A student bodybuilder, one week out from a show, films a full day of eating on a cutting diet, with the time and macros for each meal on screen. Lunch (meal one, 11:18) was a ground beef and mixed vegetable meal-prep bowl topped with what looks like kimchi, with a bottle of Cherry Coke Zero. The 3:21 PM pre-workout meal was cream of rice with blueberries and cinnamon. At 6:30 PM he had cream of rice with apples and peanut butter protein, plus a can of A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer Float. He finished the day at 8:52 PM with a bowl of chicken and fried eggs over vegetables and a small bowl of frozen grapes with cinnamon.

Dinner: apple peanut butter rice

Good 398 kcal

Dinner is round two of cream of rice, this time with apples, peanut butter protein and a dusting of cocoa.

And on the side, a can of zero sugar A&W root beer float soda, which he insists is goated.
