Chace Crawford Shares His Diet, Splurges and Favorite Snacks [Video]

Chace Crawford doesn’t have “cheat days” with his diet — he has cheat weekends.

The Boys star, 38, appeared on the digital cover on Men’s Health and shared that although he likes to eat healthy foods, he treats himself to his favorites on the weekends.

“75-80% of the meals I’m eating are probably pretty clean — I hate that word — but the healthy thing, I’m cooking most of my meals. But on the weekends, anything goes,” he said in the outlet’s “Eat Like” video. “I’ll still throw it to a Big Mac, or a pizza, sometimes airport Egg McMuffin. I mean what can you do? When you gotta do something, you gotta do it!”

The Gossip Girl alum said he actually didn’t start to cook for himself until he was 30, and once he did, he started eating healthier. “I think cooking your own food goes a long way into not eating a bunch of crap,” he added.
