Jennifer Aniston, 54, hasn’t been shy about revealing what she eats to maintain her incredible toned physique at 54 years old. She may have broken our hearts when she revealed that the ‘Jennifer Aniston salad’ that went viral on TikTok last year was not actually the salad she famously ate every day on the set of Friends, but we do know what she does eat. And it’s just as healthy as we could have imagined!
From what the Murder Mystery 2 actress has said in the past, it seems like she is very consistent and strict with her meals in terms of how often she eats and exactly what she eats. She previously revealed to Radio Times that she does “intermittent fasting,” which she credits for helping her maintain her incredible figure.
What Does Jennifer Aniston Eat?
According to the Friends alum, her intermittent fasting means "no food in the morning," adding, "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours." During the eight-hour window when she is allowed to eat, the Just Go With It actress previously revealed that her meals are pretty "basic." She told Elle back in 2016 that her lunch is always "some form of vegetables or salad with protein – pretty basic." She went on to say that dinner is also pretty similar, usually consisting of "vegetables or salad with protein."
Her meals may be simple, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t well-thought-out. She previously revealed in an interview that she likes to plan ahead to make sure there is always something healthy and nutritious for her to eat even on her busiest days.
"I always have cut raw vegetables in a Tupperware container. Hard-boiled eggs are always great to have in the fridge, as well as a big head of butter lettuce. I also include protein, such as pulled chicken," she previously told Yahoo Food.
Jennifer Aniston Talks About Moderation
While it may seem like Aniston doesn’t ever stray from her strict diet, she previously revealed that that's not always the case. Speaking to People magazine about "moderation" in 2016, the same year she was named the publication's 'most beautiful woman,' she said, "I'm not as strict as I was," adding, "I thought, 'Just give yourself moderation.'"
She went on to say that we should all be mindful about what we are consuming, telling the mag: "We've got to really be conscious and mindful around what we put inside our bodies. And how we sleep and how we eat and how we take care of ourselves."
The Morning Show star also previously opened up about her "general philosophy" when it comes to her diet, telling Yahoo Food: "I don't let eating habits get out of control where I need a reset button. My general philosophy is to eat healthy. It's pretty clear: Eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water and get good sleep." But does she indulge every now and again? Of course she does! "I allow myself to indulge once in a while... I don't give myself any rules anymore," she confessed.
Sitting down with the outlet, Aniston got candid about her diet and favorite foods. "My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups and then everything I would possibly want on a weekend," she said, adding: "I always give myself a cheat day."

Aniston's meditation routine is simple but effective. She meditates for 20 minutes every morning, first thing after she wakes up. She uses the InsightTimer app, and she usually follows a guided meditation. But sometimes, she just sits in silence and focuses on her breath.
She did in fact, eat a cobb salad instead everyday consisting of chopped lettuce, chicken breast, turkey bacon, boiled egg, and so on with her co-star Lisa Kudrow.
The staple of the Jennifer Aniston diet is the Zone Diet developed by Barry Sears its known as the 40 30 30 diet. It is built upon the principle that you should eat 40 % carbohydrate 30 % Fat and 30 % Protein each day.
Aniston shared, “My body doesn't love carbs. These days, if I was being super picky, I would love to drop 5 pounds. That is just where I have always been really comfortable at about 110 to 113 pounds.
The salad Jen ate on the set of Friends was a Cobb Salad, while this salad is a riff on a tabbouleh. She shared it years ago on Instagram with the caption “My perfect salad”, and was nice enough to also list the ingredients that were inside her bowl. Celebrities — they're just like us!
While we all have different daily routines, Jennifer Aniston said as an actor she's made a “real effort” to prioritise putting herself to bed at the same time each night. For her, it's 11pm. By establishing a consistent hour, it strengthens your sleep-wake cycle.
“I do intermittent fasting, so there's no food in the morning,” Aniston said during her interview. “I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.” So how does she get by in the mornings? With coffee, of course — as well as celery juice, which has really taken off in the wellness world this year.
“It's kind of a tough one to throw back, but I do that because it's a brain food,” says Aniston. And just when you thought every wellness base was covered, the Dumplin' star adds regular probiotics, resveratrol, and collagen peptide-infused coffee to the mix, as well.
“When I wake up, I have warm lemon water and then I have a shake or avocado and eggs, which is one of my favorites,” Aniston says. “I sprinkle a little coconut oil on that. Sometimes I'll have a puffed millet cereal with a banana, or I'll do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in at the end.”
Jennifer Aniston has revealed her favourite comfort food - nachos. The Hollywood star, 55, often indulges in the cheesy treat, and even once admitted that she would still eat nachos even if they had fallen on the floor. “I love Mexican food in general,” she later said, doubling down on her obsession.
Jennifer Aniston used to eat the same salad every day for 10 years on the set of "Friends." Videos on TikTok have been going viral with what they claim was Aniston's salad recipe. Aniston has now debunked the videos and said her recipe was "totally different."
It's pretty clear: Eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water and get good sleep." But does she indulge every now and again? Of course she does! "I allow myself to indulge once in a while... I don't give myself any rules anymore," she confessed.
The Bottom Line. Witherspoon really does work hard to stay in shape with daily workouts, green smoothies and veggie-heavy meals. However, she's not afraid to enjoy the things she really loves—which includes Southern comfort food, baked goods and a gorgeous co*cktail on occasion.
Rachael Ray's weight loss stunned her fanbase and made her the talk of the town. One of the key figures in contemporary cooking, the Emmy-winning star chef has shed 40 pounds. Most of the credit goes to her simple-to-follow, plant-focused Mediterranean diet.

'Jennifer, Lisa [Kudrow] and I ate lunch together every single day for 10 years,' she said. 'And we always had the same thing - a Cobb salad. But it wasn't really a Cobb salad. It was a Cobb salad that Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don't know what.
