"  &amp;quot;I eat whatever I desire but in moderation. I never have alcohol, carbonated drinks, or red meat, though I do allow myself to cheat every so often, depending on the indulgence. I believe that exercise is not only for vanity but also for its health benefits.&amp;quot; 6:00 A.M. I wake up and have a cup of coffee with fat-free half-and-half and Splenda.  7:30 A.M. Breakfast varies from an egg-white omelet with feta cheese and tomato to oatmeal made with skim milk and banana. For vitamins, I take one Women&amp;#039;s Ultra Mega with 500 milligrams calcium and one 80-milligram B-vitamin complex with alpha-lipoic acid. Also, I take Bone-Up, a calcium complex.  8:15 A.M. After breakfast, I walk with my daughter to school five days a week.  9:00 A.M. I walk to the gym, where I either take a class or work out on my own five days a week. Some days it&amp;#039;s 30 to 45 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes of weight training on my own; other days it&amp;#039;s a 45-minute yoga class or a one-hour kickboxing class. I always stretch for 10 minutes and drink 16 ounces of water after my workout.  11:00 A.M. On my way to the office, I have a vanilla-flavored David Kirsch Protein Plus shake blended with some blueberries or strawberries.  2:00 P.M. Lunch is often a turkey burger on 12-grain bread and an arugula salad with tomatoes and shaved Parmesan cheese. Other days I might have some pasta with vegetables, a grilled-chicken Caesar salad (which I always have with the dressing on the side), or a tuna sandwich on 12-grain bread and a green salad topped with sliced green apples. I always drink water with lunch and keep drinking it all afternoon.  3:00 P.M. Coffee with hazelnut creamer and Splenda.  4:00 P.M. Three pieces of Werther&amp;#039;s Original hard candy. I&amp;#039;m addicted to them.  8:30 P.M. Most nights I cook at home for my family, and it is almost always grilled or steamed fish (salmon twice a week and Chilean sea bass, black cod, or halibut on the other days) with steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, snow peas, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, or leeks saut\u00E9ed in Pam cooking oil with shallots and garlic. Sometimes I make a salad as well \u2014 either mozzarella, tomato, and basil or a green salad topped with sardines \u2014 and I make my own dressing from lemon, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.  9:30 P.M. If I need something sweet, I might have a scoop of caramel ice cream or a scoop of mango sorbet for dessert. 12:00 A.M. I&amp;#039;m normally in bed by midnight, unless I have an event, and I don&amp;#039;t eat anything right before I go to sleep.  What the Experts Say Nutrition Says Glassman: &amp;quot;Like Gabby, Iman needs to make sure that her breakfast always has protein or fat with fiber. Adding a few high-fiber GG Scandinavian crackers or a hard-boiled egg will round out the meal and stave off midmorning hunger. Instead of fat-free half-and-half or creamer, which has no calcium, Iman should substitute skim milk in her coffee. Iman&amp;#039;s lunch is great, though she should make sure her tuna sandwich is made with chunk light tuna, which has less mercury. The candy Iman has in the afternoon will spike her blood sugar and give her a fake energy boost. For energy that will last through the afternoon, she should opt for a yogurt or some edamame instead, both of which have protein to keep her more satisfied. Finally, a lot of women cook with Pam to cut down on fat, but Iman would be better off using all-natural vegetable oil or olive oil that she can spray from a Misto sprayer, available at any cooking store.&amp;quot; Fitness Says Murphy: &amp;quot;One thing all three women are doing extremely well is staying away from alcohol, which can really set you back in your workouts. I love that Iman is doing weight-bearing exercise and strength training in addition to yoga, which improves flexibility and lengthens muscles. However, she should try working with a trainer when she lifts weights, as it&amp;#039;s absolutely crucial to have someone watching your form, posture, and alignment. Incorrect form puts unnecessary strain on your body and can eventually lead to injury. Finally, Iman should do her weight training before cardio. Your body has a limited supply of glycogen, which is required for resistance training. If you do lifting first, muscles get the glycogen they need, and your cardio will burn fat rather than glycogen.&amp;quot; \u2014 As told to Caitlin Gaffey "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
