Start Savory
Teigen loves eggs for breakfast. She’ll have them with avocados, turkey bacon, sausage, and of course her favorite, hot sauce. Even when she makes overnight oats, she incorporates eggs, avocado, and sriracha.

Delectable Dinners
Dinner is a time when Teigen really puts her skills to work. She adores her mother’s cooking, and makes exotic dishes like branzino with lemon, garlic, and rosemary.
Smart Snacking

For a midnight snack, Teigen might have a ham and cheese sandwich made with Velveeta and mayo.
Nix the Booze
Teigen gave up drinking alcohol after she realized she was using it to self-medicate.
