Carrie Underwood Shares the Backyard Eggs and Meals Behind Her Fitness Routine

Carrie Underwood has offered a glimpse of the meals and exercise habits that fit around her busy life as a performer, American Idol judge and mother of two. According to the article, her food choices often emphasize protein, fruit and other nutrient-rich ingredients, with eggs from the chickens she keeps in her backyard among the options she enjoys at breakfast. Underwood reportedly starts the day with either tofu scramble or egg whites, alongside Ezekiel toast, berries and coffee. She has described herself as a “wannabe vegan,” but the article says freshly laid eggs are part of her routine. At lunchtime, she may choose a vegan Tofurky sandwich with avocado, spinach and other toppings. For an afternoon snack, she sometimes reaches for a protein bar or smoothie. The singer has also spoken about a difficult period when criticism of her appearance affected her relationship with food and exercise. In remarks to Women’s Health cited by the article, she said she let negative comments become motivation. She recalled checking food labels closely and tracking time on the elliptical, while also noting that she eventually recognized she was not giving her body enough energy. “Your body is screaming out, I need more calories, I need more carbs!” she said. Underwood has since focused on rebuilding her health and strength. She launched the Fit52 workout app in 2020 with trainer Evie Overland, and the article says the app has since been rebranded as HiNote. Her CALIA activewear business, launched in 2015, is another extension of her interest in fitness and workout clothing. The article presents her routine as a mix of structured exercise and practical food choices, rather than a single strict menu. It also notes that Underwood’s schedule includes family and work commitments, making quick snacks and flexible meals part of the picture.
