Jelly Roll proves that comfort food and weight loss can go hand in hand. In a recent Instagram post, the chart-topping artist gave fans an intimate look at what he eats during the day on tour, and the list of meals includes everything from a Waffle House-style breakfast bowl to a dairy-free protein poutine.
Having lost more than 100 pounds, he revealed back in December, the singer has found a rhythm that works for him while on tour: two hearty meals and one snack a day, all with plenty of flavor, protein and sensible ingredient substitutions. And with the help of chef Ian Larios, his tour meals are as desirable as ever.
“I love Waffle House,” Jelly Roll said, and that’s exactly what inspired a healthier, homemade version of one of his favorite dishes. His interpretation of the classic bowl starts with homemade hashbrowns cooked in Wagyu beef fat, which are then air-fried for crunch. On top, he puts a pan-fried mixture of chicken sausage, bell peppers and bone broth to boost protein. To finish, he adds sauerkraut to improve digestion.
This updated Waffle House bowl proves that eating healthy doesn’t have to mean giving up your favorite foods – it’s all about finding smarter ways to enjoy them.
Between meals, Jelly Roll keeps things simple by offering a snack that looks like peanut butter cookie dough topped with banana slices. While he didn’t share the exact recipe, it’s probably packed with protein or fiber to help the singer stay satiated and nourished between meals.
Poutine may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of healthy food, but Jelly Roll’s version flips the script in the best way possible. For dinner, he starts with a base of home fries, then layers a mixture of shredded chicken thighs cooked in bone broth and sliced chicken sausage for maximum flavor and protein.
He tops it all off with a gravy of caramelized peppers and bone broth, then thickened with rice flour to make the dish rich and hearty, but not too heavy. Instead of traditional cheese curds, he tops the dish with dairy-free cashew cheese, offering the same creamy flavor in plant-based form. It’s comfort food reimagined to fit his wellness goals.
Jelly Roll has found a way to enjoy the foods he loves while staying focused on his goals. What he eats throughout the day shows that healthy eating doesn’t have to be bland or restrictive. It’s about finding a balance that fits your lifestyle.
