Esther Olsson, a 33-year-old artist based in Melbourne, Australia, shared her typical day's meals on social media, sparking a detailed dietary critique from dietitian Dr. Joanna McMillan. The day began with black coffee and T2 Australian Breakfast tea, followed by crudités and a matcha mochi ball for morning snacks around 10:15 am. For lunch at 12:30 pm, Olsson enjoyed chicken sandwiches filled with cabbage, mayo, jalapeños, and pickles. At work, she received a Caramello Koala from her boss as a treat in the afternoon. Later that evening, she visited Kip&Co's new store in Fitzroy for a beer before opting for potato tots for dinner due to fatigue. McMillan critiqued Olsson’s diet, noting insufficient fiber and protein, and a lack of key micronutrients such as calcium and iron, which could negatively impact long-term health.
