After decades of diet culture and fasting fads, women are tired of living under the guise of health. We’ve instead opted to slap a fun label on unhealthy eating patterns: “girl dinner.”

Creators had innocent intent when they originally dubbed fancy charcuterie boards as girl dinners — a meal of cheese, crackers, meat, and vegetables sounds delightful, and I don’t think any of us object to the womanly art of the cheese board. The trend turned sinister when women began to glamorize next-to-nothing snacks as full meals.

While some post their “girl dinners” in jest, some appear to be only eating pickles and miniature cheesecake for dinner. You’d think other women would discourage the behavior — after all, many of us have faced or will face unhealthy eating habits or body-image issues at some point in our lives — but the social-media response has been overwhelmingly friendly. Women are hyping each other up, calling a dinner of Coke Zero, “real,” and “relatable.” “Me all summer,” one user said of the soda dinner. If you’re puzzled, think of “boy lunch” as a dry scoop of protein powder, or “journalist breakfast,” which might be a couple of cigarettes and a martini.

Some of the plates look balanced, but others promote restrictive eating. Similar TikTok videos do the same. Another popular trend is “What I eat in a day,” in which people post videos of their low-calorie or unsubstantial meal plans. As TikTok goes, so goes industry: Popeyes is now selling its own version of the girl dinner, a meal that consists of a couple of the chain’s popular sides (in other words, not a full meal).

TikTok was made to humor unhealthy patterns. Girl dinner might seem innocuous. But the platform promotes unrealistic body standards, and comparison via social media is a game users and creators take seriously. It’s a safe enough trend for adults who know better, or even for young women who find entertainment value in such videos — but TikTok is the most popular social-media app among malleable children, who spend an average of 113 minutes per day on the site. Eating habits are developed in childhood, and they’re hard to change. Women especially need nutritional guidance; fertility, hormone production, and muscle formation are all dependent on a healthy nutritional balance, which often doesn’t correspond with being the skinniest girl in the room (unlike TikTok would have you believe).

A dinner of convenience might sound nice and there’s no catch-all approach to eating. Girl dinner, though, even taken non-seriously, just seems like an excuse to achieve a summer body by restricting calories.
