In theory, ‘My Day on a Plate‘ articles should be perfectly innocuous: somebody famous writes down exactly what they eat in a day to give the public a little insight into their routine. End of story.
However, history has taught us these food diaries are ripe for public mockery — because as it turns out, celebrities eat some pretty wacky things.
Remember when chef Pete Evans revealed his affinity for ‘cultured vegetables’ and those infamous activated almonds? Or when Therese Kerr shared that she enjoys a glass of “reverse osmosis (alkalised, mineralised) water with magnesium powder, vitamin C powder, sinc and selenium liquid”?
Oh, how the internet scoffed.
Not all ‘days on a plate’ are this eyebrow-raising, though. Kayla Itsines posted hers on Facebook yesterday, and it’s refreshingly devoid of ‘trendy’ superfoods.

She is really great. Her meal plans are easy, can be done on a budget and tasty, and are exercise plans are do-able without expensive gym equipment, unlike some other ones!!
I agree. There are a bunch of haters who complain that her food guides are dangerously devoid of calories and promote eating disorders. I have her guides, and they are absolutely nothing like the haters describe. I actually worried the daily calorie limit - 1600 - was too high for weight loss. Most people recommend 1200 calories a day for a women to lose weight, so I don't know why people complain Kayla's are too low. Just jealous competitors I guess.
