Jennifer – who once stated that ‘working out is the key to her happiness’ – also makes sure to hit the gym four to five times a week.
Her ‘very, very, very intense’ training sessions include a tailored mix of different fitness techniques that focus on cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body.

Jennifer’s rigorous diet: The actress focuses on ‘clean’ and ‘unprocessed’ foods that are high in protein

But the songstress said she combats her ‘cravings’ by trying to focus on foods that are high in protein
Over the years, Jennifer has shared numerous glimpses into her rigorous diet, and it seems as though she focuses on ‘clean’ foods that are high in protein, which help ‘fuel’ her body and ‘keep her full longer.’
‘I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that she’s doing,’ one of her former trainers, Tracy Anderson, revealed to People in 2016.
‘It’s all organic and it’s all very well thought out, with the balance of very high-quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food. Everything is fresh. There’s nothing processed.’
Back in 2018, Jennifer documented everything that she ate in one day for People magazine – and all of her meals totaled 1,392 calories.
At the time, she revealed that she had started her day off with a 90-calorie berry shake.
The smoothie was made from strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice – as well as some Body Lab protein powder.
For lunch, she had a kale salad with pumpkin seeds, crumbled queso, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, shallots, and sea salt.

In between lunch and dinner, she told the outlet that she liked to munch on ‘healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables’ – and that her go-to snack was broccoli, peppers, and zucchini with a drizzle of vinaigrette.
As for what she had for dinner, the actress ate one boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with brussels sprouts and baked yams with sea salt.
At the time, she said she allowed herself to have one chocolate chip cookie for dessert, explaining, ‘I don’t deprive myself, but I’ve also learned the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.’
She added in a separate interview: ‘We’re all human. I don’t think you should beat yourself up if you make a mistake or if you have a potato chip.
‘Everyone wants a cookie or a piece of cake or fried chicken every once in while.’
While chatting about her eating habits further with Us Weekly in 2018, Jennifer explained that she likes to start with a light meal, which means she’s usually ‘starving’ by lunchtime.
She also told the outlet that she prefers to have some type of protein – like pork, salmon, or chicken – with quinoa for dinner.
‘It feels like rice and beans, which I grew up with,’ she explained. ‘[I like the meat cooked] Puerto Rican style.’
In 2019, another one of her former trainers, Dodd Romero, shared some of her other favorite dishes to Us Weekly.
He said she tries to avoid all processed foods, and enjoys things like egg whites, white meat turkey, and grass-fed beef.
While Jennifer’s high-protein and vegetable-heavy diet has seemed consistent for years now, she has tried out a few other things in the past.
She once gave veganism a go – and she and her ex-fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, decided to embark on a 10-day ‘no carbs or sugar’ challenge in 2019.
At the time, she said it ‘taught her a lot about what sugar does to the body,’ but admitted that she likely would not do it again.
In addition to being very strict about the food she puts in her body, Jennifer is also adamant about what she drinks.
She doesn’t have any caffeine or alcohol, and she always makes sure to consume a minimum of seven glasses of water a day.

Back in 2021, Jennifer’s trainer David Kirsch revealed the exact regimen that she follows to keep her body in amazing shape while speaking to Vogue magazine.
He praised the singer’s ‘focus and high energy’ throughout her ‘very, very, very intense’ workouts.
According to David, the secret to the mother-of-two’s stunning physique is a carefully-tailored mix of different fitness techniques.
‘We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts – they are very, very intense and she takes it very seriously, which is exciting for someone like me,’ he explained.
‘You say, “We’re going to do this,” and she’s like, “Great!” Her workouts are fast paced. She’s very focused and high energy.’
Some of his go-to moves include platypus walks, sumo lunges, sidekicks, and plyometric squat jumps. He also likes to use single leg deadlifts, boxing, and elements of Pilates in his workouts.
‘Jennifer and I do a lot of platypus walks with a wide stance. Also known as a sumo walking squat,’ he told the outlet. ‘Its great for your inner thighs and butt.’
In a previous interview, David explained that Jennifer likes to focus on workouts that ‘shape and tone the curves that God blessed her with.’
