A silent "my normal 9-5 diet" workday video with times on screen. They start with a greens drink and 10 fiber capsules taken with water. Breakfast is plain nonfat Greek yogurt eaten straight from a large Friendly Farms tub, with chocolate whey, peanut butter and blueberries mixed in. Mid-morning they drink a mug of coffee. Lunch is a "turkey slop bowl" of ground turkey over white rice with diced peppers and shredded cheese. They have a meat stick as an afternoon snack and finish with a couple of mints in the car.

Breakfast: Greek yogurt protein tub
Good 653 kcalRyan kicks off with a greens drink and fiber capsules, then digs into a giant tub of Greek yogurt with chocolate whey, peanut butter and blueberries.
A protein powerhouse, with berries and peanut butter adding fruit and healthy fats.
“Why use a bowl when the tub is already right there?”

Mid-morning: mug of coffee
Good 5 kcalNext up, a big mug of coffee, simply labelled Joe.
Black coffee gives a caffeine kick with no added sugar.
“Nothing says office life like a mug named after a coworker.”

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Coffee ('Joe')1 large mug, about 12 oz, assumed black · 350 g

Lunch: turkey slop bowl
Good 676 kcalLunch is the turkey slop bowl: ground turkey over white rice with diced peppers and shredded cheese.
Lean turkey brings big protein, though white rice is light on fibre.
“Slop bowl: the name undersells it, the meal prep oversells nothing.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Turkey slop bowl (ground turkey over white rice with diced peppers and shredded cheese)About 2.5 cups in a glass bowl: ~150 g cooked lean ground turkey, ~1 cup white rice, ~60 g peppers, ~1 oz shredded cheese · 400 g

Snack: meat stick and mints
Mixed 92 kcalThe afternoon snack is a beef meat stick, followed by a couple of mints in the car.
Handy protein, but meat sticks pack plenty of sodium.
“A beef stick chased by mints: the courteous coworker combo.”

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Meat stick (beef)1 single-serve stick, about 1 oz · 28 g
