'Like an entire turkey or a whole cheesecake': Guy sandbags a stranger's diet tracking app after they rudely thwart a friendly reminder to correct their login info

Let's see a raise of hands for how many folks out there pledged to eat healthier in 2025. Many of us have tackled our diets for a New Year's Resolution and considering a little over a week has gone by since the ball dropped in Times Square, I'd wager we're all starting to realize how much we miss those delicious foods that don't make the cut.

Cheesecake, mac and cheese, and BBQ tri-tip are a few entries in our diet app that you might consider fudging the numbers over, but certainly not when you're taking your diet tracking seriously. Still, when you're on a diet, and your mind is fuzzy from hunger after eating nothing but an iceberg lettuce salad for lunch, your mind may wander towards the dessert table, tempting you with chocolatey delights. And with your brain fog increased and your inhibitions low, you might completely forget to log that secret dessert. 

However, if days later you look back at your calorie tracking app and it says you ate a whole roast turkey last Wednesday, something's up. That's no secret snack, but an entire 8-person family dinner! Keep scrolling for the story of a guy who pranked a stranger on their diet app by adding random–and enormous–meals to their calendar.

  • I would have my flabbers absolutely ghasted if I were reviewing my weekly calorie intake and noticed that I'd eaten 4x my dietary expectations. While I'm no calorie counter myself, seeing a whole cheesecake as Tuesday morning's breakfast would be a pretty shocking encounter. That's why the prank in this next tale is so hilarious, because of the sheer audacity and stupidity of it. Nobody would actually eat all that food (and then log it permanently on the app) if they were on a real diet, but in 2025 perhaps this rude stranger deserved the mini heart attack.  

    Read on for the details and silliness of this anonymous prank.
