The Oscar-nominated actress has admitted that she tries to consume as "few calories" as she can, by eating a few bites of her favourite meals before stopping completely.
In an interview with Us Weekly, the 39-year-old said: "I love food, so I just try to eat as few calories as I can.
"Sometimes I can't help it. I'll have that slice of cheesecake and work out extra hard the next day."
As for occasionally burning calories with LA-based trainer Chariesse Griffin, Henson added: "I only work out with her when I'm training for something specifically, or if I need to bulk up. Other than that, I know what to do to stay in shape."
Henson's next film, a remake of The Karate Kid, arrives in US cinemas on June 11 and in the UK on July 16.
