She's really into hydration.
FACT CHECKED BY Alexa Mellardo

Alexandra Cooper is the queen of podcasting. She's the host of Call Her Daddy, where she's interviewed A-list stars like Ed Sheeran, Chappell Roan, Paris Hilton, and even Former Vice President Kamala Harris. Alexandra makes sure to stay in shape, and she's talked about her diet secrets in several interviews. She even has a hydration drink line called Unwell. Here are the diet habits Alexandra Cooper swears by.

She Stays Hydrated

Alex spilled the tea about starting her company in an interview with EatingWell.

She said, "When I think about being 'unwell' in the physical and literal sense, it's somehow always related to hydration, right? You could be so overworked, you could be coming out of exercising from a workout, you could be exhausted from a long night out. Regardless, every single thing you're doing in your life, you can always use extra hydration. And I am someone who has been an athlete my whole life, and hydration was always at the front of what I was doing. But now I'm not an athlete and I'm like, 'What am I doing with myself?' And I realized I wasn't hydrating as much as I used to. It makes such a difference in my everyday life, so it was very authentic to me."

Protein is an essential part of any healthy diet, and Alex clearly knows that.

The podcast host shared with EatingWell, "A lot of protein has been something that I've been very focused on … I am a huge egg girl in the morning. I will make myself an English muffin with eggs and turkey bacon—I love, love flavors. I'll put a bunch of hot sauce on it."

If she had to choose a go-to green to pair with her favorite meal—which is a nice, crispy chicken parm—it would be broccoli, she shared during an interview with Harper's Bazaar. Broccoli is chock-full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It's low in the calorie department but bursting with fiber, which makes it a great choice to help with weight management.

She Believes in Balance

Alex believes in consuming a well-balanced diet, which includes some of her favorite snacks

"I have tried to be healthier in the past couple of years, but I am someone that loves snacking. My company is called Unwell for a reason; I'm not like a 'green juice Pilates girly' for life. Yes, I do those things occasionally, but I also love to have a good Cheeto or a Lay's chip or sour cream and onion chip or pretzels. I think it's all about balance and I think that I never am going to stop myself from having a good chip while I'm editing at my desk."
