The Queen’s chef spills the beans on her fabulous diet

The Queen is in fantastic shape for 90-years-old and a lot of that can be attributed to how well she eats. 

A recent interview with former Royal Chef, Darren McGrady, sheds some light on what the Queen dines on.  According to McGrady, unless The Queen is at a state dinner she has a “no starch” rule which means no pasta or potatoes. 

The Queen prefers a dinner of grilled fish or chicken with a side salad or two different steamed vegetables. She is also very keen on fresh fruit, and adores home grown peaches.

Not surprisingly with the number of people she meets and talks too each day, The Queen must not have garlic or too many onions. While all meat, including beef, but be cooked well done.

If The Queen has one indulgence is that she loves chocolate biscuit cake that is made by her chefs.  Though she keeps her portions very small but will request it daily until the cake is gone, she is even known to have a piece taken with her on travels. McGrady told The Sun, “The Chocolate Biscuit Cake is the only cake that goes back again and again and again every day until it’s all gone.

“She’ll take a small slice every day until eventually there is only one tiny piece, but you have to send that up, she wants to finish the whole of that cake.”
