I just saw a video by a nutritionist who is also a former dancer who reviewed this video. She calculated about 1600 calories and said it's waaay too little for someone burning up to 3000 calories a day. It doesn't matter how small she is, if she regularly eats just about half the calories she burns she can't stay healthy..
@@Julieseven That makes sense. Personally when I spend 1200-3000 calories on a hike, I'm fully ravenous for two days and probably eat 2000 calories a day and still lose weight. I don't really see how this girl's intake is sustainable at all.
Looking at her life makes me feel how good she must feel! So active and eating so well, stretching, sleeping a full night and drinking lots of water 😌 And it really shows in her demeanor! I am currently no where near this as an overworked student but I'm excited to get back to this one day
@@sierraloza8730 Well, most people do want these things, but they're too tired to follow through. Let's not act like the exploitative job market isn't taking a toll on people.
I love that she gives classic California joyful/surfer/tomboy vibes TOTALLY balanced with ultra feminine and beautiful ballerina vibes!!!! Yes glorious pirouette at the end!! 🥰👌🏽✨
I loved watching this video. I am 62, 63 in June and my life long dream was to be a professional ballerina. Studied it for 2 years when I was 22-24 and I loved it. Then my teacher moved to Taiwan and my classes were over because he taught true classical ballet and I didn't want to erase the real stuff with other stuff that was not true classical ballet. But, I still love and wished that I had been a professional dancer. Thank you for sharing.
When I did ballet I used to eat less but my protein intake was very high so I’d stay full for a lot of time. However I was just a pre teen so I guess my body just worked differently...
I love her!!!!!! As a former ballerina 🩰 it feels so good to see my sisters of the craft out there helping others with awesome food ideas! I’d still be dancing if l didn’t hurt my hip and ankle. Please Scout keep making these videos!
Just remember everybody has different nutritional needs, so it is never a good idea to copy somebody else’s diet. I saw many people saying this promotes under eating, so I would recommend focusing on the good relationship she seems to have with food, the good habit of cooking your own meal and how excited she seems about her healthy meals. These are good things to get inspired by and apply on one’s life. Again, do not copy the diet itself, because everybody has different needs. Stay safe, everybody
Exactly. I hate it when people jump to conclusions about other peoples eating habits and caloric intake. It is scientifically proven that different people need a different amount of calories depending on their body type/nutritional needs. Nothing about this video suggests Scout has an ED. It’s extremely dangerous for people to assume she does and label her.
@@daphnedumaurier5422she shouldn’t be diagnosed with an ED because that is a mental illness with specific symptoms, but the amount she is eating is very clearly too little based on her being a professional athlete. If she was like an office worker that would be completely different
She seems like she has a really great relationship with food - eating healthy whole foods that fuel her body, but choosing things she truly enjoys, too.
@@starflakeable everyone has different bodies that require different amounts of food. She also probably can’t eat too much before and during classes because then she wouldn’t be able to dance. Everyone requires different amounts of food for energy.
@@theorca3451 yess i agree, but everyone does need the bare minimum of kcal in a day to be healthy and she ate way too little to do soo. There ia a professional nutritionist who reviewed this and said the same. Watch Abbey Sharp.
Am I the only one who feels she does not eat that much food? With 7 hours of ballet a day I would genuinely have thought she would have had more food. For example she had only one piece of bread in the morning to accompany the egg and the avocado. It kind of stresses me out, I eat more than her and by no means am I so active O.o EDIT: Thanks for all the answers! I am not trying to criticize her diet (I really love her and follow her on several media plus I trust she does the rights choices for herself) but rather to understand it as I was genuinely surprised. I pay a lot of attention to my food and eat mostly vegetables, organic, non-processed etc. but still, I do eat more (I am french and its a bit cliché but for ex I eat a LOT more bread) without being particularly active and I am not overweight. Which is why I thought someone as active would need more food (I notably think of Natacha Océane's videos where she seems to eat more carbs and more sweets). Edit 2: ok I saw a dietician review where she confirmed this was not enough at all! I don't blame Scout but Glamour for posting such inconsiderate content and for not taking it down. This video made me feel bad about myself until I got the proper informations.
