Gigi Hadid is a successful model known for her work with A-list brands such as Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger, Moschino, and Maybelline. The 29-year-old runway model serves up trendy looks wherever she goes, including stunning fashion statements at the Met Gala. She has an impressive figure and consumes a nutritious diet to maintain it. Here are just some of Gigi Hadid's go-to meals and favorite foods that support her well-balanced lifestyle.

1. Eggs With Toast

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Gigi shared that she enjoys a classic meal for breakfast: eggs with toast.

"I usually eat breakfast or have coffee before I do anything. I live near the Smile, and I love their scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. I drink orange juice and coffee always. At home I love scrambled eggs and toast; it's just an easy go-to," she said.

2. Burgers

Gigi makes sure to eat a healthy diet, but that doesn't mean she sacrifices her favorite indulgences. One of Gigi's go-to's? Burgers.

"My personal motto is 'Eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane,' so if I'm in the mood I'll go to JG Melon in the West Village," she shared.

The model even started a "tradition" with Jimmy Fallon where they enjoy burgers and share their love of this particular meal on the show.

3. Salad

Of course, Gigi carves out ample space for vegetables in her diet. One way she does so is by ordering salads for lunch.

"I love the Smile. They have a little arugula salad that I could eat every day," Gigi told Harper's Bazaar.

Gigi previously shared her "whatever's in the fridge" salad recipe on Instagram, which included tasty ingredients like arugula, cherry tomatoes, Fresh Gourmet Crispy Onions, feta cheese, chopped walnuts, a Beyond Meat burger patty, extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Brianna's Salad Caeser (via Grazia).

4. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Another one of Gigi's favorites that will make your mouth water? Grilled cheese and tomato soup, a comfort food pairing staple.

"I make this really good tomato soup from scratch and I do it with grilled cheese sandwich dippers on the side," Gigi told Elle. "That's really, really, really good. And my grandma loves that. My grandma is the best cook ever so for her to love that makes me think it's probably the best thing I make."

Fun fact: Gigi even rang in her 26th birthday with a grilled cheese truck!

Gigi Hadid Genuinely Enjoys Cooking

Gigi is a major fan of preparing her own meals; she shares many of her recipe preparations on Instagram.

"For me it's art and cooking, for example, and when I can be with my friends and the people I love and do simple things. That's when I'm the happiest," she shared with Elle.
