An Australian fitness star has shared a glimpse of what she eats in a day while participating in an eight-week challenge.
Mum-of-five Chontel Duncan revealed her 1700 calorie ‘day on a plate’ on Monday – which didn’t exclude homemade burgers or a sweet dessert after dinner.
The 33-year-old from Brisbane posted a video on Instagram and said her daily food intake changes often depending on what she feels like eating.

The recommended daily calorie intake is 2,000 calories a day for women and 2,500 for men.
In order to build muscle you should be eating more calories than what your body burns in a day – which is usually over 1800 calories.
Previously Chontel shared how she often puts her children’s nutrition before her own – something other parents related to.
‘Being a busy mama, I find nutrition is the first thing I sacrifice. I can easily forget to eat for the first half of the day, leaving me starving like a wild animal by the afternoon. Which then results in me consuming my entire body weight in food,’ she wrote on Instagram.
‘OR I am purchasing some high in sugar, processed food from the coffee drive-through.
‘My goal is to get back into a routine, prioritise my needs and fuel my body, especially while I am living off minimal sleep.’
