Carrie Underwood Shares Her Backyard-Egg Breakfast and Daily Diet

Underwood may choose tofu scramble instead, and pairs either breakfast with Ezekiel toast, berries and coffee. The “Before He Cheats” singer has described herself as a “wannabe vegan,” but her backyard chickens supply eggs for the meal.

For lunch, she often has a vegan Tofurky sandwich with avocado, spinach and other toppings. If she gets hungry later, she reaches for a protein bar or a smoothie. The article also notes that Underwood has discussed a period of obsessive eating and exercise after body-shaming comments from online trolls ahead of her 2005 American Idol win.

“I shouldn’t care what other people think about me,” she told Women’s Health, saying she had let her “haters” become her “motivators.” She recalled checking food labels obsessively and logging time on the elliptical. At first, she said, she slept better and had more energy for her demanding schedule; she later recognized she was not eating enough. “Your body is screaming out, I need more calories, I need more carbs!” she said.

Underwood has since worked to rebuild her health and strength. She launched the Fit52 workout app with trainer Evie Overland in 2020 and has run her CALIA athleisure brand since 2015. The article says Fit52 has been rebranded as HiNote and has more than 200,000 Instagram followers.
