TikTok's 'Boy Kibble' trend explained

TikTok has a habit of labeling food — remember Girl Dinner and Slop Bowls — and the latest label is Boy Kibble. The name is intentionally silly, another bit of branding for a fairly ordinary meal.

At its core, Boy Kibble is lean ground beef served over white rice. The concept is straightforward: basic protein plus carbs, as simple and repeatable as pouring kibble into a bowl.

People often add vegetables or swap in chicken or turkey, but the goal stays the same: an easy, healthy meal that requires little cooking experience. Even some accomplished cooks have shared their takes on the dish.

It isn't meant only for men, just as Girl Dinner wasn't only for women. More than a trend label, Boy Kibble describes the kind of no-fuss, protein-forward meals many gym-goers have long relied on.