I feel like there could deffo be some easy protein added! Like some nuts with the morning fruit or chickpeas in the veggie soup, which would make some of these meals and snacks a little more substantial.
Not at all, what she's eating looks perfectly fine! She's eating appropriate portions of nutrient-dense foods. There's nothing wrong with "only" one slice of bread with breakfast, that's what a serving size is. Not to mention that you don't want a really heavy meal sitting in your stomach right before you're jumping around and spinning (I'm a martial artist, can confirm it's the fastest way to barf-town).
Yeaaaa...I counted about 1300 calories there......theres a 1/2 avo, 1 egg, slice bread. an apple. Veggie soup., some chips, salmon and veg and another apple...maybe 1500? with 7 hours of ballet? Unless she's under 5 feet tall thats not a lot of food.
I admit I never took ballet nor read glamour but the chemistry you all have with Scout is so refreshing. She’s a breath of fresh air naturally but also the way you set up and frame everything for us to follow along each video is so helpful. I’m a former journalist so the details you add are noticeable and helpful
When I was losing weight after my daughter I quit drinking alcohol almost completely and would drink kombucha instead, so I love that she mentioned it kind of as an alcohol replacement lol
She is absolutely adorable. I got interested in ballet and ballerinas because they have this just grace, elegance and just ethereal lightness when they’re on stage…. And then you watch things like this where they’re dancing like an absolute nerd because they cooked their egg perfectly and it makes me think that maybe I can be a ballerina, too. Love these little behind the scenes peaks, and Scout has such a gorgeous personality ❤
Loved this so much, she seems so educated on how to eat balanced meals and is so in tuned with her body. This inspired me to cook something tasty and nutritious!
My coworker was a serious marathon runner and she did like. Iron man triathalons and she would keep Himalayan salt crystals on her and just take it like pills with water to prevent cramps
Only do this if you’re getting a lot of physical activity though! When you sweat you lose a lot of sodium. If you’re not getting at least an hour of sweaty exercise a day you don’t need to add salt to your water.
you never really know what it’s like to be a dancer until you are part of it. It’s like a separate little community and the feeling doing a show/ competition is so unique and you don’t think a bit anything else. It’s like a little community that you are part of
When they are older and naturally stop laying the eggs you should just let them retire lmao, they need the calcium that would go into laying the eggs (in the shell)
As a Professional dancer myself and fitness instructor, please please please don't mistake this as a 'normal' diet. She is eating way under what a Ballerina should eat for that amount of working out. Even for a normal person who isn't working out 8-9 hours a day. This makes me sad to see the perpetuation of old and antiquated stereotypes of stick-thin dancers who basically have a carb-free diet. Im not attacking her as a person, just sad that this is an acceptable 'example' of what a ballerina eats.
@@tracid830 yes but you don't know the context, does she eat like this everyday? what is her usual metabolism? has she had a yoyo diet or eating disorder in the past? how quickly she has dropped weight , did she gain weight being on quarantine? Questions which quite frankly are none of our business and I am sorry to be even asking them... but just saying that context is important for being such a visible example. Younger dancers are going to look at the very little calories and carbs in particular that she eats during the day as a professional ballerina who trains a full-time schedule and think that is normal and mores, the most of what a ballet dancer should eat.
I agree. If we were to emulate what she ate that day over a period of week it would make us tired and Ill, however I did get the sense that she ate less earlier in the day in order to not feel bloated? She does look healthy so maybe she eats more on her off days to offset the defect
Tip: A great snack when any muscles start cramping is a banana. Bananas have three key nutrients which help relax and ease muscle contractions: potassium, calcium and magnesium. So the next time you are having cramps grab a banana.
