Simply knowing where everything is and having all of your tools and ingredients in one place can make your job a lot easier.

He avoids munching on food at night
When Zakarian was asked about his most preferred late-night snack, he said that he doesn't quite like the idea of eating that late (via the Food Network). "Don't eat late night. Ever," he declared. This makes sense because the chef is devoted to fitness and makes it a point to stay healthy. As per Today, Zakarian is so serious about his fitness regime that he even discovered alternative ways to stay fit during quarantine.
Zakarian gave his fans a sneak peek into his fitness routine last year, demonstrating a tough exercise that he finished easily. "People asked me what I did to stay fit during Covid," He wrote on Twitter. "I found a swing set and just hung around... literally!" Pretty cool, huh?
As per Livestrong, Zakarian also avoids skipping meals and leads a disciplined life, incorporating healthy options such as nuts, lean chicken, fish, oats, vegetables, and more into his diet. He's also a fan of whole foods as opposed to processed foods, and is disciplined about staying hydrated every day. Such an inspiration!
