about Cameron Diaz’s diet and workout routine:

Cameron Diaz's Diet:

Diaz follows a Mediterranean-style diet, focusing more on eating good fats, whole grains and protein.

She didn’t prioritise eating well before, and as a teenager, she usually ate two burritos from Taco Bell every day. In fact, she didn’t really eat well till her mid-30s, when she started to gain interest in taking care of her body and ageing.

Cameron Diaz starts her day with a bottle of water, and for her first meal, she usually has something that helps her feel energised. Some of her go-to breakfast dishes include:

  • Scrambled eggs
  • Toast
  • An apple with almond butter
  • Overnight oats
  • A piece of chicken.

Diaz jokes that she has two breakfasts – one after her workout, which meal looks more like dinner.

For her second breakfast, she usually goes for brown rice, roasted or sauted vegetables or chicken. Sometimes she treats herself to her favourite tacos, including avocado, egg, lots of salsa and cilantro.

At lunch, Diaz opts for protein, good fats, leafy greens and some carbs. One of her favourite lunch options is savoury protein with an avocado.

One of her go-to meal options is what she calls 'whatever you got ramen', where she uses instant ramen and combines it with whatever vegetables she has.

Cameron Diaz’s favourite dinner is lamb chops. She marinates them using lemon, garlic, salt, oregano and oil to make the lamb chops more flavourful, and she likes them grilled.

Diaz also likes to have vegetables at every meal as a side dish or side salad. One of her favourite vegetable salads includes garlic, broccoli, kale, mustard, olive oil, fresh mint, avocado, toasted bread, manchego cheese, red wine vinegar and champagne vinegar.