Dancer here. She’s referring to her muscles, not her physical shape. You could look amazing, but if you haven’t danced as intensely in a while you have to ease your muscles back in otherwise they go into shock and you end up injured. Personal example: last year over lockdown my hip flexors tightened up a little (like it was hardly even noticeable). This resulted in a back injury when I went back to dancing 9am - 7pm as my body tried to compensate but didn’t have the glute activation/strength to support the spine in that way. One tiny change can impact muscles all over the body.
yeah everyone is praising her but it still seems like very little food overall for the amount of dancing she does ..but it is healthy and nutritious which is nice. i guess for a ballerina that amount is as good as it gets
if u actually do the math she does not eat nearly as many calories as she should based on her level of physical activity and thats probably why she's always so hungry😨 but ballerinas are pressured to conform to a certain body standard so :(
@@foxmotif what's good is that American ballerinas don't have to be as thin as some other countries, so god knows how much more she would need to train or eat less for that! The metabolism must slow down I'm sure to accommodate that sort of diet, and it's understandable if you need to stand on your toes all day 🙈
Just FYI for anyone scared of microwaves: the electromagnetic radiation of microwave ovens is non-ionizing (Uranium or Plutonium for example are radioactive and therefore ionizing) and stops as soon as the power is cut off. The heating is effected by causing the water molecules in the food or liquid to vibrate - this "movement" generates thermal energy, in turn heating the food. So unless you operate an oven without a door and stand directly in front of it, nothing happens.
I made the soup recipe bc it looked good and I just added some kidney beans for a little added protein and fiber for satiety and it’s the bommmmbbb omg. Like it’s simple but the russet potatoes really make the combo sing
Hearing that Scout didn’t grow up with a microwave is so shocking since I grew up with my mom making meals using the microwave (Hamburger Helper). I’ve only known people who have microwaves but the family I’ve started babysitting for, they don’t have one. They have a toaster oven which also serves as a microwave, but I’ve never used a toaster oven
As a former dancer who had a similar schedule as her eating protein is essential with that amount of physical activity. Getting those veggies in with a green powder as well as some hearty veggies should be a daily habit. But me personally, would need a little more than what she is doing. I usually needed a a good hearty sandwich by lunch time.
Scout said in the beginning of the video how she is trying get back in to shape so she maybe trying to lose weight but I do got say that her caloric intake is pretty low for ballet dancer. But she may have some reasons like when she said that soup/salad helped her performance and having something light helped her not feel so "weighed down". Her preferences also could be reason for her very low calorie intake she even admitted she preferred fruits and vegetables. A ballet dancer burns between 2,000 to 3,000 calories on an average day so she needs to eat enough food to have sustainable energy for all the things she does. As reminder she might eat more on other days. Was looking at comment and they calculated her overall intake to be 1,400 which might not be enough for her as ballet dancer. She is a very dedicated to her profession and hope the best for her.
Scout’s relationship with food was sooooo inspiring!! Like she eats bread, burrito, donuts but she still eats healthy and is healthy!! I never really wanted to do a diet because I feel like I couldn’t handle starvation but she ate things that I eat regularly!! It made me feel more healthy and now I just wanna go a make salmon or something 😂
Have you seen her eating a burrito? I’ve just seen her eat half avocado and 1 egg, munch a few crisps, drink soup, eat less than 100 grams of salmon and veggies. That’s just enough to keep going.
@@TheFlowMind no i didn’t but she mentioned some of the things she orders out like a burrito bowl (I think?) and pad Thai. She also said that if she feels like eating a doughnut, she’ll do it too!😊
@@mishmajoseph2503 She probably never "feels for it", she is a terrible case of undereating. When she "indulges" she has 3 puffs of something that is almost air.
This is simply sad. When you hear someone who is on a calorie restricted diet saying - after having danced for hours - that "these puffy snacks make ME FEEL full"...yup.
@@spamgarbage6999 it would be fine if she ate more and added a few things (like protein in the soup), but she doesn't. this is way too low calorie to be healthy and it shows in her energy levels.
@@frankiethey her bodies calorie deficit is not something insane because her body has adapted to how much she exercises after years of doing it. Massaii trubesmen had their calorie expenditure measured and it was the same as obese americans who sit all day And Its why obese people hit a plateau when they strive to lose weight their body is adapting to the amount of exercise they do and their expenditure goes down. This is an absolutely healthy diet and not only that she talks about drinking alcohol and ordering takeout/ burritos when she fees like it. If one of yall on here were doing the amt of exercise she did all of a sudden this diet would be a problem for you.
