This heartening display unfolded against the backdrop of recent rumors, swiftly quashed by Heidi herself, regarding her daily caloric intake. 

Denouncing the unfounded claims of consuming a mere 900 calories a day, Heidi made it abundantly clear that she has never engaged in such meticulous calorie counting.

The origin of this controversy can be traced to an Instagram Q&A session where Heidi reportedly divulged her weight of 138 pounds in a since-expired story. 

Although screenshots captured this moment, no record exists of her discussing her caloric intake during that conversation.

Post the live airing of America's Got Talent, Heidi promptly took to her Instagram stories to address the misguided reports. 

In a video statement, she expressed her frustration at the rampant spread of sensationalized stories and emphasized her stance on calorie counting: "I don’t think I’ve ever had to count my calories in my life."

The resilient 50-year-old, known for her candidness, clarified the sequence of events, explaining: "Someone asked me how much I weighed... And I don’t know, people just put things together and just write a bunch of [expletive]."

According to the Dietary Guidelines for America, a woman of her age with an active lifestyle requires around 2,200 calories per day.

Heidi's actual dietary habits, as revealed by Women's Health in August 2017, painted a more balanced picture. 

Her typical day consisted of a breakfast comprising three organic scrambled egg whites accompanied by spinach, green peppers, spring onions, and fresh fruit, alongside tea sans milk. 

For lunch, Heidi occasionally indulges in turkey or chicken with basmati rice, stir-fry vegetables, and an olive oil-dressed salad. 

Her dinners often featured salmon or chicken paired with a hearty serving of salad and vegetables, with dark chocolate, sorbet, or Greek yogurt serving as her preferred dessert choices.

These components collectively amounted to an intake of roughly 1,000 calories per day, allowing for occasional indulgences like her beloved truffle-infused delicacies. Heidi herself acknowledged the balance, stating: "[I was] out to dinner this weekend, and truffles are in season. I had to have the truffle pizza and the truffle pasta. It’s not like I don’t [indulge], but not all the time."
