How to Eat Like Megan Fox: Day One

After a weekend of grad parties, it's time to finally start eating like Megan Fox. To the left is a picture of my breakfast, minus the coffee I drank. (Quick note: I couldn't find cider vinegar, so it's just lemon in the water...for now.) I have to say, after two days of cake and other highly processed foods, this is was actually pretty good.

A question arose recently about how I was going to eat. An earlier post shows all of Megan Fox's stats, and for the sake of comparison it's time to give mine.


I'm 18 (she's 25), about 5'8 (I'll get measured soon, I promise) and weigh around 140 pounds. I have a BMI (thank you National Health Institute) of 21.3 which is in the normal, healthy range (from 18.5-24.9 is considered healthy). I bike everywhere, and consistently get exercise five days a week. I will, however, introduce her core workouts three days this week.

What does this mean?
A) I'm two inches taller and about 26 pounds heavier than Megan Fox. To have her BMI, I would have to weigh 121 pounds. I'm pretty happy with myself, I can't see that happening.
B) I exercise more, and I'm seven years younger. The difference in just our Basal metabolic rates (BMR) is already impressive. (For those of you who don't know, the BMR measures the amount of calories used regardless of exercise.) Using this calculator, Megan Fox has a BMR of around 1344. Mine is around 1500. Whereas Megan Fox would have to eat 1200-1300 calories to lose a pound a week from dieting (again, this is using the assumptions of the previous post), I'm going to give myself 300 more calories per day (1500-1600).

And this is how Day One starts. I feel good for now...let's see what the week brings!

How to Eat Like Megan Fox: Part One

Let me start this by saying I know that Megan Fox isn't a model. However, her body routinely ends up on the hottest/sexiest/etc-iest woman lists. With her too skinny body allegedly leading to her May firing from Transformers 3, the time seemed ripe to try the Megan Fox diet and exercise regime.

First, the stats. Reportedly Megan Fox is 5'6, and weighs in at 114 lbs. Using the National Health Institute's BMI calculator, with BMI of 18.4, she's underweight. Plugging in her height, weight, and age (25) into a few calorie calculators, the expected calorie maintenance for her weight ranges from 1760-1980 calories. These calculations were made based on the assumption that she exercises 3 times a week, a fact backed up by the Megan-centric site http://www.meganfoxdiet.net/.

Specifics about her diet: apparently she eats an ounce of almonds a day, and a few eggs. No grains/refined sugars for her; it's strictly fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. In addition, she has been quoted as using cider vinegar to help detox her system. As far as exercise goes, it's 30 minutes on a stationary bike and 15-20 minutes of intense core work out.

So this is how to eat like Megan Fox. As of this coming Sunday, I think I'll give it a try. Wish me luck!
