The 35-year-old actress - who is currently dating Prince Harry - has admitted she enjoys a healthy lifestyle and "definitely" tries to eat well as often as possible, although the 'Suits' star has revealed "all bets are off" on Saturday and Sunday when she decides to be a little more gluttonous and enjoy all types of food, so she doesn't feel she is always "deprived" of treats.

Speaking about her eating habits, the brunette beauty said: "I definitely try to eat as clean as possible. And I started working with Doctor Alejandro Junger on the Clean Cleanse. So I definitely try to avoid the things that will make me feel lethargic and sluggish, I eat mostly fish and veggies.

"But I am also a foody so on the weekends all bets are off. I think if you try to deprive yourself of anything you're just going to crave it more. So be good during the week and then treat yourself to whatever it is you want over the weekend."

And the star has revealed she "loves" nothing more than to cook and often finds herself rustling up something in the kitchen "every day", whether that means she is preparing a pesto sauce made from scratch to help her maintain a balanced diet during the week.

Speaking in a video with Shape.com, Meghan said: "No no I love to cook. So, every day I am cooking something, even if it's making a pesto I can put in the fridge for later in the week. Any little component you feel you can take some pride I think is really important."