Very lil calories overall. I couldn't do that without heavy protein throughout the day. Like pb with those apples. Or a turkey sandwich on grain bread for lunch. Those avocados are great the fats are healthy.
“People have the impression that ballerinas subsist on a daily diet of an apple and yogurt-that’s completely untrue! We wouldn’t have the energy to dance. Dancers watch what they eat and just avoid fatty foods because they’re bad for the joints. Not too much alcohol either, because toxins get in the muscles. Especially not white wine; it’s acidic. Red wine is fine in small doses. Dancers eat a lot of pasta and slow-release carbohydrates, especially before shows. Not too many fast-release carbohydrates, because they give you energy for five minutes, and then it’s all over. We sometimes eat chocolate bars to get a boost before dancing or during intermission. Basically, we eat everything in moderate quantities. What makes dancers so thin is exercise.” -Agnes Letestu
Isn't that basically the ideal meal? Vegetables and protein. Plenty of carbs in the vegetables. She also had plenty of fat with the avocado, oil, almond dip and added seeds on her salad.
This is the healthiest balance of nutrition, passion and self-care I’ve seen in a while, love it and will steal some of these daily habits to improve my routine! Plus, how cute is she! Thanks, Scout!
these are the amount of calories that an average fairly inactive person should be eating in a day...not a professional athlete who spent the entirety of the day doing probably intensive exercise.
I understand what you are getting at, could she eat more? Maybe, but dancing with a full belly is honestly one of the worst feelings ever so it’s a balance of constant refueling but not over fueling your body
Ikr lmfao I can’t imagine being this physically active but consuming such low counts of calories. I mean maybe once u get used to it? But she must be in calorie deficit or smth.
@@AM-nv5ww if she feels uncomfortable dancing with a full belly then she should reaaaaaally be consuming large amounts of calories for dinner. I don't think there's a good reason to be consuming so few calories with a lifestyle like this. and tbh i think this video is kinda irresponsible to even post. clearly all of these "she's so healthy/has such a good relationship with food" comments show the skewed perception of what is healthy/a healthy relationship with food.
She literally had carbs at every meal. The bread at breakfast, the vegetable soup (especially if she adds a grain like farro as she said, and root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, potatoes) has tons of carbs. Her snacks were carbs. Then all the veggies at dinner. Most of her carbs are fibrous, as opposed to starchy - but they are carbs. Vegetables are carbohydrates.
@@k819849 It's a very low calorie diet for the amount of activity she's doing, but she said she'd getting back into shape for a performance so presumably she's actively trying to lose weight.
Sautée any kind of vegetables/legumes you have laying around ( previously washed diced and peeled ) , then keep adding hot water. Once they're cooked, it´s up to you, to drain and ad greens to the stock, or puré everything if you prefer it creamy.
this is NOT a healthy amount of food at all - especially for a ballerina. I used to dance ballet, and in our company we got kicked out if we ate that little. and if we started to eat more we had a week back as a trial run, nutritionists followed us for the week and if we’d gotten to a healthier amount we were allowed back - I know it’s a lot but dancers need to eat a lot to have energy and be ok. there’s missing a lot of proteins for scout :( hence I’m not there lol, I have an ED.
"Do you ever drink water before you have to pee" I felt that
I always do that.
Hahahhaha, saaaame, I wake up, my bladder is blasting, but I reach for my water first or I DIE :D
dude i've drank water WHILE peeing😂
Especially in the car 😅
Same!
For everyone wondering:
Breakfast
- Avocado 1/2 = 125
- Slice bread = 80
- Egg = 70
Snack
- Apple = 80
Lunch
- Veggie soup = 265 (estimate)
- Cookie = 60 (estimate)
Snack
- Hippeas 100
Dinner
- Salmon & Veg 525 (estimate)
Dessert = 200 (estimate)
Total = 1495 (Someone check my math. I added quick).

Tip: A great snack when any muscles start cramping is a banana. Bananas have three key nutrients which help relax and ease muscle contractions: potassium, calcium and magnesium.
So the next time you are having cramps grab a banana.
