A TikTok video from a creator showcasing how much food her 17-year-old brother ate on a Royal Caribbean cruise has gone viral, with many guests impressed by his metabolism.

TikTok user kyleigh.pate shared the video of their cruise from Galveston, highlighting her brother Ryan’s daily diet.
It rapidly gathered a huge amount of attention, with almost 5 million views and 500,000 likes at the time of writing, along with over 9,000 comments.

Many of those comments are from impressed guests who praised the teen for enjoying himself and getting his money’s worth – and rightly so!
A lot of viewers said that they wished they still had the metabolism of a teenager, and that they would love to be able to enjoy themselves without the consequences.
In the day, Ryan ate a breakfast of:
- 6 slices of French toast
- 3 donuts
- A plate of bacon
- Hash browns
- 2 sausages
- A chocolate croissant
- 2 glasses of apple juice
Mid-morning he had his first ice cream cone, before lunch at Sorrentos with six slices of pizza. Then two more ice cream cones followed before dinner, which was:
- 3 cheddar bread rolls (with butter)
- Arancini for starters
- Two steaks (turf-and-turf) with a baked potato and broccoli
- A chocolate dessert with ice cream
- A lemon tart
And then to end the day, Ryan returned to Sorrentos for three more slices of pizza.
All of this food was included in the cruise fare, with many more complimentary options Ryan could’ve enjoyed, along with several speciality restaurants that have an additional charge, too.
If you’ve never cruised before, they really do let you enjoy plenty of variety in your food, and plenty of food while you’re at it too! If you want double steaks with your dinner, you just need to ask.
Fair play to Ryan! How does your typical cruise diet compare?
And it just goes to show that you can go viral on TikTok for just about anything!
