Meal by meal
Breakfast: chicken sausage egg taco
Good 642 kcalBreakfast is a low-carb taco stuffed with scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, cheese and avocado, plus berries and an iced oat latte.
A fibre-loaded tortilla wrapped around eggs makes a protein-packed start.
“Avocado sighting number one. Keep count, it matters later.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Breakfast taco (low-carb flour tortilla, 2 scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, shredded cheese, avocado, green hot sauce)1 taco on an 8-inch Carb Balance-style tortilla with 2 large eggs, about 1 chicken sausage link sliced, about 2 tbsp shredded cheese, about 1/3 avocado and 1–2 tsp hot sauce · 300 g
Why this estimateTortilla is 70 kcal with 15 g fibre (Carb Balance soft taco). 2 large eggs are 144 kcal. About 85 g chicken sausage is 140 kcal. About 14 g cheese is 55 kcal; the bag is opened but the amount used isn't shown. About 50 g avocado is 80 kcal. Includes about 1/2 tsp oil or spray for the pan (20 kcal) and green hot sauce (5 kcal). |

Blueberries and strawberriesAbout 1/2 cup mixed (about 15 blueberries and 5 strawberry pieces) · 75 g

0:11 | 33 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 2 |
Iced latte (espresso over milk and ice)1–2 espresso shots over about 180 ml milk in a 12 oz glass of ice · 240 g
Why this estimateOn-screen text says '2g of protein'. That is low for dairy milk at this volume, so I assumed a plant milk such as oat milk. |

Lunch: spicy tuna rice bowl
Good 696 kcalLunch is a spicy tuna rice bowl with chili cucumber salad, avocado and seaweed snacks for wrapping each bite.
Lean tuna protein plus avocado's healthy fats, a lunch that actually works.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spicy tuna mix (canned tuna, avocado-oil mayo, rice vinegar, sesame-style oil, sriracha, green onion, granulated garlic)About 1 large can of tuna (about 140 g drained), 1 tbsp mayo, about 1 tsp oil, about 1 tbsp sriracha, a splash of rice vinegar · 186 g
Why this estimateI sized the tuna so the bowl lands near the stated 42 g protein. Avocado-oil mayo is 100 kcal. The golden oil, probably sesame, is guessed at 1 tsp (40 kcal). Sriracha is 15 kcal; vinegar, garlic and green onion add almost nothing. |

Dinner: Greek chicken bowl
Good 740 kcalDinner is a Greek chicken bowl over rice and greens, with hummus, tzatziki, feta, avocado and a creamy lemon dressing.
Lean chicken and a pile of veggies; the sauces sneak in extra fat.
“The avocado is back again. At this point it's paying rent.”
| Food | At | kcal | P | C | F | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
White rice (dinner bowl)About 1/2 cup cooked · 100 g
Why this estimateLayered over the greens; mostly hidden under toppings in the finished bowl. |

Salad vegetables (spring mix, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pickled red onion)About 1.5 cups greens, 5 cherry tomatoes halved, 1/2 cup diced cucumber, 2 tbsp pickled red onion · 210 g

0:29 | 44 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 3 |
Greek-seasoned chickenAbout 3 oz cooked chicken cubes (about 10 pieces) with marinade oil · 90 g
Why this estimateI kept the portion smaller than it looks (an eye estimate of 110–140 g) so the bowl stays close to the stated 37 g protein. Includes about 1 tsp olive oil from the marinade or pan. |
0:30 | 180 | 26 | 0 | 8 | 0 |
Hummus and tzatzikiAbout 2.5 tbsp hummus and 2 tbsp tzatziki · 67 g

| Feta cheese crumblesAbout 3 tbsp crumbled · 25 g | 0:33 | 66 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 0 |
Creamy lemon/tahini-style dressingAbout 2 tbsp drizzled · 30 g · low confidence
Why this estimatePale, opaque dressing; the exact type is a guess (oil-based lemon or tahini). |

Dessert: protein Creami ice cream
Good 330 kcalDessert is a cake batter protein ice cream made in the Ninja Creami, topped with rainbow sprinkles.
Dessert that's secretly a protein shake? Sneaky smart, sprinkles and all.
“Cake batter flavour, no cake. The Creami cult claims another member.”

Cake batter Ninja Creami protein ice cream with sprinkles1 full Creami pint plus about 1 tsp rainbow sprinkles · 420 g
