Rob Lowe stays fit at 59 with regular visits to these California fast-food faves — here’s what he always orders

Lowe-carb, high fun.

Rob Lowe has to be one of the fittest guys about to turn 60 (next month) in Hollywood, fit enough that it’s almost frustrating, and maybe you’d like to sock him one, except your fists would probably just boomerang back and you’d wind up hitting yourself in the face. (Sorry, is this thing on?)

In a new interview with EatingWell, the ‘Parks & Recreation’ actor, 59 — who’s also been a spokesperson for Atkins for many years — revealed just a smidgen of stars, they’re just like the rest of us humanity, admitting rather openly that his weekday lunch regimen includes trips to not one, but two of the West Coast’s favorite fast food joints, while (of course!) skipping most of the carbs that trip up the average diner.

“I’m a creature of habit. I have meals that I cycle through that I love. I just had a Tostada salad with grilled chicken today, I have that once a week for sure. El Pollo Loco’s yummy seasoned chicken with coleslaw, maybe a little side of beans, that’s another one,” the former 80s heartthrob said.

But apparently, there’s more than just that loco pollo, which beats even the best supermarket rotisserie chicken by a mile.

“I’ll have chicken kebabs with a little hummus and Greek salad. And I’ll do a lightly breaded chicken parm with a miso salad. These are all super yummy lunches, by the way. And I have been known to do a protein-style In-N-Out hamburger, and I drink sparkling water or water with lemon. It’s pretty simple.”

Lowe isn’t the only celeb that lines up with the rest of SoCal for the burgers at In-N-Out.

Everyone from Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has fallen under the chain’s spell; at least one location in the heart of Los Angeles is notably patronized by scads of A-listers after big award nights.

Lowe went on to reveal his broader approach to staying healthy as age begins to set in.

“I think it’s two things: body and spirit. For the body, it’s about a consistent regimen that’s sustainable. It’s not a particular diet, it’s a way of life,” he said.

“I also work out a lot, and it’s more for my mood than anything else. It really helps my head and my thought processes, and it’s usually outside. I think being outside is super, super important even if you live somewhere where the weather isn’t great.

“And sleep is huge—I’m very lucky that I sleep well and I sleep a lot.

“And then the spirit of it, which I actually think is almost even more important than the body element, is maintaining a natural curiosity about life.

“Still being curious, still being interested and engaged and open to new things and actively seeking out new things and memories so you have great stories for your life.

“Those two things put together I think are a really great recipe for anyone—it certainly has been for me,” he said.
