Alexandra Daddario is an actress from the United States who was born on March 16, 1986. Daddario made her acting debut at the age of 16 in the ABC daytime drama ‘All MY CHILDREN’, where she played a teen character.

Alexandra Daddario Diet Plan
Alexandra Daddario follows a very healthy diet plan. She prefers natural food and avoids anything that is unnatural. Daddario goes for whole foods and believes that one should not restrict oneself so much that they crave sugary foods. That is why it goes for the occasional cheat meals.
Daddario’s breakfast is packed with protein. She usually goes for the egg in a hole recipe which is very easy to cook and is packed with the right nutrition.
For lunch, she takes a healthy meal with a fruit smoothie. This ensures that she is getting the right nutrients and energy from the meal.
Finally, for dinner, Daddario eats a healthy and tasty dinner that includes salmon or grilled chicken breast with avocado or broccoli. She also refuels herself with avocado tacos and salsa. However, for the occasional snack, she prefers a protein bar or nuts.
“I eat when I’m hungry,” the 5’8″ Baywatch star, 31, told People magazine. “I try to stay away from anything unnatural, but if you are trying to stay healthy and you get too hungry, it will only be more difficult to stay away from things like too much sugar if you don’t give yourself what you want sometimes. I’m focused on being healthy and not stressing or obsessing over food.”

(b). To return to the starting position, press through your right heel; switch sides. That counts as one rep.
- RESISTANCE-BAND PUNCH
(a) Wrap a resistance band around a stable object behind you at chest level and hold one end in each hand. Punch forward with your left arm, keeping your right arm still as you step your left foot slightly ahead of your right.
(b). Return to the beginning by reversing the movement. That counts as one rep. Change sides.
- REVERSE LUNGE WITH ROW
(a). Hold one finish in each hand, arms straight, as you loop a resistance band around a stable object ahead of you at chest level. As you pull the band with you and squeeze your shoulder blades together, step your left foot back and bend each knee to lower into a lunge.

Here is a quote from trainer Patrick Murphy who trained Zac Efron and Alexandra Daddario for the movie ‘Baywatch’.
“I take every rep very seriously. I watch how someone performs, and give them cues: where to position their head; how to engage their shoulders; keep their wrists straight; tighten their abs; activate their glutes. With Zac, I helped him create positive adaptations for perfect posture and alignment, all the while going through a very high-intensity program. I also plan ahead. I consider what type of supersets I’m slating for every workout” via Mensjournal.
