Swanepoel’s diet involves her eating three meals a day. However, she tells InStyle that she will usually vary the heaviness of her meals. "It's all about balance for me. One meal in the day will be lighter than others, probably during lunch I will [eat something] heavier so that my body has time to burn it off. Night-time is something lighter, and I will always have a big breakfast."
