Katy Perry Reveals Secret to Staying Slim on Tour

Unless you’ve been on tour, you probably have no idea how hard it is to stay healthy while traveling all over the world and performing night after night.  I can’t even manage to eat right on a short road trip (fast food is just so much easier!) so I can imagine it’s tough for someone like Katy Perry.

The singer explains, though, that she gets lots of rest and tries to eat right. She said: "When I was on the road, I liked to have a light soup, a piece of grilled chicken and some quinoa with grilled asparagus for dinner.  I always need my daily vitamins and I loved fresh-pressed juices and coconut water. I also love snacks, but pick healthier options like veggies and hummus, tangerines or Popchips."

Through no coincidence, the 27-year-old has been named the spokesperson for that last healthy snack that she mentioned.  She states that BBQ is her favorite flavor and that "they taste great and don't make me feel guilty about them afterwards.  Eating healthy is so important because I can't afford to get sick. When I was on the road, it was very important to eat a balanced meal and to make sure my energy was up for every two-hour show."

She also takes care of herself by getting into "a routine of waking up early, starting my day with a workout, meditating and getting fresh air." “I love being outdoors," she says. "I prefer to go on hikes or ride my bike."

It seems to be working for her!
