when they go "out"? It seems they are always out "partying" (Britney Spears, etc.) or at restaurants......yet they still look smoking hot......so what exactly are they eating at these restaurants and what are they drinking while clubbing?

    They go to the bathroom and throw it all up and eat and drink some more. Then the next day they tell their personal chef that they can eat only 800 calories today because they over indulged last night. And they call their personal trainer who calls them "dahling" and tells them to move their *kitten* some more.

    lean meats like chicken & fish with no oils or butter. veggies, no starches.
    vodka & lime juice, or tequila & lime juice. no drinking calories.

    drinking lots of water to avoid feeling hungry.

    When Britney's in shape it's because she dances hours and hours on end every day so she can eat her Fritos and frappuccinos.

    Others eat very little. Very few of them talk about it, but if you see some of the things someone like Julianne Moore has said. Victoria Beckham basically only eats vegetables, a few slivers of sashimi and drinks lots of tea.

    As someone who used to be super skinny, it's usually due to great "hunger meters" and/or plenty of time to work out. They all most likely have personal trainers and the time to work out for hours each day. On top of that, their body knows when they've had enough. They may go out drinking and eating out on weekends, but the next day, or during the week, they'll probably eat lighter. I used to be (and still am for the most part) this way. If I go out to eat at Chili's, I probably will have just an egg or piece of fruit for breakfast the next day because I'll still be full from the night before. I imagine most people in Hollywood are similar, or at least watch what they eat. I think most of the problem for "average" people is that we sometimes tend to ignore or try to override our natural hunger sensors. We tend to think we need to eat every meal until we're stuffed and eat at least three meals a day, when in reality, we only need to eat until our hunger is mostly gone and we only need to eat when out body needs fuel.

    Gwenyth Paltrow lives off chlophyll shots, hard boiled egg whites, asparagus, and salad with no dressing and a little salmon. Doesn't sound worth it to me.

    You might ask me the same question if you see me out eating hot wings on the weekend. You may wonder how I can eat like that and still be losing weight. The reality is that I may eat over 3k calories on a Saturday. But what someone who may see that doesn't see is how low my calorie input is through the week to keep my calorie average for the week at something like 1700 per day. What you see is very often not a snapshot of reality.

    lots of protein and water and they train. It is their job, after all to look good. And, look good, they do. Props to them for their hard work.

    I'm willing to bet that if you took a survey of the 'in shape stars', you'd find the same wide range of nutrition and exercise philosophies that you find on MFP. Some will eat faddy diets, some will be vegan, or paleo, or what-have-you, some will be IIFYM. Some will just be eating instinctively.

    I'm willing to bet, though, that what they'll all have in common is a reasonable calorie intake relative to their daily activity, and a varied exercise regime including cardio and resistance training.

    Also, cocaine and heroin (depending on what kind of celebrity you are) will keep your weight right down.

    well where else would you put it?

    basically I wanted some motivation of things I can eat when I am out and trying to enjoy myself....because that's been my problem.....every beer I drink I feel guilty, every chciken wing I eat I feel guilty......so trying to finds some different ideas so I can actually enjoy myself semi-guilt free (motivation for myself)

    I've found this to be the most useful post so far

    I think a lot of thin famous people have weird disordered eating issues, as least based on what they say in magazine interviews. Bizarre restrictions of entire food groups, lots of "food allergies" that aren't really, new agey stuff that has to do with restricting certain foods for BS spiritual reasons or whatever. Basically, they don't eat very much and for wacky reasons.

    that was a good response. My question was in regard to those jokingly answering cocaine, etc. I could see if this was in the chit chat section, but its in the motivation and support section.

    Also selection bias. People who become famous entertainers started out being exceptionally attractive and thin in the first place. So being naturally thin with fast metabolism is probably part of it too. And simply being young. I ate a lot of junk in my teens and early 20s and was thin then anyway. Eventually it caught up to me!

    Why do you feel guilty? Because you feel you've undone all the hard work? Or because you've strayed away from your normal eating patterns?
    IMO, you shouldn't feel guilty about what you eat. It's HOW MUCH you eat that you should be concerned with.

    Linda Hamilton trained for 3 hours a day / 6 days per week for the film Terminator 2. She worked with a personal trainer and ate a low fat/high protein diet. She lost 12 pounds and got down to 14% body fat. She also worked with an Israeli commando instructor to prepare for the film.
