Meal by meal

Drink: big bottle of iced water

Good 0 kcal

First up, a big reusable bottle of plain iced water.

Pure hydration, zero sugar, nothing to critique here.

“Starting strong with the one thing nutritionists can't argue with.”

Snack: honey roasted peanuts

Good 160 kcal

Next, a little pouch of honey roasted peanuts from Aldi.

Healthy fats and protein, with just a kiss of honey.

“Airline snack energy, minus the turbulence and the tiny pretzels.”

Breakfast: sausage, egg & cheese wrap

Mixed 704 kcal

For breakfast, a turkey sausage, egg and cheese wrap with a side of red grapes.

Solid protein, but the cheese brings plenty of saturated fat.

“The grapes are there so the plate can call itself balanced.”

Drink: green cold-pressed juice

Mixed 130 kcal

Then a bottle of cold-pressed green juice called Gimme the Greens.

Sounds like salad, drinks like fruit sugar with the fibre squeezed out.

“Green on the label, sweet in the bottle. Classic juice bar plot twist.”

Snack: strawberries & creme trail mix

Bad 200 kcal

Snack time brings a handful of strawberries and creme trail mix, with yogurt pretzels, shortbread and chocolate candies.

Mostly candy and cookies, so the added sugar runs the show.

“Trail mix for hiking straight to the dessert table.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Southern Grove Strawberries & Creme trail mix1 handful (~1/3 cup) · 40 g Why this estimate Comes from an 8 oz bag. The video doesn't show how much she ate, so this assumes one handful.

Lunch: honey jerk salmon & rice

Good 781 kcal

Lunch is honey jerk salmon topped with mango salsa, plus cilantro lime rice and roasted asparagus.

Salmon brings big protein and healthy fats, with veggies riding shotgun.

Snack: cottage cheese & strawberries

Good 138 kcal

Afternoon snack is a scoop of lowfat cottage cheese with fresh strawberries.

Protein meets real fruit, a genuinely clever little snack.

“Cottage cheese, the snack that went viral and actually deserved it.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre

Dinner: honey jerk salmon, round two

Dinner is the same as lunch: honey jerk salmon with mango salsa, cilantro lime rice and asparagus.

Double the salmon means double the protein and healthy fats.
