Back in 2019, Torres gave a little insight into her fitness journey for her Health cover interview, admitting that she works out for self-care and “strength,” but also just to eat all of her favorite foods.

The Suits alum said that she strives for “balance” with her workout routine and her eating habits.

“I work out so I can feel good,” she told the outlet. “Sometimes I hit it hard; sometimes it’s just about getting it in. But food? I love food. I like all the no-nos. I love buttery, cinnamony, caramelly, and sometimes lemony things. And I love fried chicken and bacon!”

Torres added that she loves going out to eat with her friends.

“A friend and I were just cackling over our sea bass and butter, bread, and rosé. We were like, ‘We work out so we can eat this!’ ” she said at the time.

The actress then noted that her other workout goal is to build muscle. “With working out, it’s about strength — being able to run up the stairs and just feeling like I can get myself out of a situation,” Torres said. “I always want to come from a place of power, and of knowing my body. The fringe benefit of that is that I look great in some clothes … and am fit for life.”
