A 'what I eat in a 12+ hour uni day' vlog by Mehak, a college student who appears to be in Canada (Big Way is a Canadian malatang chain). They start the morning with an iced matcha latte in the car. Around noon they drink a brüst mocha protein cold brew and squeeze out every drop. Lunch is their homemade overnight oats while a friend eats Chipotle. In the afternoon they have a large free bubble tea, then a banana after a workout. At an evening event they take a free mini bánh mì. The day ends with a spicy Big Way malatang pot, which they call the highlight of the day.

Meal by meal

Breakfast: iced matcha latte

Mixed 200 kcal

Mehak kicks off the morning with an iced matcha latte, sipped in the car.

Milk adds a bit of protein, but it's mostly a caffeine kickstart.

“Breakfast with a view: matcha, a straw and a parking spot.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Iced matcha latte1 tall glass, about 16 oz (~450 ml), milk-based · 450 g Why this estimate Looks homemade, in a glass with a straw at 9:17am. Assumed to be about 300 ml of 2% milk over ice, matcha and a little sweetener.	0:01	200	9	24	7	0

Snack: mocha protein cold brew

Good 110 kcal

Around noon it's a mocha protein cold brew, squeezed until the carton gives up.

Lots of protein, barely any sugar, and caffeine round two.

“That carton was wrung out like a wet towel. Respect.”

brüst protein coffee, mocha cold brew1 carton (~330 ml / 11 fl oz) · 330 g Why this estimate The label shows 20 g protein and 1 g sugar. The other values are typical for this product. Drunk at 11:59am and the carton was squeezed empty.	0:03	110	20	4	2	1

Lunch: homemade overnight oats

Good 400 kcal

Lunch is a container of homemade overnight oats while a friend digs into Chipotle.

Whole grains and fibre packed the night before, very organized.

“Past Mehak meal prepped; present Mehak stares at a burrito bowl.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Overnight oats1 round container, about 1.5–2 cups · 350 g Why this estimate Recipe not shown. Assumed to be about 40 g rolled oats with milk, yogurt and chia, plus a little sweetener such as honey or maple. It looks creamy and white, with no visible toppings.	0:07	400	18	55	11	7

Snacks: bubble tea, banana, bánh mì

Mixed 775 kcal

The afternoon brings a big free bubble tea, a banana after the gym, and a mini bánh mì at an event.

The banana brings fruit; the bubble tea brings a wave of added sugar.

“The student motto: if there's an event, there's a snack.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Bubble tea (milk tea with toppings)1 large cup, about 650 ml · 650 g Why this estimate Free bubble tea at 1:56pm. A pale milk tea with toppings (probably tapioca pearls) at regular sugar. The creamer or milk and the syrup are included.	0:10	450	4	85	12	1
Banana1 medium banana · 118 g Why this estimate Eaten after a workout, at 5:39pm.	0:14	105	1	27	0	3

Dinner: spicy Big Way malatang

Mixed 800 kcal

Dinner is the highlight: a spicy malatang pot loaded with fish balls, tofu, quail eggs, squid and noodles.

Great protein lineup, but the chili oil broth piles on sodium and fat.

“Twelve hours of uni, and the reward is a cauldron of fire.”

Food	At	kcal	P	C	F	Fibre
Big Way spicy malatang (mala hot pot)1 single-serving pot, about 550 g of ingredients plus broth · 650 g Why this estimate The red mala broth has about 8 fish/meat balls, 5 tofu/fish-tofu cubes, quail eggs, imitation crab, squid, onion and cilantro. I assumed a layer of noodles underneath, as is typical. The chili-oil broth adds roughly 15 g fat. This is the front, spicy pot. The noodle pot is counted as the friend's.	0:20	800	45	65	38	6