I didn’t know there were anti-microwavers 😂😂😂
Seriously, I can’t live without microwave 🤣
Some people don't like them cause of the radiation. I personally love my microwave though. 😆
My microwave died on me and I already miss it
I don’t own one. Not because of the radiation but I feel like food tastes better when it’s freshly made.

When she says “get back in shape”
Ballerina have to be in great shape to dance. In shape doesn't mean skinny necessarily it means she needs to keep strong to dance.
Dancer here. She’s referring to her muscles, not her physical shape. You could look amazing, but if you haven’t danced as intensely in a while you have to ease your muscles back in otherwise they go into shock and you end up injured.
Personal example: last year over lockdown my hip flexors tightened up a little (like it was hardly even noticeable). This resulted in a back injury when I went back to dancing 9am - 7pm as my body tried to compensate but didn’t have the glute activation/strength to support the spine in that way. One tiny change can impact muscles all over the body.
@@marysdanceworld6066 I had the same back thing when I tried picking my schedule back up.
Yeah. Cuz she's not in her peak athletic shape. Not everything is about vanity.
@@amethyst4990 yea thanks
man i loved this girls energy thru the entire video
If this is how she eats with 9 hours of physical activity...i see why I'm fat lmaooo
yeah everyone is praising her but it still seems like very little food overall for the amount of dancing she does ..but it is healthy and nutritious which is nice. i guess for a ballerina that amount is as good as it gets
😂😂🤣
Same haha 😂
if u actually do the math she does not eat nearly as many calories as she should based on her level of physical activity and thats probably why she's always so hungry😨 but ballerinas are pressured to conform to a certain body standard so :(
@@foxmotif what's good is that American ballerinas don't have to be as thin as some other countries, so god knows how much more she would need to train or eat less for that! The metabolism must slow down I'm sure to accommodate that sort of diet, and it's understandable if you need to stand on your toes all day 🙈
What a lovely girl, I loved how she lovingly caressed that hen aw!!
I’m a dancer major in college focusing on dance science she has her life together 😭 I skip on food sm.
@Hrt D to study I take a lot of science classes so I won’t eat bc I gotta cook 😭
@Hrt D I’m vegetarian 😭 I’ll eat a snack but it’s not a full meal plus I have ibs which makes most “bad” stuff hurt my stomach
@@mauve3734 two words, pre pack. I’m a uni student and sacrificing some time off my sleep to do that is the best bet you got
She does... you’ll get there. She has been doing this foe years that’s why you.
She’s so charismatic! I love everything about her! ❤️✨
I cannot explain how much I love that she is a professional ballerina but still has such a healthy relationship with food
We need good food eating
She should start her own channel. I love her videos!!
Just FYI for anyone scared of microwaves: the electromagnetic radiation of microwave ovens is non-ionizing (Uranium or Plutonium for example are radioactive and therefore ionizing) and stops as soon as the power is cut off. The heating is effected by causing the water molecules in the food or liquid to vibrate - this "movement" generates thermal energy, in turn heating the food.
So unless you operate an oven without a door and stand directly in front of it, nothing happens.
She’s so pretty! And cool and happy and chill
when she asked about the water thing I was like *gasp* “I do that “
Morning Scout is such a mood.
I made the soup recipe bc it looked good and I just added some kidney beans for a little added protein and fiber for satiety and it’s the bommmmbbb omg. Like it’s simple but the russet potatoes really make the combo sing
I love her!! So sweet and down to earth...xxJ
Lol I legit didn't know how to make a poached eggs. It was cute seeing her happy for the success 😊
She inspired me to make a poached egg! It didn't come out as perfect as hers, though. :)
@Hrt D It was yummy! I made sauteed spinach instead of avocado. :)
@Hrt D Ikr? Not a big fan. :)
@Hrt D 🥰
Scout radiates such Bestie vibes!
Hearing that Scout didn’t grow up with a microwave is so shocking since I grew up with my mom making meals using the microwave (Hamburger Helper). I’ve only known people who have microwaves but the family I’ve started babysitting for, they don’t have one. They have a toaster oven which also serves as a microwave, but I’ve never used a toaster oven
As a former dancer who had a similar schedule as her eating protein is essential with that amount of physical activity. Getting those veggies in with a green powder as well as some hearty veggies should be a daily habit. But me personally, would need a little more than what she is doing. I usually needed a a good hearty sandwich by lunch time.
