27-year-old woman eats six meals a day to stay in shape

A 27-year-old woman says she has to eat six meals a day, and snack in between meals, to keep her trim figure. Britt Lefevre says she has to eat a lot as she is “always hungry”, which isn’t surprising as she works out at least two hours a day, six times a week.

Britt said: “People think I live off lettuce and air, but I train like an athlete. I eat around six meals a day and I’m always hungry, so I plan around it. Training this much burns through everything. People – especially men – are always shocked that I eat so much.

“But I’m not scared of carbs or calories, I just balance them.”

Britt gets hundreds of messages every week from fans asking how she’s achieved her physique. She said: “People always ask what I eat and how I train to look like this. The truth is, I eat weird things – whatever keeps me on track and makes me feel strong.

"I love pickles between sets. People think it’s weird but salt is your best friend when you train hard. But the weirdest dish I go for is either instant kimchi ramen after leg day or sugar-free jelly with protein powder mixed in.

“It looks disgusting – but it hits. I’ll have protein pancakes at midnight if I’m craving something sweet. I’m a total creature of habit and aside from my seemingly odd snacks, most of my diet is very clean with lots of whole grains, vegetables, eggs, chicken, fish – all the good stuff.”

The fitness buff believes her outlandish eating habits help her stay in shape. She said: “Getting my kind of body is 100% achievable, it just takes consistency. I’ve been lifting for almost 10 years. There’s no secret shortcut, just show up, eat right and do it again and again.

“Anyone can get stronger if they stay patient and stick with it.”

After she started lifting weights at 18, Britt fell in love with the gym, likening it to therapy. In the years since, she’s built not only a muscular body but a dedicated following of fans.

She said: “I usually train around two hours a day, sometimes more if I’m filming content. I take one rest day a week, but I’m still moving – walking, stretching, something light. I love the endorphin rush.

“The gym is therapy for me – I’ll put my phone on airplane mode, blast country music and zone out. It’s my reset button.”
