A realistic "what I eat in a day" video, likely from Australia (Dough Bros pizza, Coco Pops, "mum"). Breakfast was a dessert-style plate: a thick slice of banana bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dry Coco Pops scattered around it and a strawberry on top. For lunch she split a sourdough Hawaiian pizza with her mum and had 3 of the 6 slices; it came with Caesar dipping sauce. In the afternoon she had some of her mum's frozen yogurt, topped with Dubai-chocolate sauce, pistachio kataifi, granola and blueberries. Dinner was an early ham-and-egg macaroni soup with greens at a Hong Kong-style cafe. Before bed she had a matcha chocolate wafer bar.