Please more Scout Forsythe content, She's brilliant ❤️
Scout said in the beginning of the video how she is trying get back in to shape so she maybe trying
to lose weight but I do got say that her caloric intake is pretty low for ballet dancer. But she may have some reasons like when she said that soup/salad helped her performance and having something light helped her not feel so "weighed down". Her preferences also could be reason for her very low calorie intake she even admitted she preferred fruits and vegetables. A ballet dancer burns between 2,000 to 3,000 calories on an average day so she needs to eat enough food to have sustainable energy for all the things she does. As reminder she might eat more on other days. Was looking at comment and they calculated her overall intake to be 1,400 which might not be enough for her as ballet dancer. She is a very dedicated to her profession and hope the best for her.
Scout’s relationship with food was sooooo inspiring!! Like she eats bread, burrito, donuts but she still eats healthy and is healthy!! I never really wanted to do a diet because I feel like I couldn’t handle starvation but she ate things that I eat regularly!! It made me feel more healthy and now I just wanna go a make salmon or something 😂
Have you seen her eating a burrito? I’ve just seen her eat half avocado and 1 egg, munch a few crisps, drink soup, eat less than 100 grams of salmon and veggies. That’s just enough to keep going.
@@TheFlowMind no i didn’t but she mentioned some of the things she orders out like a burrito bowl (I think?) and pad Thai. She also said that if she feels like eating a doughnut, she’ll do it too!😊
@@TheFlowMind Yes, it's just a lot of talking....
@@mishmajoseph2503 She probably never "feels for it", she is a terrible case of undereating. When she "indulges" she has 3 puffs of something that is almost air.
What a adorable young girl. Reminds me of my daughter. 😊
I’m fascinated by ballerinas:)
i love her and her energy!!
This is simply sad. When you hear someone who is on a calorie restricted diet saying - after having danced for hours - that "these puffy snacks make ME FEEL full"...yup.
Very sad and disordered indeed!
This is a normal diet shes stating healthy she eats tons of veg and complex carbs and she orders takeout. Absolutely normal.
@@spamgarbage6999 it would be fine if she ate more and added a few things (like protein in the soup), but she doesn't. this is way too low calorie to be healthy and it shows in her energy levels.
@@frankiethey her bodies calorie deficit is not something insane because her body has adapted to how much she exercises after years of doing it. Massaii trubesmen had their calorie expenditure measured and it was the same as obese americans who sit all day And Its why obese people hit a plateau when they strive to lose weight their body is adapting to the amount of exercise they do and their expenditure goes down. This is an absolutely healthy diet and not only that she talks about drinking alcohol and ordering takeout/ burritos when she fees like it. If one of yall on here were doing the amt of exercise she did all of a sudden this diet would be a problem for you.
@@frankiethey you people are overeating
Very lil calories overall. I couldn't do that without heavy protein throughout the day. Like pb with those apples. Or a turkey sandwich on grain bread for lunch. Those avocados are great the fats are healthy.
She is my idol and I look up to scout so much!
hydrating/journaling/avocado-ing 😂 such a different generation.bless.
“People have the impression that ballerinas subsist on a daily diet of an apple and yogurt-that’s completely untrue! We wouldn’t have the energy to dance. Dancers watch what they eat and just avoid fatty foods because they’re bad for the joints. Not too much alcohol either, because toxins get in the muscles. Especially not white wine; it’s acidic. Red wine is fine in small doses. Dancers eat a lot of pasta and slow-release carbohydrates, especially before shows. Not too many fast-release carbohydrates, because they give you energy for five minutes, and then it’s all over. We sometimes eat chocolate bars to get a boost before dancing or during intermission. Basically, we eat everything in moderate quantities. What makes dancers so thin is exercise.”
