This is a UK calorie-counting 'what I eat in a day' short from kimsfooddiary, with no speech. The day starts with an iced vanilla matcha latte and a salted caramel cereal bar. Next comes a slice of brown toast topped with a fried egg, baked beans and grated cheese. A snack bowl of Greek yoghurt with strawberries and a few Maltesers follows, then a Starbucks caramel hazelnut protein drink. Dinner is a burger in a sesame bun with a small portion of thin chips and a side salad of lettuce, cucumber and beetroot. The opening collage previews these same dishes.

Meal by meal

Drink: iced vanilla matcha latte

Good 155 kcal

First up, an iced vanilla matcha latte made with semi-skimmed milk and a splash of vanilla syrup.

Milk brings real protein, and the syrup keeps the added sugar small.

“Matcha: for when you want coffee's buzz with extra main-character energy.”

Snack: salted caramel cereal bar

Mixed 105 kcal

Next, a little salted caramel cereal bar straight from its green wrapper.

Tasty, but mostly added sugar and refined carbs with barely any protein.

“A cereal bar: basically a cookie that went to business school.”

Lunch: beans on toast with egg

Good 415 kcal

Lunch is baked beans on brown toast, topped with a fried egg and grated cheddar.

A fibre and protein powerhouse, thanks to beans and whole grain toast.

“The egg only shows up in the caption. Witness protection, presumably.”

Snack: Greek yoghurt and Maltesers

Good 151 kcal

Snack time is Greek yoghurt with fresh strawberries and a few Maltesers sprinkled on top.

Protein-packed yoghurt and fruit, with just a cheeky pinch of chocolate.

“Counting Maltesers individually is the most disciplined act on the internet.”

Drink: Starbucks protein drink

Mixed 195 kcal

Then a bottled Starbucks caramel hazelnut protein drink.

Solid protein boost, but it brings a fair bit of added sugar along.

“A milkshake wearing a gym membership as a disguise.”

Dinner: beef burger and chips

Mixed 572 kcal

Dinner is a beef burger in a sesame bun with thin oven chips and a little side salad.

Great protein, but saturated fat and a refined bun outweigh that salad.

“Three beetroot cubes doing the heavy lifting for this whole plate's reputation.”
