@ambitions “to prove a point” is “to do something to purposefully demonstrate someone else is wrong or incorrect.”
Someone can do anything to prove a point. It depends on the situation. So
"She ate everything on her plate to prove a point" means she ate everything on her plate to show that someone else was wrong (or that she was right). If someone said “You cannot eat all that food!,” she might eat “everything on her plate” to show that she can and the other person is wrong.
