A vegan "what I eat in a day" video for a rest day, set to music with no speech. Breakfast is a stack of Kodiak pancakes with strawberries, blueberries and syrup, plus a side of diced pan-fried potatoes with peppers. Lunch is a bowl of sautéed squash with tomato and onion, a small grain the caption calls rice (it looks like quinoa), stewed beans and lettuce. Dinner is JINYA's spicy creamy vegan ramen with a small side bowl of broccoli, eaten at a restaurant with a companion. The caption also lists watermelon as a snack, but it is never shown.

Meal by meal

Snack: watermelon

Good 90 kcal

First up, a watermelon snack that's in the caption but never actually makes it on camera.

Juicy fruit with a side of hydration, hard to beat.

“The invisible watermelon: the most mysterious snack of the season.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
Watermelonabout 2 cups diced (assumed) · 300 g
Why this estimate

Only listed in the caption and never shown, so the amount is a typical snack portion.

Breakfast: Kodiak pancake stack

Mixed 669 kcal

Breakfast is a stack of Kodiak pancakes with strawberries, blueberries and syrup, plus pan-fried potatoes with peppers.

Protein pancakes and berries shine, but that syrup pour is mostly added sugar.

“Pancakes and potatoes: when you can't pick one carb, invite both.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
Kodiak pancakes3 pancakes, about 10–12 cm across (about 2/3 cup dry mix), cooked in a little oil · 180 g
Why this estimate

Kodiak protein pancake mix made with water or plant milk; includes about 1 tsp of pan oil. Kodiak's classic mix contains dairy, but the video is tagged vegan, so the exact mix is unknown.

Strawberries2 medium whole strawberries · 24 g
Why this estimate

Pancake topping.

Blueberriesabout 1/4 cup · 37 g
Why this estimate

Scattered over the pancakes.

Diced pan-fried potatoes with bell peppersabout 1 cup of 1.5 cm cubes with a little pepper · 170 g · low confidence
Why this estimate

Most likely breakfast potatoes, but nothing names them. Includes about 2 tsp of frying oil.

Maple syrupabout 2.5 tbsp poured over the pancakes · 50 g
Why this estimate

Amber syrup poured from a dark bottle; assumed to be pure maple syrup.

Lunch: squash, quinoa and beans

Good 391 kcal

Lunch is sautéed squash with tomato and onion, a scoop of quinoa or rice, stewed beans and lettuce.

Beans and grains team up for a serious fibre and plant protein win.

“The caption says rice, the camera says quinoa. We'll let them settle it.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
Sautéed squash with tomato and onionabout 1.25 cups · 200 g
Why this estimate

Zucchini or yellow squash with tomato, onion and a little pepper; includes about 1 tsp of cooking oil.

0:11 85 29 52
Quinoa (caption says rice)about 3/4 cup cooked · 140 g
Why this estimate

Looks like quinoa, but the caption says rice. White rice in the same amount would be about 150 kcal with less protein and fibre.

0:11 168 630 34
Stewed pinto/red beansabout 1/2 cup · 125 g
Why this estimate

Stewed or refried style; assumed to be made with little added fat.

Iceberg lettuceabout 1 cup of torn leaves · 55 g
Why this estimate

No dressing seen.

Dinner: JINYA vegan ramen

Mixed 931 kcal

Dinner is out at JINYA: a spicy creamy vegan ramen with tofu and veggies, plus a side of broccoli.

Tofu and veggies help, but that creamy broth brings serious sodium.

“Ordering a side of broccoli with ramen: the ultimate balance flex.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
JINYA spicy creamy vegan ramen1 full restaurant bowl · 750 g
Why this estimate

Creamy plant-based broth with chili oil, thick noodles, tofu, corn, broccoli, peas, spinach, onion, crispy fried onion/garlic and green onion. Estimated from typical restaurant vegan ramen; the broth (eaten in full) and the chili oil make up much of the fat.

Steamed broccoli (side bowl)about 1 cup of florets · 90 g
Why this estimate

Small side bowl next to their ramen; assumed plain.
