Ashley Tisdale: 'I eat a lot of food'

Ashley Tisdale has revealed that she shocked her male co-stars with her large appetite.

The Hellcats actress, who had to do regular kickboxing and weight-training to prepare for her role as a head cheerleader in the movie, said that she has never felt healthier.

Tisdale told Us Magazine: "I eat a lot of food! The guys are like, 'You eat more than we do!' It's kind of crazy. I eat food for the energy, and obviously I have to eat a lot because I'm burning so much."

She also revealed that her vice is "coffee", adding: "It's the one thing I just can't give up.

"[Kickboxing is] great for cardio. It's great for your abs and your whole body. Weight training is great for toning up and leaning up without bulking up. But the kickboxing is really amazing because it just works everything at once.

"It's not really about weight loss. But I can see the difference. I'm really toned and leaner. It feels good!"
