“I became very aware of having to eat healthy and exercise and stay in shape at a young age,” she told Star during an interview at Santa Monica’s 220 Fitness gym. “The older I get, the more I’m learning about the myths that are behind working out, diet and exercise. It’s a lifestyle.”

That means hitting the gym for 30 minutes of cardio and an hour with a trainer every day. “If I was not in the gym every day, I would be a house!” Amanda, 28, quips.

“I’m a foodie. I love to eat. I love to cook.” So even though she counts calories — consuming only 1,300 to 1,500 a day — Amanda makes sure to eat small, nutritious meals every three hours.

A typical day, she says, starts with three egg whites with two pieces of turkey bacon and an orange for breakfast. Celery or carrot sticks make a good midmorning snack before a light salad at lunch, Amanda explains, which is followed by an apple with peanut butter and then a protein-rich dinner. “No starch carbs at dinner,” she says. “It is portion control too; everything in moderation.”

“I’m on a pretty strict diet, I would say, a good 10 to 11 months of the year,” Amanda admits. In Hollywood, she says, “there is a lot of pressure to stay thin…. There have been certain film projects that I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself to lose weight for.”

And sometimes, she says, it’s hard to keep from going too far. “I don’t weigh myself because I get a little bit OCD with it,” Amanda reveals. Instead, she says, “I take measurements.”

Amanda sums it up explaining, “I think that you have to find a fine balance between being good to yourself, but also being hard on yourself and disciplined.” And clearly, for her, it’s working!
