So. Here's what Sophie Monk's 'day on a plate' looks like.

It seems like Sophie Monk is just like the rest of us when it comes to her diet – a couple of good days followed by a big old blowout.

The former Bachelorette told James Weir from News.com.au that on a good day she follows a pretty strict meal plan.

The 37-year-old starts her day with a breakfast of egg whites with tomato, mushroom, avocado and salmon.

Then she usually has fish for lunch, followed by a poke bowl (“or three”) for dinner.

Listen: Sophie Monk says she felt like a reject in Bardot because of her size. (Post continues after audio…)

“I eat a lot of fish — I’m surprised I haven’t got mercury poisoning,” she told the publication.

However, the former Bardot star admitted not all her days look like this – she usually enjoys a “blow out day” every third day.

“I can eat three pizzas easy. And ice cream. I love ice cream — vanilla and I sprinkle Milo on it. Sometimes I have it with cereal, too — Frosted Flakes. It adds a nice crunch,” she said.

Monk, who will be hosting Love Island next year, has recently spent a lot of time in Sydney’s Bondi, and there’s one thing she just doesn’t get about the beachside suburb – their obsession with kale (We hear you, Soph).

“I’d rather eat a tree,” she said. “I don’t get it when people say, ‘kale’s beautiful’. No! It tastes like dirt!”

Monk also said with her busy schedule she doesn’t get a lot of time to exercise.

“I used to run an hour a day and now I don’t have time. If I have to go to the gym I wouldn’t sleep. I’ll do occasional yoga or something. Or I do my own dance routines with my friends,” she explained.

After spending a decade in Hollywood, being told she was too fat, too thin, and too blonde, Monk developed a pretty thick skin.

Speaking to Mia Freedman on this week’s episode of No Filter, Monk said the industry was a bizarre and confronting place.

“There were times where I just slept in my car – but I worked really hard,” Monk said.

“I wanted to challenge myself and travel.

“I went to an agent – but because of what I’d done in the past they picked me up and said ‘let’s see what we can do’.

“I was rejected three times a day for ten years… I think after awhile it gets you down. But I just think – I’m only good at one thing, entertaining. I’ve never been good at anything else at school – and I love doing it – so I was on a mission to just kind of do what I like doing.”
