I Tried the Tiffany Plate Diet for a Day—Here’s What Happened

If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the viral “Tiffany Plate” trend. Made popular by influencer, it's a colorful, protein-heavy way of eating that’s low in carbs, visually appealing, and full of raw or pickled veggies, sausage, and lots of mustard. I decided to give it a try—for one full day—and here's how it went.

For Breakfast:

• 1 boiled egg – 80 kcal

• ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese – 90 kcal

• ½ cup dragon fruit – 30 kcal

• ½ Japanese sweet potato (boiled) – 50 kcal

• 5 radish slices – 5 kcal

• 1 tsp mustard – 5 kcal

• ½ cup cucumbers – 10 kcal

➡️ Total: ~310 kcal
The egg added some much-needed richness to the plate. The sweet potato gave warmth, and the mustard… well, I’m still not fully on board with it at breakfast.

For Lunch:

• 2 chicken sausages (140 kcal each) – 280 kcal

• 1 boiled egg – 80 kcal

• ¼ cup hearts of palm – 35 kcal

• 5 pickled okra – 20 kcal

• ½ cup raw Brussels sprouts – 20 kcal

• ½ cup cucumbers – 10 kcal

• 1 tbsp mustard – 10 kcal

• 1 tbsp cottage cheese (dip) – 45 kcal

➡️ Total: ~470 kcal
This was my favorite plate of the day. The egg and sausage combo made it hearty, while the raw veg gave it texture. The mustard kind of grew on me here—especially with the sausage.

For Dinner:

• 1 chicken sausage – 140 kcal

• 2 boiled eggs – 160 kcal

• ½ cup bell peppers – 20 kcal

• ½ cup cucumber – 10 kcal

• ½ cup dragon fruit – 30 kcal

• 1 tbsp mustard – 10 kcal

➡️ Total: ~370 kcal
This was simple but filling. The eggs definitely made it feel like more of a meal. I skipped cottage cheese here for variety, and the dragon fruit gave it a sweet finish.

Daily Total: ~1,150 kcal

Still on the lower end, but much more sustainable than the version without eggs. The added eggs made the plates more satisfying and helped round out the protein.

✅ What I Liked

• Very filling for low-calorie meals

• Lots of protein from sausage, eggs, and cottage cheese

• Easy to prep—most things were raw or boiled

• Visually satisfying!

⚠️ What I Didn’t Love

• Salt overload (pickled veg, sausage, and mustard)

• Still too low in calories for a regular day unless you snack or increase portions

• Repetitive after 3 meals

Would I Do It Again?

Yes—with modifications. Adding eggs helped make the plate feel more balanced. I’d probably rotate this style in for quick lunches or light dinners. It’s fun, colorful, and oddly satisfying... just maybe not every meal of every day.
