He’s got a pretty decent relationship with food now. When he’s on the grind, shooting for hours a day, he watches what he eats like a hawk. The actor explained,

“My relationship with food is a relatively healthy one now. When I’m working I’m very careful about what I eat, but only because I don’t want to change my energy level during the day.”

Further, the Zombieland star added,

“You shoot for 12 or 14 hours a day, you want to maintain that consistent level of energy. So I don’t eat sugar, and I have a very limited amount of caffeine that I proportion out throughout the day.”

Eisenberg’s breakfast rebellion got us thinking. Maybe it’s time we all reconsider the morning essentials we’ve been swearing by. It’s like challenging the unwritten rules of our daily rituals, right?
