While Markle is careful about what she eats during the week, she also doesn't totally cut herself off from less-than-healthy foods. "I think that if you deprive yourself of something, you're just going to crave it more," she told Shape. She explained that it's all about balance, which includes sticking to her clean-eating protocol from Monday to Friday, "and then treating yourself to whatever it is you want over the weekend."
And she certainly has some favorite treats. Speaking to Delish, she explained that she's come to embrace Canadian specialties like poutine (fries covered in gravy and cheese curds) and beaver tails (funnel cakes made in the shape of beaver tails and smothered with toppings like caramel, chocolate, and/or cinnamon).
It's a good thing she sets boundaries on her indulgences considering she noted to Best Health, "I could eat French fries all day." She also told EyeSwoon that macaroni and cheese is one of her all-time favorites. "I throw some frozen peas into it and have this gooey, simple, childlike meal. I used to cook it for the kids I would babysit and I always enjoyed feeling like a kid and eating it with them," she said. "I'm also not averse to eating tater tots. With ketchup and sriracha."
