Selena’s nutritionist fills her dressing room with veggies, protein, and brown rice or whole grains. "I made a lot of rice bowls with veggies, protein, and avocado for Selena. It helped give her energy and stamina, which she needed to get through her shows. I also made healthy chicken salad with grapes and celery—it quenched her thirst and the protein filled her up,” her trainer, wellness expert Amy Rosoff Davis, told Byrdie.
