Daddario has a healthy relationship with food, and enjoys a balanced diet. “I eat when I’m hungry,” she tells PEOPLE. “I try to stay away from anything unnatural, but if you are trying to stay healthy and you get too hungry, it will only be more difficult to stay away from things like too much sugar if you don’t give yourself what you want sometimes. I’m focused on being healthy and not stressing or obsessing over food… I eat what I like, even if I know it’s not ideal sometimes. You have to allow yourself to cheat. I know if I have some ice cream at night it’s not going to affect me negatively. Enjoy your life!”
