This month, Kylie Kelce dropped her first episode of Not Gonna Lie, her Spotify podcast, and it soared to the top of the charts. While she happens to be married to former NFL star Jason Kelce, the reason why people adore the mother of three (soon to be 4!) is that she is totally laid back, real, and relatable. And her approach to diet, fitness, and self-care is definitely on-brand. Body Network has a lowdown of 10 down-to-earth ways in which Kylie Kelce stays in shape.
She Indulges in Fries, Tomato Pie, and Cheesesteaks
A Philly girl born and bred, Kylie indulges in the local cuisine – especially at Lincoln Financial Field. “My go-to in the stadium is probably [Chickie’s and Pete’s] Crabfries. Or the braided pretzels, they're so good,” she told Eating Well. “At home, I would say probably a tomato pie, and if you want to get more specific, a Carlino's tomato pie—big fan. But then the best way to balance out all of the salty snacks is having a couple Lindor truffles. I think the best thing about this sort of idea of adding them to your game-day spread is that all of the snacks you talk about for game day are usually salty or savory, so to add in a little pop of chocolaty bliss is perfection,” she dished. As for her cheesesteak order? “I always go extra American cheese, fried onions. I love when it's chock-full of cheese. I will say I'm a Dalessandro’s girl, but I recognize that if you're going to someone’s favorite spot, you're going to get an outstanding cheesesteak. It's funny to me how each neighborhood gravitates towards a specific spot,” she said.
She Walks in the Morning
Kelce does a little “mom shutdown” in the morning, having her babysitter come early. “Then I actually go and walk for quite some distance just to clear my head. Sometimes, I'll answer emails while I'm walking. It's a really good way to sort of take a step back. It gives you perspective and you can get some energy out, you can clear your head, get some fresh air and do it without children because I think that sometimes that plays into your health and well-being to take that time for yourself. I also think that it's a good example for our girls that I'm going out to exercise and making sure that activity is part of our day. Once it gets warmer, we'll go on long walks together where we'll go find a leaf of this color or a big stick and a medium stick, we do that sort of stuff. But right now the idea of packing all of the toddlers up and wrapping them in a million layers, it's just, it is not it,” she told Eating Well.
Everything in Moderation
When asked about her definition of healthy eating she responded that eating well is balanced. “I like to live by the idea of everything in moderation. I don't love the idea of cutting anything out wholeheartedly unless your dietary restrictions require that. I just think that if you want a doughnut, you should have a doughnut,” she said.

She Eats Veggies Every Meal
Kylie does have on eating hack. “I make it a point to have vegetables in almost every meal, but that's because I enjoy them and mostly have found ways to enjoy them. If I want to have something that might be deemed as unhealthy, I have it within moderation so that I can still enjoy it,” she said.
She Prioritizes Hydration
Hydration is also important. Kylie told Eating Well that she is trying “her very best to drink more water.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
She Fuels Up with Protein in the Morning
Kylie starts the day off by fueling up with protein. “I’m a huge Good Culture cottage cheese person. It’s funny because there’s this whole trend of people obsessed with cottage cheese now. Sometimes, I’ll throw some mandarin oranges in there, but I don’t need to make it complicated. I’m not trying to make ice cream out of this, I just want to eat cottage cheese and try to get some protein in my breakfast,” she told Well + Good.

She Drinks Coffee
Kylie is a coffee drinker. “I love Dunkin'. Specifically, they brought back their butter pecan flavor, and it has this chokehold on me that I can’t get out of—it is unreal. I go iced, and I’m one of those people who will have iced coffee until there’s snow on the ground,” she revealed.
She Loves Her Peloton Tread+
You can also find Kylie on the treadmill. “I am also a big Peloton fan. We recently got the Peloton Tread+. I've always found that treadmills are very hard on my joints and hurt my knees. The Peloton Tread+ has such a nice give to it. It's also quiet, so I can do it while the kids are sleeping or doing something upstairs,” she told Elite Daily.
She Enjoys Fitness Classes
Kylie might be in one of your Peloton classes. “I also like the structure of classes. Being an athlete my whole life, I would show up to practice and coaches would tell me what to do. Once I left, my ADHD kicked in, so the Peloton classes are super helpful. I have the app on my phone if I want to do Pilates or yoga,” she told Elite Daily.

She Lifts Weights
While Kylie has “lifted a couple of times” with Jason, she usually hits the gym without him. “If we're both home, one of us will go work out in the gym, and the other person will be with kids. We have to tag the team. We often ship passing in the night when it comes to working out.
Also, I don't know that I would want to lift with him frequently. That's usually his choice of workout. He's such a stickler about technique. I don't know that I want to be critiqued by someone who professionally lifted for many, many years,” she said.
