8 Favorite Celebrity Cheat Meals

Ripped, stacked, chiseled, strong, superhuman. These are all words that are regularly used to describe Henry Cavill, aka Superman. The British actor has made it no secret that health and fitness are incredibly important to him. This is one of the reasons why the Man of Steel recently took on a new role as Chief Creative Officer at MuscleTech, a globally recognized brand of sports supplements. In a new interview with Celebwell, the 38-year-old details the exact diet responsible for his famous physique, and well as the supplement stack that helps him achieve all of his fitness goals.

1. His Diet is Extremely Regimented

It should come as zero surprise that Henry is extremely regimented when it comes to his diet. A typical day for him food-wise includes a variety of shakes, supplements, proteins, and digestible carbohydrates. And, instead of breaking down his diet into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, he categorizes his meals by number.

“I wake up in the morning and I have a protein shake, one-and-a-half to two scoops of hundred percent grass fed whey protein, plus a cup and a half of oats, plus a two egg omelet with some ham or turkey in it, and four ounces of filet steak,” he explains. “That's breakfast.”

His second meal consists of protein and carbs. “Six ounces of chicken breasts with brown rice,” he says.

4. Meal Three

Interestingly, meal three is exactly the same as meal two: Six ounces of chicken breast with brown rice.

5. Meal Four

For dinner, Henry switches it up a bit. “Meal four will be five ounces of filet of beef with sweet potato.”

6. Meal Five

Meal five isn’t actually a meal, but a shake. “I'll have a pre-bed shake to make sure I don't go into a catabolic state and that will be just protein and water,” he reveals.

7. He Indulges in One Cheat Meal Per Week

Henry reveals that he does give himself a break from his extremely regimented diet once a week. “My cheat meal depends on the week and the country,” he explains. One of his reliable go-tos? Pizza. “You could find pizza from pretty much any country,” he confirms. However, if he is in the UK he might indulge in some fish and chips, “or I may do a Sunday roast or something just to make a bit of an event out of it,” he says.

8. His Supplement Stack

In addition to food, Henry stays fueled up throughout the day with the help of MuscleTech supplements. “I have my basic line of supplements, my regular stack as we call it,” he reveals.

“At the moment I stick to 100% grass fed whey protein, and I have that as part of my breakfast, my post-workout shake and my pre bed shake. I also take a pack of multivitamins every day. I use Shatter Pre-workout if I'm feeling particularly tired before workouts. And I also use Amino Build during my workout to make sure that I'm getting the most out of it.”

9. “It’s All About Finding That Inner Strength”

Henry wants his fans to know that you don’t have to be a superhero to achieve fitness goals, which is one of the reasons he chose to partner with MuscleTech. “We all have the capacity for creating a physical self within us already. We already have those ingredients and it's about keying into them and accessing them,” he explains. “It's not, some people can, some people come, we all can. Absolutely. And it's about finding that inner strength to push forward because as MuscleTech says, strength is more than just muscle. And that's something which I love.”

Melissa Pfeister is sharing a “work it Wednesday” workout – in her two-piece workout clothes. In a new social media post the trainer and fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in skintight workout wear while breaking a sweat. “Want a lady in the streets but a freak in the…gym 😜💪🏻🔥 #workitwednesday,” she captioned the video. If you want to sweat like Melissa – and eat like her – here is everything you need to know about her workout and eating habits.

1. Here Is Her Workout

In the clip, Melissa does 12 to 15 reps of each exercise and 2 to 3 sets:

1. Plank row
2. Weighted crunch reach
3. Plank pull thrus

“This was more of a core workout but overall a pretty good workout,” explains Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant. “I would have thrown in a rotational exercise or some oblique exercise to target the entire core.”

2. Recreating Her Favorite Dishes in a “Healthy Way”

Melissa, who competed on Food Network Star, explains her goal when it comes to cooking. “I take foods that maybe aren’t the best for you and re-create them in a healthy way,” she told them. “My greatest strength I would say is adapting. I eat healthy, and I have a lot of allergies ... I’ve always had allergies my whole life. ... Lactose, dairy, I’ve always been that, and then as I started getting older, more allergies developed. So, you really have to learn how to, like, get creative with food if you want to be able to eat something. ... If cheese is in something, what else can I put in it?”

3. Living Off Green Drinks

Melissa also loves to drink her greens. “Some people may think it’s weird — I don’t. I live off of green drinks where it’s, like, you know, your kale your spinach your parsley your apple,” she says.

4. Baked French Fries and Chicken Fingers

Melissa’s signature dish? “It’s baked, not fried, French fries, but they have flavor; they have taste. Or chicken fingers, but same thing — a healthy version. So ... simple things,” she says.

5. Cheat Meals

Her “guilty pleasure” food? “I mean, Dairy Queen for sure. The thing is I’m happy that I don’t know here Dairy Queen is around me in LA, so it’s kind of a good thing. But when in doubt, if it’s, like, ‘no, I don’t care, I am just going for it,’ then I will just drive myself to the store, and I will get an either Oreo or cookie dough ice cream, and then I’ll be sick, because [of] my dairy issues. But eating it those few bites — it’ll be worth it.” She admits, “if my stomach would allow me to eat a Dairy Queen Blizzard every day, I would eat one, extra Oreos and cookie dough. You go big or go home. That’s it.”

6. Eating Out, But Healthy

Melissa, a member of the ETNT Medical Review board, explained to the publication that eating out at restaurants doesn’t have to be sinful. "It's all about the choices you make," says Melissa. "For instance, my first thought [of a healthy option] would be a sushi restaurant with lots of edamame and lots of fresh fish and seafood, but then again, you can order fried rock shrimp tempura in a creamy aioli sauce there, too. You just have to look a little harder and be a little more creative, but healthy options are always, always there."
