What Katie Lee Biegel Eats in a Day
Katie Lee Biegel grew up eating veggies from her grandpa’s garden and meat from her family’s farm, so she’s passionate about eating locally, seasonally and organically whenever possible. She says, “I want to know how the food got to my plate and how it was raised. I want to know that [the produce] was grown organically, and I prefer to find grass-fed beef or organic chicken.”
She’s also a huge fan of fruits and veggies. She says, “I always look at my plate and try to make it 70 to 80% vegetables. I want a colorful diet. If you load up on the good stuff, you can crowd out the bad stuff.” Fittingly, her focus on eating mostly plants is also a huge part of the WW program, since almost all fruits and vegetables arelow- or zero-point foods(depending on which color plan you choose).
Lee Biegel says, “I love the [WW] program, and it is really easy for someone like me to be able to follow it. If I’m recipe testing and I’m making something that’s more indulgent, I can eat it and still be on my plan. I just adapt the rest of my day to stay within my points. And I’m enjoying trying to make lower-point recipes.” She says she lovespasta with cauliflower Alfredo sauceandher Mediterranean shrimp and veggie tray bakefor easy, healthy meals.

As for her favorite indulgences, she says, “I love french fries with ketchup, chips and guacamole, and pizza Margherita.” She adds that she’s been trying to get takeout to support local restaurants during the pandemic, but it’s “never as good” as getting hot, fresh french fries in a restaurant.
Katie Lee Biegel and her husband Ryan Biegel welcomed their daughter, Iris, in September 2020. She says, “I love being a mom more than anything. I don’t even know what my life was before this. It’s like before and after. I’m so obsessed with my daughter and I love being with her. It’s been a blessing.”
Lee Biegel says her daily routine has changed a bit since having her daughter. She admits, “I don’t take care of myself nearly as well as I used to. I don’t exercise every day. Sometimes I’m grabbing something easy, or I forget to eat lunch and I eat [too many] snack foods in the afternoon. I’m still trying to master balance.”

She says, “I’m really excited about this book, because I didn’t think I’d ever do a cookbook again. But I started thinking about it and getting inspired and it’s more in line with the way I cook now.“Though her new cookbook is calledIt’s Not Complicated, she says, “It was incredibly complicated to do during COVID.” Lee Biegel explains that they had to shut down the entire shoot halfway through due to the pandemic. “It had to just be my photographer and stylist, and I was doing the whole thing virtually. It got put together and I’m really proud of it. I think it’s my best cookbook so far. It’s so simple, but [the recipes] look incredible.“She says her favorite recipe from her new cookbook is theRoasted Chicken with Croutons. She says, “It can’t get much easier. Make that with a salad and you’re done.” For a meatless meal, she also loves the mushroom Bolognese because it has “the consistency of ground meat.” (We have asimilar recipe hereif you can’t wait until March 23 to try her version out for yourself!)Lee Biegel says that this cookbook is perfect for people who don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but still want a delicious meal.
