Heidi Klum steps on scales, reveals daily calories during Instagram Live

Former supermodel Heidi Klum stepped onto the scales and detailed her very low daily calorie intake during a live Q&A session.

Heidi Klum weighed herself during an Instagram Live session.

Heidi Klum has opened up about her weight and eating habits in a candid recent social media post.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, 50, shared during a now-expired Q&A on her Instagram Story on Monday that she only eats up to 900 calories a day.

Her daily meal reportedly kicks off with a low-calorie breakfast that consists of three poached eggs in warm chicken broth, reports Page Six.

A follower then asked Klum to share her current weight, so she pulled out a scale and stepped on it with her bare feet.

The America’s Got Talent judge even took off her cheetah-print cover-up for accuracy.

The scale toggled back and forth between 137 (62.1kgs) and 139 pounds (63kgs) until Klum ultimately revealed in a separate Instagram Story that she weighs 138 pounds (62.6kgs).

The supermodel opened up during a Q&A session.

She stepped onto the scales at the request of a fan.

The German-born model stands 175cm tall, so according to the US National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute, her body mass index is within a normal range.

Klum also revealed she eats only 900 calories a day.

It’s significantly less than the recommended required daily intake for women.

However, medical experts recommend that women have a daily intake of 2,000 calories.

Klum has always been very candid with the public about her dietary habits.

In 2008, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model shared that she would munch on small meals every three hours, never eat after 8pm and grab an apple whenever her hunger kicked back in.

However, over the years, Klum has become more lax about what she eats in order to not make it feel like such a chore — yet she still prioritises healthy foods.

“In the beginning, I had to [be disciplined about food] and now I’m just so used to it,” the mother of three told Red Magazine in 2020, according to the Daily Mail.

“There are so many choices, just pick the right things. Because then you don’t have the struggle.”