-Agnes Letestu
She's adorable!!!! Soup is my go to lunch meals 😆
how does she kick her leg back that much, that's insane
Girl, you need your own channel! I love your videos! I have seen several.❤❤❤❤
The meal where she has salmon with vegetables and a side salad though, isn't that just salmon with vegetables and vegetables! .......IDK?
Isn't that basically the ideal meal? Vegetables and protein. Plenty of carbs in the vegetables. She also had plenty of fat with the avocado, oil, almond dip and added seeds on her salad.
Sounds pretty healthy and balanced to me. If you want to add some grains you can put some quinoa or brown rice in there as well.
This is the healthiest balance of nutrition, passion and self-care I’ve seen in a while, love it and will steal some of these daily habits to improve my routine! Plus, how cute is she! Thanks, Scout!
Just keep the Scout Forsythe videos coming.
I eat like a ballerina and that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside
these are the amount of calories that an average fairly inactive person should be eating in a day...not a professional athlete who spent the entirety of the day doing probably intensive exercise.
I understand what you are getting at, could she eat more? Maybe, but dancing with a full belly is honestly one of the worst feelings ever so it’s a balance of constant refueling but not over fueling your body
Ikr lmfao I can’t imagine being this physically active but consuming such low counts of calories. I mean maybe once u get used to it? But she must be in calorie deficit or smth.
@@AM-nv5ww if she feels uncomfortable dancing with a full belly then she should reaaaaaally be consuming large amounts of calories for dinner. I don't think there's a good reason to be consuming so few calories with a lifestyle like this. and tbh i think this video is kinda irresponsible to even post. clearly all of these "she's so healthy/has such a good relationship with food" comments show the skewed perception of what is healthy/a healthy relationship with food.
@@jay-pg8no she might just have a slow metabolism? we don't know her body and also she said she's trying to get into shape to perform again
The "average fairly inactive person" in the US is overweight. What the average person consumes is not a measure of optimal health.
the audio is so much better!!!! thank you!
I can't believe what she eats for 9 hours of dancing...... with not a lot of carbs.
She literally had carbs at every meal. The bread at breakfast, the vegetable soup (especially if she adds a grain like farro as she said, and root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, potatoes) has tons of carbs. Her snacks were carbs. Then all the veggies at dinner. Most of her carbs are fibrous, as opposed to starchy - but they are carbs. Vegetables are carbohydrates.
@@k819849 It's a very low calorie diet for the amount of activity she's doing, but she said she'd getting back into shape for a performance so presumably she's actively trying to lose weight.
@@nereti1303 maybe but a 2000+ calorie deficit a day sounds crazy to me
@@k819849 completely agree!!
@@calisongbird agree with you but my point is it's not enough given she's burning around 3000+ calories a day
I love how shes so healthy and organic
She needs her own RUclips channel 🤷🏾♀️...
I love Scout's energy!! More of her please XX
Hi how are you looking beautiful
Omg I want Scout’s veggie soup recipe! 💗
sameeee
Sautée any kind of vegetables/legumes you have laying around ( previously washed diced and peeled ) , then keep adding hot water. Once they're cooked, it´s up to you, to drain and ad greens to the stock, or puré everything if you prefer it creamy.
You woke up with your feet pointed !!! LOL love it
Imagine looking that pretty when you wake up, can’t relate ✌️
What a lovely switched on funny young lady. I really enjoyed seeing your approach to eating.
this is NOT a healthy amount of food at all - especially for a ballerina.
I used to dance ballet, and in our company we got kicked out if we ate that little. and if we started to eat more we had a week back as a trial run, nutritionists followed us for the week and if we’d gotten to a healthier amount we were allowed back - I know it’s a lot but dancers need to eat a lot to have energy and be ok. there’s missing a lot of proteins for scout :(
hence I’m not there lol, I have an ED.
This video was such a pleasure to watch. I really appreciated the transparency. Thank you!
Hippeas are so bomb I was addicted all last summer
@Hrt D Google is your friend.
HOW is every ballet dancer the literal most beautiful person EVER
There’s people that are anti-microwave? I would probably eat hot food like twice a week if I didn’t have a microwave lol.
That’s depressing
SHE SO NEEDS HER OWN CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!
