Meal by meal

Breakfast: chia pudding and greens

Good 350 kcal

Breakfast is a greens powder drink and a chia pudding topped with kiwi, strawberry and toasted almonds.

Chia brings a serious fibre haul, plus healthy fats from almonds.

“One lonely strawberry, doing all the heavy lifting for presentation.”

Lunch: salmon with red quinoa

Good 540 kcal

Lunch is a herby salmon fillet over red quinoa, with cucumber ribbons and a little yogurt dill sauce.

Protein and omega-rich healthy fats, with whole grains on the side.

“Edible flowers on the cucumber. This lunch clearly has a publicist.”

0:07 55 33 40

Drinks: blue shot and coconut water

Mixed 147 kcal

Next up, a toast with a little blue shot and a fresh coconut water straight from the shell.

Coconut water hydrates nicely; the blue shot just brings alcohol.

“Nothing says wellness like hydrating and dehydrating at the same time.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
Blue shot / small cocktail1 small jar, about 1/3 full (~30-40 ml) · 35 g · low confidence
Why this estimate

Two jars are raised for a toast; one is counted as the creator's. Assumed to be a blue-curaçao-type spirit shot. If it is a blue-spirulina wellness shot it is nearly calorie-free.

Snack: Matcha Mama açaí bowl

Mixed 455 kcal

Snack time is an açaí bowl from Matcha Mama, piled with mango, banana, kiwi, blueberries, coconut and granola.

Loads of fruit and fibre, but the granola sneaks in sugar.

“A smoothie that grew up wanting to be a salad bar.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre

0:09 455 675 1611

Drink: iced matcha latte

Mixed 180 kcal

Then it's an iced matcha latte, also from Matcha Mama, because one visit was never going to be enough.

A gentle caffeine lift, with some added sugar along for the ride.

“Matcha Mama is basically their landlord at this point.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre
Iced matcha latte (Matcha Mama)1 cup of ~16 oz with ice (~250 ml milk) · 300 g
Why this estimate

Two cups are shown; one is counted as the creator's. Assumes oat or plant milk with some sweetener.

0:10 180 328 62

Dinner: seafood spaghetti and salad

Mixed 1,060 kcal

Dinner is a spinach and grilled asparagus salad, a big plate of seafood spaghetti, and a pink cocktail.

Seafood brings protein, but the pasta mountain is mostly refined carbs.

“The salad showed up first so the spaghetti could feel less guilty.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre

0:13 180 015 00

Dessert: caramel ice cream

Bad 355 kcal

And for dessert, vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel and chocolate, with a crunchy waffle cone piece on the side.

Pure added sugar and saturated fat, wrapped in birthday energy.

“Technically it's always someone's birthday. The logic checks out.”

FoodAtkcal PCFFibre

Why this estimate
