A New Zealand woman has gone viral after sharing the elaborate lunches and snacks she prepares for her tradie boyfriend, which sometimes include a McDonald's favourite.

"I make all sorts of kai because who doesn’t love a good feed!" she added on her profile as the reason for starting her account, which already has 7500 followers, a month ago.

Her partner is a tradesman who works long hours on building sites, so she typically makes him two kinds of breakfast sandwiches, lunch and plenty of prepared snacks and drinks for the day.
