I work out with our trainer, Jocelynne Boschen of Alpha Sport L.A., hike a lot, and eat healthy. I love cooking so prepare a lot of my own food and avoid processed foods. No fast food. No soda.

Eating-wise, I'm fairly disciplined. I have to be, because if you're not eating correctly, you're not giving your body the fuel it needs. So, I stay away from carbs after the morning, and I eat a lot of protein - fish, chicken, and no red meat.

I eat a lot more now than I ever used to. I have taken a real interest in nutrition and believe in the difference that makes when fueling your body correctly. That means never skipping a meal and making sure that my diet supports my training needs.

I decided to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time - go get a chef and a nutritionist - and I brought them on board.

I do practice what I preach when it comes to nutrition.

I cook a lot, so that really helps: You know how much salt and sugar and all of that kind of stuff you are putting in your body.

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

Carbs - especially pasta - are the fuel my body needs to maintain an athletic lifestyle.

I'm very good at ordering off the menu and eating food that other people cook for me. My husband's a fantastic cook. I always come with a good appetite!

For me, the food I like to make is the food I can enjoy all the time anytime. It's not too calculated or technical.
