Jamie Alexander Shares Her Daily Food Diary

Jamie Alexander, who stars in NBC’s drama Blindspot, recently shared her daily food diary that allows her to perform her physically and mentally demanding role. The drama actor knows that she has to be on top of her game at all times, and it shows in her performance.

The 31 year old actress said that she usually has long days and does not have any time to dine. So, it is important for her to have healthy snacks. She says that she needs something that she can eat between her scenes to boost her energy, make her feel full, and keep the metabolism functioning well.

Fortunately, a close friend helps her in maintaining a healthy diet plan to maintain her stamina by eating the right food. Ky Furneaux, her stunt double, has been her friend for more than a decade and both reside in the same residence when filming the TV show in New York.

Alexander says that she saw Ky following a strict diet to stay fit and mentally alert through her acts. She gained inspiration from her and asked her about the diet and its benefits. The answer was simple – she needed to eat the right food with balanced nutrients. While she sticks to her diet, she doesn’t deny herself an occasional treat like cookies and chocolates. Healthy eating is part of her lifestyle and not a chore that she dreads. This is her secret to look and stay healthy and fit.
