Danica Patrick had a stern message for body shamers who told her to “eat” more.

“Since many have told me to eat after the last post, I shall show you more meals,” the former NASCAR driver wrote on her instagram Stories Tuesday, alongside photos of her food that day.

She said, “Lunch here, and breakfast was 3 eggs plus 2 whites and a large homemade slice of @brooke_selman sourdough with butter and blueberry jam. .”

Patrick, 44, also included a selfie of her holding an Eat Prima protein bar on the golf course.

In a second post, Patrick used her muscles to paddle board in the ocean while wearing a two-piece red bikini.

“If you don’t lift weights (like for real) and eat your damn protein (not 2 eggs), you don’t have to get muscles,” she told her followers.

“And the more muscle you have, the more you get to eat!!!!!! The end.”

Patrick’s vacation dump also included snapshots of her with her new mystery boyfriend.

“We saw so many beautiful beaches… but the modes of transportation it took to get there was half the fun,” Patrick captioned the post.
