Sofía Vergara, Terry Crews Defend Heidi Klum Against Controversial Calorie Claims

Model Heidi Klum is getting some defense against claims that she only eats 900 calories a day.

Two of her "America's Got Talent" judges, Sofia Vergara and Terry Crews, defended the first-ever German-born Victoria's Secret Angel against accusations that she only ate 900 calories a day after she revealed how much she weighed.

In an August 20 Instagram Story, Heidi Klum revealed how much she weighed.  “It must have gotten completely dusty,” she said in the clip, adding, “It’s definitely not possible anymore.” However, it turns out that the scale worked and revealed that she is 138 pounds or 62.5 kilograms. The Daily Mail also reported that Heidi only ate 900 calories a day, starting her morning off with three poached eggs in warm chicken broth.

Although the 5’9” model has a BMI in the normal range, nutritionists do not recommend following diet plans that contain 900 calories or less. However, the day after her controversial calorie count made headlines, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model took to Instagram to set the matter straight.

“I just got home, and some friends are sending me these articles that have been written that I only take in 900 calories,” she said in an August 22 Instagram Story transcribed by Page Six. “One, I want to say, I don’t think I’ve ever had to count my calories in my life and don’t believe everything that you read.”

“So, I don’t count my calories,” she continued. “Someone asked me how much I weigh, and I got on the scale and showed how much I weighed.” The “Project Runway” alum slammed people who “make up stories” that are then misconstrued and can negatively influence others.

“I don’t know. People just put things together and just write a bunch of crap, and it’s really sad because there really is no real journalism anymore,” she added. “One person writes it, and then everyone jumps on it, and it’s really sad because, you know, people read that and they think that and possibly follow that, and that’s not good.”

On Wednesday night, during a joint interview with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, Sofía Vergara said that she could personally confirm that Heidi ate more than 900 calories a day. “That’s not true because you come into my dressing room and eat my stuff, [like] my sandwiches and stuff,” she said. Terry Crews chimed in to say “I believe” that Heidi would eat the “Modern Family” actress’ food.

"I just hate when people lie like that, because, especially, you know, there's so many people out there that follow or read this and they say, 'Oh, she does this, so now I'm only gonna eat 900 calories,'" Heidi said. "I mean, that's beyond bonkers." She explained that she felt compelled to address the matter on her Instagram Stories because it could negatively affect individuals’ health.

"When it's about other people's health, I feel like I have to step in and say, 'Wait a minute,'" Heidi continued. "I don't even care about me, I care about everyone who reads that and possibly gets way too thin. Because 900 calories, that's like, insane! I would be like a toothpick."

"I don't care if they say other dumb things, but this is about health, you know?" she added. "And other people could get unhealthy if they're trying to follow it."

In 2018, Heidi previously told ET how she keeps in shape. "I think when you eat a little on the earlier side, it has time to digest and I think it is a little better for your body,” she explained, adding that she usually consumes about three big meals a day.

"I start with smoothies and, you know, I do three big meals. But really, my last one is at 6 p.m.," she said at the time. "I eat with my kids. I think that also helps a little bit. I don’t eat at, like, 8 or 9 at night, because when you do that, and then you have a few glasses of wine, then it sits there in your stomach and you go to sleep."

Heidi has been on vacation in Capri, Italy, over the past month, indulging in plates of pasta and licking ice cream cones, so fans know that she definitely consumes more than 900 calories!
