Lindsey Burt's "day of eating" video with music and no narration about the food. She opens holding an iced latte, which she then makes: an espresso shot poured over milk, vanilla-style syrup and ice. Breakfast is two fried eggs with herbs, a herbed chicken sausage cut into pieces, and a split English muffin. She drinks a bottle of Agua de Kefir Guava Paloma water kefir, which is almost empty by the time she shows it. Lunch is a bowl of white rice with five herbed chicken-style meatballs. Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic Hummus and Pretzel Slims sit next to the bowl, so they are counted as eaten with lunch. In the afternoon she whisks an iced matcha latte with Minor Figures Barista Oat Light and eats a Banza cheddar shells mac and cheese cup. Dinner is pan-cooked, glazed seasoned chicken thighs with white rice and sautéed greens. The video ends with bags of cookie dough, freeze-dried raspberries, dill pickle cashews and avocado-oil chips, but she isn't seen eating any of them.
