- Hi, I'm Ashley Graham and this is everything I eat in a day. (playful music) The first thing I do when I wake up is, well I don't set an alarm
because Isaac is my alarm and it's this little baby monitor and all of a sudden around
six o'clock I hear, "Wah wah." And I go and I get Isaac, and then we come back to bed and we have snuggles
and I feed him in bed. And then we usually turn on Maverick City Christian Worship Music. It's like rock music. And he jams out for
like a good 15 minutes. And then that's when
I go into the kitchen. I am a high, high, high
caffeine coffee drinker. I can't believe I'm telling you this but I have... three to four cups a day. Do not judge me, do not
come for me in the comments, it is my life. I drink about a gallon of
water a day to, you know, counteract all the caffeine. I'm not a tea girl. I take my coffee hot and black. Sometimes I go out for a special coffee like a latte with oat milk. My favorite coffee place down
the street is called Butler. I live in Dumbo, mm, so good. In the morning I eat breakfast right away. I am a big breakfast eater. Also I'm breastfeeding, and like, we have to take in so many calories when we're breastfeeding, so I feel like a bottomless
pit at all times. Usually I make scrambled eggs and that's also what Isaac eats as well. What I like to do is I like to take out
this little frying pan and I spray a little bit
of coconut oil on it, just a little bit. (clicks) And I take two eggs, put them
in, put some oat milk in, season it with a little
Himalayan sea salt, and then I scramble it in the
pan while it's getting hot. I kind of like 'em runny and the oat milk brings
this fluffiness to it. Oh, it is so good. And at the same time I'm
putting in a gluten-free bread. I am obsessed with bread, but recently I cut gluten out, game changer. If you are tired and your joints hurt, just cut out gluten for a couple of days, I saw the difference immediately. So I like to put a little
bit of dairy free butter on my toast. I kind of go a little bit ham, because in my head I'm like, "It's not real butter,
it's dairy free butter." It's the same calories, whatever. And then I put my eggs on top and I eat it like an open face sandwich. Oh! And then at the same time,
I don't really ever sit down because I have a little baby that's usually watching
Moana in a high chair and then I'll probably be
making my second cup of coffee. And depending on if I
want to have a juice, I love the brand Natalie's, it's like this perfect,
like, little bit of tartness. That's my morning breakfast. And then I can get my day started. Which means I'm probably
going straight to the computer and I'm answering emails after emails. 'Cause I like to get my
work done in the morning so I feel much more accomplished
at the end of the day. And a lot of what I've been
doing right now is my podcast, "Pretty Big Deal". Prepping for it, getting
ready for my interviews, researching who I actually
want to be interviewing. For days on set, what I'll do is my favorite bone broth is
from this place in New York called Brodo. It is sho yummy. I keep 'em in my freezer, so I'll pop one of those in my bag. When I'm there I'll maybe have someone order
me a gluten-free cookie. And that's kind of like
what I'll have on set to keep my energy up. And I'll probably have another coffee. Some other snacks that
I like to have on set nearby when I'm working are peanut M&M's, specifically peanut
M&M's, they warm my heart, and avocado with sea salt and
a little bit of olive oil. Oh, the creaminess of the avocado! Speaking of snacks, I love anything uber
wet, cold, and crunchy. (crunching) So where were we? Lunch! Usually what I eat for lunch, I will have a Sweetgreen salad. (sighs) When I was pregnant, I thought that I was
going to be craving like, mac and cheese, fried chicken,
like all of my indulgences, but I just needed like a
big ol' Sweetgreen salad, sometimes two for lunch
when I was pregnant. But now that I'm not eating
for two I just have one. I usually like to have a romaine lettuce. Parmesan chips with an
avocado, chicken, carrots, cucumber, a honey mustard or
like a spicy chipotle dressing. I'm like really thinking about this because now my mouth is watering and I might need a Sweetgreen salad. So dinner. Usually I'm having dinner around 6:00 PM. That's also by the nature of the fact that Isaac goes down around 8:00 PM. My friends call it the early bird special or granny's delight. You can always find a reservation at 6:00 PM in New York City. But also I just feel
better when I eat early. And then that way later, if I'm gonna have a little snack, I can
have something light, but I don't feel like I'm
heavy when I go to bed. I don't cook, so I'm kind of at the mercy of whoever's around me to cook for me, or delivery. (laughs) But my husband, oh, God bless Justin. 'Cause he can cook! Woo woo! For the first two weeks
after I had had Isaac we ate the same thing every
day, creatures of habit. We had lamb stew every night
and it is unbelievable. It takes two hours to make,
he cooks it all on the stove and it's like lamb, purple
potatoes, whole garlic, and then he puts it in the
oven for an hour and a half. And when it comes out, it kind of is like, you have to stir it 'cause
it looks kind of gross and then all of a sudden it's like Ah.
