“I had two Altoids — that counts for the calorie total!” she jokes of a whirlwind day in NYC promoting her gig as the newest member of the Eucerin Skin First Council. “And a bottle of water.”
OUR EXPERT SAYS: On-the-go energy — “Pack a small bag of pistachios or mixed nuts and throw in half an ounce of dark chocolate.”
Lunch:

During lunch at the OK! office, “I had half a chicken bánh mì Vietnamese-style sandwich on a baguette with lettuce, carrots and a mayonnaise based sauce,” says Gail, who nixed the cupcakes.

Gail's Score:B
"Gail is eating lots of real food and a nice proportion of nutrients — lean protein, carbs and fat,” says Keri. “However, the white bread, dessert, wine and skipped snack bring her down to a B. Gail also has a good consistent moderate exercise routine to burn any extra calories. Consistency is key!”
