Creators in larger bodies are showing us what\u2019s on their plate, and people have been watching the TikTok food trend from a different perspective. From relatability to backlash, what happens when plus-size people take the camera? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a normal workday in Liverpool for 27-year-old Chloe French. She hears the familiar click of the kettle, fills her pot noodle with boiling water, and sets her phone up on the desk ready to record. No editing, just an unfiltered account of the things she ate that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, no one was going to see it, she thought. She adds the voiceover and hits upload: “What I eat in a day as someone who\u2019s just trying to live her best life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chloe, known on TikTok as @chloesshitpost, joined Tiktok during the pandemic. Her video would be one of many uploaded that day as part of the \u2018what I eat in a day\u2019 trend, which allows users to document their daily food choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