(angelic choir singing) But it's super delicious, super filling, and especially after you have a baby they say to eat lots of like
really hot nutritional food. And the meat that we get
is from my favorite butcher in Park Slope called Fleisher's. They've got a farm upstate, we know where the animals came from, and I just I really love their butchery. So on nights that aren't, you know, we don't have two hours
to make a lamb stew, and when I say we, I mean Justin, he'll make this thing
called general chicken, and it's not General's
chicken like Chinese food, it's just called general chicken because it's literally
just general chicken on the stove top with
garlic, salt, and pepper. I think like he adds chicken stock and it just makes the chicken
so moist on the inside and we'll call it a night, we'll try to super healthy in the evenings because I probably ate
way too many peanut M&M's throughout the day. On Thursday nights Justin
and I do date night, because you know, to
have a happy marriage, you do date nights! I will treat myself to two
tequilas, two margaritas, oh, I love a margarita. I love the salt around the rim. I love the tartness with the sweetness. Sometimes I'll do a mezcal
if I feel a little shmoky, but usually I just like to
stick to like a regular tequila. I don't have a favorite
brand yet, but you know, maybe I'll be like many of
the other men and make my own. Okay, just putting that out there. Then we go to Al Mar usually, which is my favorite
local restaurant in Dumbo. And I always get the Bronzino filleted with a side of broccoli and I
start with the endive salad. Oh, oh the crunch.
(angelic choir singing) It's like a cucumber, fricking love cucumbers. (crunching) It's just so good. I'm not going to lie, I do order it out like
probably three times a week. It's amazing. My favorite food city has
to be Calabria, Italy. (sighing) Justin's family lives
in the South of Italy and they live in this
little town called Calabria. Oh my, I mean, just like literally, like anything you can think
of that has to do with Italy, they make it homemade right there in their little beach house. So my absolutely favorite
thing to eat is the cannolis. Get this. It's a hot summer day. So we're sitting on their porch, we're looking at the beach, it's gorgeous. And a guy rolls up in a Vespa, and he knocks on the door and just hands Justin's cousin a bag. And it's the cream that
goes inside of the canolli, and he puts it in the
freezer and he's like, "That's what we'll have tonight." So after we have our big-ass dinner and my stomach is like out to here full, we then just engorge on these cannolis and you make 'em yourself. And you know, that I go in. So the next morning we
have it with breakfast, and now I invented my own way of eating the cannoli for breakfast and I was putting it on watermelon. Call me crazy, but it was like a miracle
of explosions in my mouth. And I can't wait to go
back to Italy next year. For late night snacking,
I'll give Isaac a bath, I'll put him down, and then ♪ I have some me time ♪ So that's usually when I'll either pull out my frozen dark
chocolate out of my freezer because I think that dark
chocolate frozen is the best. And I'll just do a little,
just break it off, suck on it. Oh, I love it. And one of my favorite things
to eat is sliced apples. Pink ladies. Exactly pink ladies drizzled
with peanut butter on top. (claps) I mean, it is so good. And that is everything I eat in a day. Make sure you go and check out my podcast. Season three, "Pretty Big Deal". You can watch and listen to it wherever you listen to
podcasts and on YouTube. Thanks for watching! (kisses) (upbeat music)
