A Tamil-language 'what I eat in a day' short with on-screen meal labels. Breakfast is one large, thin, lacy dosa with a brown legume stir-fry (likely horse gram or black chickpea sundal) with curry leaves. For lunch, a bitter gourd stir-fry and more of the same legume stir-fry are cooked in a kadai. Both are served on plump parboiled rice with a dollop of dark pickle (likely date or tamarind). Under 'Refreshments' there's a green Melba 'Fruit Salad' stick ice lolly. 'Snacks' is a plate of battered deep-fried pieces, possibly mushroom or chicken. Dinner is white sandwich bread with tomato ketchup.

Breakfast: dosa with legume stir-fry

Good 435 kcal

Breakfast is a big, lacy dosa topped with a hearty pile of spiced brown legumes and curry leaves.

Legumes bring real protein and fibre to a crispy dosa.

“A dosa so big it needs its own postcode.”

Brown legume stir-fry (horse gram / black chickpea sundal) with curry leavesabout 3/4–1 cup on the dosa · 150 g Why this estimate Boiled whole legumes tempered with onion, chilli and curry leaves; includes about 1 tsp oil. Same dish as the lunch portion.	0:00	250	12	32	7	10

Lunch: rice, legumes and bitter gourd

Good 840 kcal

Lunch is a plate of rice with crispy bitter gourd, more of those spiced legumes, and a dark sweet pickle.

Fibre-packed legumes and veg win, even with an oily pan.

“Breakfast legumes, the sequel. Same cast, bigger plate.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Bitter gourd stir-fry with onion and green chilliabout 3/4 cup, crisp-fried · 90 g Why this estimate Bitter gourd, onion, green chilli and turmeric fried until browned. The pan looked oily, so this includes about 1 tbsp oil.	0:01	145	2	8	12	3
Brown legume stir-fry (horse gram / black chickpea sundal) with curry leaves and green chilliabout 1 cup, a third of the plate · 160 g Why this estimate Shown being stir-fried in the kadai before plating; includes about 1.5 tsp oil.	0:02	270	13	34	8	11
Boiled parboiled riceabout 1.5 cups cooked · 280 g Why this estimate Plump red/white parboiled-style rice. The plate shot at 5.0 s is taken as the same lunch plate.	0:03	350	7	77	1	2
Dark pickle (likely date or tamarind pickle)about 2 tbsp dollop · 30 g · low confidence Why this estimate Sweet-sour dark pickle with some oil; the exact type is a guess.	0:03	75	0	14	2	2

Snack: fried bites and an ice lolly

Bad 590 kcal

Snack time brings a whole plate of battered deep-fried pieces, washed down with a fruit salad ice lolly.

Deep-frying and added sugar turn snack time into a feast.

“Mystery fried pieces: chicken or mushroom? Even the batter won't say.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Melba 'Fruit Salad' stick ice lolly1 single-serve stick · 70 g Why this estimate Labelled 'Refreshments'. The bitten green lolly and the Melba Fruit Salad wrapper are treated as the same item.	0:14	90	1	17	2	0
Battered deep-fried pieces (possibly mushroom or chicken strips)plate of about 20–25 finger-sized pieces · 200 g · low confidence Why this estimate Crumb-battered and deep-fried, so absorbed frying oil is included. The filling is unclear: chicken would mean more protein, mushroom less.	0:17	500	18	40	30	3

Dinner: white bread with ketchup

Bad 255 kcal

Dinner is a stack of plain white sandwich bread dunked in tomato ketchup.

Refined carbs dipped in sugary ketchup, with barely any protein.
