A UK-style 'Day 3, everything I ate on a bulk' video. Each food has a time label on screen. At 05:30 the creator has rice cakes with honey. At 08:30 they have chocolate overnight oats. Lunch at 12:15 is scrambled egg on sourdough, followed by a protein bar at 12:30. They eat a whole kiwi in the car at 14:00 and a bagel with jam at 16:30. Dinner at 18:00 is spaghetti bolognese. At 19:00 they have Rice Krispies with a chocolate whey shake poured on as the milk. The day ends in the bath at 20:00 with Biscoff biscuits and Skittles. The bath clips at the start and end of the video are the same Biscoff and Skittles snack.

Meal by meal
Pre-gym snack: rice cakes with honey
Mixed 134 kcalBefore sunrise, we kick off with crunchy rice cakes drizzled with honey before the gym.
Quick carbs for the gym, but mostly honey's added sugar.
“Up before the sun, eating what is basically sweetened packaging foam.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rice cakes with honey2 plain rice cakes with about 1 tbsp honey spread on them · 39 g
Why this estimateLabelled 05:30, likely before the gym. One cake is in hand and more pieces lie on the paper, so I assumed 2 cakes (about 9 g each) and 1 tbsp (21 g) honey. |
0:05 | 134 | 2 | 32 | 0 | 0 |
Breakfast: chocolate overnight oats
Good 575 kcalBreakfast is a big tub of chocolate overnight oats made with milk and chocolate whey protein.
Oats, protein and fibre wearing a chocolate disguise. Sneaky and smart.
“Dessert for breakfast, but make it legally nutritious.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Chocolate overnight oatsOne large tub, about 400 ml, half filled · 400 g
Why this estimateLabelled 08:30. Assumed bulking recipe: 80 g oats, 250 ml semi-skimmed milk, 30 g chocolate whey, plus about 15 g cocoa or sweetener/honey. |
0:06 | 575 | 43 | 70 | 12 | 9 |
Lunch: scrambled eggs on sourdough
Good 674 kcalLunch is buttery scrambled eggs on a thick slice of sourdough toast, then a protein bar for dessert.
Proper protein from real eggs, with a bar as backup.
“Eggs on toast, then a protein bar, just in case the eggs weren't enough.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scrambled egg on sourdough3 eggs scrambled, on 1 large slice of sourdough toast · 250 g
Why this estimateLabelled 12:15. Includes about 10 g butter for scrambling and a splash of milk (about 30 ml). The sourdough slice is about 60 g. The plate is shown empty afterwards. |
0:09 | 454 | 26 | 32 | 24 | 2 |
Protein bar1 bar in an orange and white wrapper · 60 g
Why this estimateLabelled 12:30. The brand can't be read, so I used values for a typical 60 g protein bar. |
0:09 | 220 | 20 | 20 | 8 | 3 |
Snacks: kiwi, then bagel with jam
Mixed 373 kcalAfternoon snacks are a golden kiwi eaten skin and all, then a toasted bagel spread with jam.
The kiwi brings fruit and fibre; the bagel brings refined carbs.
“Eating kiwi skin is a power move. The jam bagel undid the street cred.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kiwi (golden)1 whole kiwi, eaten with the skin on · 80 g
Why this estimateLabelled 'Kiwi 14:00'. Eating the skin adds a little fibre. |
0:14 | 50 | 1 | 11 | 0 | 3 |
Bagel with jam1 toasted bagel (2 halves) with about 2 tbsp strawberry or raspberry jam · 120 g
Why this estimateLabelled 'Bagel & jam 16:30'. Plain bagel about 90 g plus about 30 g jam (roughly 1 tbsp per half). No butter seen. |
0:19 | 323 | 10 | 67 | 2 | 3 |
Dinner: spaghetti bolognese
Good 725 kcalDinner is a big bowl of spaghetti bolognese with a hearty beef and tomato sauce.
Lean beef protein and tomato goodness, a classic for good reason.
“No cheese on top? Somewhere, an Italian grandmother just sighed.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spaghetti bologneseOne large bowl: about 250 g cooked spaghetti (100 g dry) with about 250 g beef bolognese sauce · 500 g
Why this estimateLabelled 'Spag bol 18:00'. Sauce assumed to be about 100 g beef mince (10% fat), tomato and onion, with about 1 tsp olive oil. No cheese visible. |
0:22 | 725 | 38 | 91 | 21 | 8 |
Evening: whey Krispies and Skittles
Mixed 662 kcalEvening brings Rice Krispies drowned in a chocolate protein shake, then Biscoff biscuits and Skittles in the bath.
The whey brings protein, the Skittles bring pure added sugar.
“Protein shake as cereal milk, candy in the bath. Self-care has evolved.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Chocolate whey protein shake (used as cereal milk)1 shaker, about 300 ml semi-skimmed milk with 1 scoop (30 g) chocolate whey · 330 g
Why this estimateLabelled 'Whey protein & rice krispies 19:00'. Assumed to be mixed with milk because it's a bulk and it replaces cereal milk. Made with water it would be about 120 kcal. |
0:26 | 270 | 34 | 17 | 6 | 0 |
Rice KrispiesAbout 1.25 cups of cereal · 35 g
Why this estimateEaten with the whey shake poured over as the milk. |
0:26 | 134 | 2 | 30 | 0 | 0 |
Lotus Biscoff biscuits2 biscuits · 16 g
Why this estimateLabelled 'Biscoff & skittles 20:00'. One biscuit is clearly eaten and more may be in the bowl, so I assumed 2 (7.8 g each). |
0:29 | 76 | 1 | 11 | 3 | 0 |
SkittlesAbout a standard 45 g bag's worth, eaten from a patterned mug or bowl · 45 g
Why this estimateEaten in the bath at 20:00. The bath clips at the start (0–3 s) and end (30.5–34 s) show the same patterned mug or bowl. The caption 🍬 and the label confirm Skittles. The amount can't be seen. |
