Men’s Health profiled Ryan Seacrest for the latest installment of Gym & Fridge, where we look inside his dressing room fridge backstage at Live with Kelly and Ryan, and then head Dogpound to get a glimpse of his grueling workouts. What they found is that Seacrest’s diet and exercise are as hardworking as the man himself.
QUOTES:
On cheese: “If it’s stinky, if it smells like dirty feet and makes you sweat when you eat it, I like it.”
On his 2 a.m. snack of choice: “It’s almost time to get up! So, if I’m hungry at 2 a.m. I will go, and I have almond butter in a jar, and I have this natural fruit spread. I’ll take a spoonful of almond butter and a spoonful of the jelly and eat it together like that, so it’s kind of like peanut butter and jelly without the bread.”
On why he works out so often: “Because I want to look stronger and larger than a 13-year-old kid.”
On TV “adding pounds”: “They said television adds pounds to you. Sure. I wish it added height though.”
On how he keeps his mind fit: “I discovered this thing that I didn’t do for the first forty years of my life, it’s called ‘sleep.’ I try to sleep as much as I possibly can, but I’ve just discovered it and I’m getting better at it.”
On his fitness goals: “My fitness goals are to have a healthy body so I can make it through my schedule, and I’d like to live to be 100 but not 105 because those last five years…who wants those?”
On his go-to music when he runs: “I jog to love songs. I run to slow ballads. Most recently I’ve been listening to opera when I run, don’t judge.”
On the best part of the workout for him: “The best part is when I’m finished and I’m picturing a meal afterwards.”
On who he would work out with, dead or alive: “For me it would be Frank Sinatra. I’m not sure if he worked out or not but I never had a chance to meet him and I always wanted to meet him.”
