Eating for two: Former Spice Girl Mel B is expecting her third child

Former pop icon and reality TV star Melanie Brown, 35, lives in LA with husband Stephen Belafonte, 35, and children Phoenix, 12, and Angel, three. She is expecting her third child. Here, she reveals a working day's diet.

BREAKFAST

For breakfast I have an egg-white omelette with turkey, avocado, peppers and onion, with a slice of wholewheat toast and low-fat spread.

I do like my big cup of coffee in the morning. We might nip down the street to the local cafe and get a latte or a mocha latte or a vanilla soya latte.

Some fruit, nuts or rye crackers. I've recently got into water, too, and have been drinking lots.

LUNCH

Lunch tends to be fairly light - a chicken or fish salad. I have to eat regularly - every two to three hours, as I hate it when your body starts telling you it has no sugar. Horrible.

I may drink peppermint or another herbal tea, I don't tend to drink much caffeine - it's so hot in LA, you can easily get dehydrated.

SNACK

I might have a smoothie or a piece of fruit - what I eat depends on when I've d o n e my workout. I love little oranges, red grapes and cherries.

DINNER

My husband does all the cooking. He usually cooks the kids a hearty meal - like spaghetti bolognese, and then he'll cook me either fish or chicken, often with quinoa. I am so lucky he is such a great cook.

He marinates the fish or chicken with different herbs and special spice ingredients he won't tell me about.
