Andrew Rea, the creator of "Binging with Babish," shares his daily eating habits. He starts his day with coffee, preferring pour-over but sometimes opting for espresso. Breakfast is usually a fried egg on toast or a breakfast burrito, or he skips it altogether. He maintains a relaxed workout routine three to five times a week. Lunch is often ordered in, like grilled chicken bowls, while dinner is home-cooked, simple meals like meat and vegetables. Weekends are less strict, with indulgences like chicken parm heroes and homemade pasta dishes. He avoids cilantro due to its soapy taste to him and loves New Orleans cuisine for its slow-cooked dishes. Andrew emphasizes questioning what you're told and finding balance in diet and exercise.
