Meal by meal

Breakfast: apple cinnamon oatmeal

Good 230 kcal

Breakfast is a cosy bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal, simmered right on the stove.

Whole grains plus real fruit make a fibre-packed, solid start.

“Stovetop oats: for people who find microwaves a little too impulsive.”

Lunch: vegan grilled cheese and soup

Mixed 505 kcal

Lunch is a vegan grilled cheese dunked in tomato soup, with a can of grape Poppi on the side.

Peak comfort, but refined bread and very little protein.

“Cheese spelled with a z, so you know it means business.”

Snack: peanut butter caramel popcorn

Bad 270 kcal

The afternoon snack is Trader Joe's peanut butter caramel popcorn, eaten straight from the bag.

Tasty crunch, but mostly added sugar in a peanut butter costume.

“Straight from the bag: the universal sign a snack is going well.”

Dinner: sweet potato tempura bowl

Mixed 630 kcal

Dinner is a sushi bowl of white rice and sweet potato tempura, with a sheet of nori.

Deep-fried tempura over white rice: heavy on refined carbs, light on protein.

“A heart-shaped bowl, because this rice deserves to feel loved.”

Evening snack: salted popcorn

Good 220 kcal

The evening wraps up with a bowl of salted stovetop popcorn on the couch.

Whole grain popcorn brings real fibre; just go easy on the salt.

“Popcorn, the sequel: rarely planned, always watched.”
