Kate, who appeared on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, lives by the ABC rule: No alcohol, bread or processed carbohydrates, and goes through a 48-hour juice cleanse before every big film scene of photo shoot. In a new interview with the Evening Standard magazine, Kate reveals that she eats lean and green meals every day, with only the occasional 'cheat day', where she indulges in salty fried food. According to the newspaper, the star eats a combination of one whole egg and one white egg scrambled on a bed of spinach for breakfast, followed by a green juice and handful of almonds mid morning. For lunch, she has grilled chicken, grilled vegetables and quinoa and then tops up with a protein bar late afternoon. Kate only eats certain fruits - blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, kiwis and apples . Then for dinner she prepares a meal of sashimi of grilled chicken with a kale and cashew salad. Fans of red meat will also be disappointed - Kate lives by the rule 'if it flies or swims, it's good,' meaning bacon, steak and sausages are out of the question. She told the paper: 'For me it's about being strong, having the strength to work ten-hour days and eating healthily.' Even within the realms of healthy food, Kate has her limits - although most people would consider themselves virtuous for snacking on fruit, she only eats specific types, including blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, kiwis and apples.
