An Australian fitness coach has become a social media sensation, after recreating iconic fast food at home, for a fraction of the calories.

Bec Hardgrave has created ‘fakeaway’ recipes for menu items hailing from Grill’d, Red Rooster, McDonalds, Domino’s, Boost Juice, Starbucks and KFC. And they have us salivating!

The qualified health and fitness coach has amassed a following of more than 70,000 followers on TikTok and almost 80,000 on Instagram with her healthy hacks for fast food favourites. Here’s a look at some of her most popular recipes:

Grill’d Fakeaway

Usually the popular Summer Sunset regular burger meal at Grill’d is more than 1200 calories, but Bec’s version, with ingredients from Woolworths, is just over 600 calories. And that includes chips!

 

Bec also makes a fakeaway version of the Grill’d Sweet Chilli Chicken burger, which comes in at 435 calories. And she’s also mastered the famous (and delicious) Grill’d chips, using frozen chips cooked in an airfryer and a combination of herbs. They’re just 146 calories – YUM!

McDonalds Fakeaway

Of course, Bec had to tackle the golden arches, recreating a McDonalds Big Mac burger using ingredients from ALDI. It comes in at 420 calories, with 30g of protein.

She also whipped up a Maccas Filet-O-Fish and a McChicken burger using ALDI ingredients.

Red Rooster Fakeaway

More recently Bec has taken on Red Rooster’s Flayva Wrap, making it for just under 500 calories using ALDI ingredients.

  • These will be very welcome in our household as takeaways are now almost non existent for us. Love the fact that they contain less calories than the original too.

  • I rarely get takeaway and air fryer chips are still every bit as delicious!

  • It is so much easier and quicker to make burgers at home and give each person a nice hot one rather than have a soggy almost cold one home delivered with more calories to boot. And it is easier on the hip pocket too.

  • When you understand where the calories come from its easy to change meals up.. oil is a big one that adds ALOT of calories to foods.

  • I bought the ‘Parsley, Dill & Tarragon sauce’ (after much hunting around for it in store!) but have yet to try this hack.

  • I’m not sure why this is making this person so famous? People have been making home made rip offs of takeaway for years.

  • What a great way to have your tasty takeaways for less money and less calories. Just brilliant

  • These are great. Diet is all about balance, and making healthier versions of your favourite take away meals is a great way to do that! Plus you save a lot of money which is a bonus!
