IU Shares Her Secret to Maintaining Her Figure and Late-Night Snack Recipe
On the 15th, the 'Chef An Sung-jae' channel released a video titled "IU's Late-Night Snack Recipe: A Guilt-Free Treat for Late Nights."
In the video, IU appeared as a guest, cooking and chatting with An Sung-jae.
IU explained why she manages her meals amidst her busy schedule. "When I get home after work, it's often late at night," she said. "I love high-calorie foods, but I can't keep eating them if I have a schedule ahead."
Previously, IU had shared on her YouTube channel that she maintains a weight of 44kg.
She mentioned her personal late-night snack alternative. "I found this recipe on YouTube," she said. "I like soft textures, and this is low in calories and tasty, so I've made it a few times and it's quite good."
She continued, "I like soft textures, and with soft tofu, it's low in calories, tasty, and feels like it doesn't make you gain much weight, so I make it often."
During the cooking session, questions about her usual eating habits arose. IU confessed, "When I first lived alone, cooking was fun, but I realized I wasn't very good at it," adding, "So at some point, I started eating simply at home."
She also candidly shared her favorite food. "At home, I mostly eat ramen. I love ramen the most," she said, but added, "I can't eat it all the time, so I only have it when I really can't resist."
Meanwhile, IU is currently starring in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess,' which premiered on the 10th, playing the role of 'Sung Hee-joo,' a character from a wealthy family but limited by her social status.
