Eclipse star Taylor Lautner was surprised to discover that maintaining the 30 pounds of muscle he gained for the Twilight saga is just as hard as gaining it in the first place.

"The most challenging part [of staying buff] is the eating process,” Taylor, 18, told Access Hollywood June 12 at a press junket promoting Eclipse.

STILL A GYM RAT

Adds Lautner: “The interesting thing is it’s just as hard to maintain [the weight gain] as it was to put in on in the first place. I didn’t know that.”

Taylor, who worked out around the clock and ate every 2-3 hours to prep for New Moon and Eclipse, is continuing with the workout and diet program that helped him achieve his rippling 8-pack abs in the first place. [see slideshow below]

IT'S HARD TO REGAIN WEIGHT IF I LOSE IT

“[I'm doing] the same thing I did to put it on in the first place: a lot of hours in the gym," says Lautner. But the jet-setting Taylor, who has been flying around the world to promote Eclipse, has to make sure he hits the gym and eats enough or he risks losing his hard-earned muscles.

“We’re busy promoting these films and I don’t have time to get into the gym, I don’t have time to eat, and I’ll drop five pounds like, ‘That!’” he said, snapping his fingers. “It’s pretty hard to put it back on.”

Eclipse, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, comes out June 30.
