A realistic 'what I eat in a day' video, probably from Australia or the UK. Breakfast is homemade peanut butter chocolate chip muffins with a milky hot chocolate. Lunch is McDonald's breakfast: an Egg McMuffin, a hash brown and a large Coke. The afternoon dessert bowl has a slice of matcha crepe cake, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and two mini cupcakes. Dinner is kimchi tuna fried rice with a fried egg on top, eaten with seaweed. At bedtime she has more mini cupcakes from a tub.
