Whitney Port was pictured showing off her frame in athletic wear on Friday, after recently admitting she was concerned about being underweight.
The former reality TV star, 38, wore a black crop top that put her midriff and slender arms on display, along with a pair of black workout leggings.
The Hills star — who was seen for first time since admitting she’s ‘not eating enough’ earlier this week — was pictured carrying a container with fruit and another one that appeared to be a salad as she arrived at a friend’s place in Los Angeles.
The 5ft10in tall star finalized her sporty look with a pair of light sneakers. Whitney appeared to go fresh-faced for the outing, and toted a silver purse slung over her shoulder.
The day prior Whitney took to her Instagram and told fans she is feasting on sweet treats, after admitting her weight loss has left her looking ‘unhealthy.’

In a new Instagram Stories post, she said in a video showing a strip of restaurants and stores including ice cream franchise Baskin’ Robbins: ‘I came back to LA just to go to another strip small for my favourite delicacies.’
‘I’m obviously working on understanding my relationship with food so I can be the healthiest version of myself, I want to build muscle and be strong for my bones and I fully commit to focusing on my personal healthy, but having more ice cream than usual doesn’t suck either.’
‘My @baskinrobbins order is a double scoop of gold medal ribbon & Jamoca Almond Fuge in waffle cone in a cup. Easier to eat.’
The star recently admitted she was concerned about being underweight and said she had ‘no idea’ she weighed ‘as little’ as she did until she stepped on a scale but has told fans not to worry because she is planning to ‘eat thoughtfully’ and ‘put the right things in (her) body’.
Port confessed in July her husband Tim Rosenman, 46, who she married in 2015, told her he was worried she is ‘too thin’ while highlighting how her fans were talking online about her skinny frame – which she admitted is partly down to her abnormal approach to eating.
Port – who has suffered multiple miscarriages and has been considering surrogacy – told fans about how stepping on a scale was an ‘eye-opener’ on Tuesday’s (01.08.23) episode of her With Whit podcast: ‘Once you see the numbers, the numbers can’t lie.’
She added: ‘In my head, I didn’t think it was as big of a deal as it actually was, and I still don’t really.’
‘But I do think I’m clearly not eating enough and that how I look right now does not look healthy. It’s not how I want to look.’

Working on it: However, she has told fans not to worry because she is planning to ‘eat thoughtfully’ and ‘put the right things in (her) body’
She went on: ‘I complain a lot about my lack of energy. Part of that stems from not giving myself what it actually needs.’
‘So the moral of the story is that there’s a lot of self-reflection going on and I am aware of it, and that’s the first step. I’ve been eating like s*** here, you know, just trying to get in calories like pizza, ice-cream, French fries, but when I get home I don’t want to do it in that way. I want to eat thoughtfully.’
The ex-reality star asked her fans not to ‘worry’ as she is planning to ‘eat thoughtfully’ and ‘put the right things in (her) body,’ as well as ‘work out in a way that will build muscle.’
She vowed: ‘I’m on it, guys… I don’t think it’s as big of an issue as it may seem.’
‘When I think about what I look like, I think about just being attractive and I think that I need to define what attractive means to me and then if those things are actually healthy,’ she admitted.
Whitney said in an Instagram Story post on July she wanted to address her weight, adding: ‘Timmy brought it to my attention, as a good husband should, and said it’s not just something strangers are spewing.’
‘He has been worried about me.’
‘I had to think about it and try to figure out what has been happening because it’s not something I’m consciously thinking about.’
Not a big deal? She added: ‘In my head, I didn’t think it was as big of a deal as it actually was, and I still don’t really’
Not eating enough: ‘But I do think I’m clearly not eating enough and that how I look right now does not look healthy. It’s not how I want to look,’ she said
Setting an example: Whitney added in her lengthy post that when she weighed herself it ‘hit’ her she has been setting an ‘unhealthy example’
A priority: She has now promised to make her health and eating properly a ‘priority’ in future
Previous diet: In 2010, Port said she would ‘monitor’ what she ate and, at one point in her life, stuck to only 1,000 calories a day
Whitney – who has six-year-old son Sonny with Tim – added in her lengthy post that when she weighed herself it ‘hit’ her she has been setting an ‘unhealthy example.’
She said: ‘I eat to live, not the other way around… I always feel hungry but I just don’t know what to eat. It’s not how I want to look or feel though.’
Whitney said she’s ‘too lazy to make feeding (herself) a priority,’ adding: ‘I’m too picky when it comes to taste and quality. Both are unacceptable.’
She has now promised to make her health and eating properly a ‘priority’ in future.
Fans expressed their concern after she posted a bikini-clad Instagram slideshow called ‘Going for it’ on July 20, where the Love, Whit designer’s thighs looked worryingly thin and her collarbone and sternum stuck out.
One Instagram user had accused Whitney of achieving her abs by ‘not eating,’ with others accusing her of a ‘starvation’ diet.
Other fans left comments about Port looking like a ‘skeleton’ with several others just hoping she was ‘okay.’
She did not reply to comments at the time.
In 2010, the former reality star told OK! Magazine she would ‘monitor’ what she ate and, at one point in her life, stuck to only 1,000 calories a day.
She said: ‘(That’s) as bad as it has ever gotten. It’s hard to have that balance of wanting to look good but stay healthy. It’s a push (and) pull.’
In 2018, Whitney stunned fans by admitting to never having tried pasta.

Family: Whitney shares son Sonny, six, with her husband of seven years Tim. The pair have been trying to expand their family and are ‘seriously’ considering hiring a surrogate, after the star suffered a number of miscarriages

Last month it was revealed that Whitney and her husband are ‘seriously’ considering hiring a surrogate to carry one of their frozen embryos after suffering a chemical pregnancy and three miscarriages in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
‘I’m still figuring things out and nothing is, like, 100 percent yet and so it’s one of those things where you’re scared to put it out into the universe until you know what’s happening. But for me, like, I suffered from secondary infertility, and it has just been such a process both physically and mentally to get to that second baby,’ she told Us Weekly.
Port stressed that she and her beau are ‘not in the journey yet’ but hopes it happens ‘soon’ as she wasn’t able to be a ‘present, happy, decent version’ of herself when she was physically pregnant.
The television personality came to prominence after being cast on The Hills reality series in 2006. She was cast as one of four main cast members in the MTV show along with friends Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Audrina Patridge.
The series aired for six seasons on from 2006 until 2010.
