I eat like I'm in an apocalypse survival game. What did my survivor find to eat today? Ooh, root beer and string cheese.
Breakfast on weekdays is peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.
Throughout the day I drink water flavoured by raspberries and blueberries.
Dinner (or lunch to the rest of the English speaking world, I'm from northern England) is a chickpea and mixed vegetable salad I prep for the week on Sunday.
Tea (main evening meal) is normally a pie or something breaded like a Kiev or fish served with chips (chunky fries) and mixed frozen vegetables. Then Greek yoghurt with mashed frozen raspberries and blueberries for dessert.
As a snack most days some digestive biscuits with a cup of tea (what's normally called breakfast tea).
Saturdays I skip breakfast and have a bacon sandwich for dinner.
Once a month I order a huge calzone for tea on a Saturday (my local takeaway calls it the Monster, it has every kind of meat they serve in it) which I dunk in mayonnaise and pig out on whilst drinking a Doombar. Then I have another Doombar whilst smoking a cigar afterwards. Normally there's enough calzone left for food the following day.
Cheese. I'm pretty sure I never go a day without eating some cheese. Cheese is the best.
Unsweetened Greek yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast or a bagel and a hard boiled egg
Lunch: whatever leftovers I packed from dinner yesterday
Dinner: tacos, pasta, burgers, steak, sandwiches, wraps, or if I’m feeling lazy a bagel and cream cheese
Breakfast: Black tea with oat milk, oatmeal with peanut butter blueberries, and a touch of cinnamon and sugar.
Lunch: water, and a bunch of frozen fried garbage that I tossed in the oven and smothered in ketchup and ranch dressing.
Dinner: water, a microwave rice and lentil packet, and all the following separately sauteed, seasoned, then combined: lions mane mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. Produce was from farmers market except tomatoes from my garden.
Water.
Other than that I have a hard time eating consistently, the most likely is probably bread though.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 2 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 4 o’clock, just before I train, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. I’ll train and I’ll have me fish and I’ll come home, have some more fish with a rice cake and then have some fish before I go to bed and that’s it for the day.
A homemade sandwich with a glass of water.
I'm part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I'm eating very seasonally lately and it's nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I'm excited!
Water is my go to drink all day every day.
I dont really have a daily food go to.
Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?
All the cheese people I'm guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.
Food
Eat what I can, drink water.
Mostly rice and products with cooked vegetables. I drink only water.
A muffin in the morning ( usually coffee chocolate or blueberry) with a bottle of 2% milk for breakfast. Then a can of OJ and red bull. For lunch I just get a single patty burger with lettuce onions, and pickle slices. 2/3 of it with mayo and the other third ketchup. After that I drink another red bull when I get home, and that's about it. Depending on how much smoke I'll make myself a breakfast sandwich ( English muffin, an egg, sausage patty, and shredded sharp cheddar) to sate my munchies
Nothing in particular, just what I can find.
A typical day looks something like this:
Breakfast: egg beaters with mushrooms, peppers, onions, low-fat cheese, and either ham or turkey lunchmeat, topped with salsa or hot sauce, plus an orange and either yorkshire gold tea with condensed milk or Wawa pumpkin spice coffee
Post-workout: Core protein shake
Lunch: half-sandwich of ham and turkey with hummus and pickled onions on whole-grain bread, plus half a can of minestrone soup or a salad
Mid-afternoon: yorkshire gold again and maybe half an apple with chunky peanut butter
Dinner: usually lean meat (either chicken breast or pork tenderloin), green veg (steamed spinach with lemon and a little butter or maybe peas), and some type of starch, usually either a baked sweet potato or farro cooked in spiced broth
Dessert: 2 small pieces of dark chocolate or black licorace
All throughout I drink water.
Breakfast: Müsli or bread with Nutella, oatmilk
Lunch: Sandwich, yogurt, maybe something on the side like olives, caprese salad, whatever I fancy
Dinner: I cook something, preferably enough for two days or just some spaghetti or frozen pizza if I’m lazy.
Throughout the day I drink tea, iced tea and water

Trying to bulk up has me ingesting whey protein daily 90% to fill up. Even when cutting down you gotta take even more. One way or another it ends up in a shake or on few occasions, some nice recipes. Can't do better on a budget.
I'm on a very early schedule. It's usually black coffee until the afternoon, a snack a short nap, and then a big dinner around 5. I like to cook, so sometimes it's a full meat-starch-veggies affair. I'm also wicked overworked, so sometimes it's delivery or frozen crap. We go absolutely nuts in summer with all the stone fruit from the farmers market, less so as the offerings turn towards apples and such.
Oatmeal for breakfast every day. It’s easy I can make it in a mug at work using hot water from the coffee machine.
I usually have some hot Cheetos for lunch. I should quit but my diet is otherwise bland and so it’s nice to have something with some sort of spice once a day
Eat: At this time of the year, in no particular order, mandarins, chops and onions, coconut mullet/vege curry and rice, vita weats and vegemite, cheese, frozen berries with yoghurt, apple crumble, nori, chocolate, dolmades, salad from the front garden, chicken, eggs.
Drink: Water. I'm allergic to caffienne, so everyone else drinks tea and coffee, but not me.
Coffee ,water, piece of fruit, a nut bar or loose nuts/berries mix. Meat and two veg in some sort of combo for dins
Eggs, bread, cream cheese, vitamins, orange juice, and water.
Meat, eggs, avocado, cabbage and cauliflower.
Cereals in the morning, stuffed paratha and chutney from the local shop for lunch and biriyani for dinner.
Too much.
The only consistent thing is coffee, green tea and water. I'm new to tea but it might supplant coffee entirely actually. Green tea makes me feel good :)
As for food I switch it up a lot but I often eat plain yogurt with muesli for breakfast.
Sadly, just i can found. Like sandwitch or something. I know it's bad and I need to change my diet.
Carbonated water is like a drug for me, I often have to stop myself from drinking so much of it. Also drink coffee daily, but only one cup. My body reacts strangely to caffeine so I just get sleepy if I drink more than that.
Isn’t all piss and shit at some point?
Diet Dr. Pepper. I genuinely don't drink water at all some weeks. It's probably a problem? I AM collecting those sweet Dr. Pepper points, though. Got me a hat, backpack, apron, tumbler, 6 can mini fridge, can cooler, etc.
Espresso to kick the day off, then water the rest of the day. Occasionally some Gatorade to rehydrate.
Oh except for the days I drink so like most days that end in a y. Then anything over 9% alcohol that tastes good.
Food depends entirely on the second part. Healthy home cooked meals with lean protein and lots of veggies, often rice if I'm sober. Horrible unhealthy things go down the food hole when I'm not. If it's fried I will eat it when intoxicated.
After my morning exercises I drink a mug of diluted lemon juice with a pinch of salt. After this, I have a mug of hot milk, wheat flatbread with unsweetened peanut butter, a boiled egg, and a cup of green tea. This is my breakfast which I eat everyday. For lunch I have an apple, a cucumber, a tomato, a wheat flatbread with some cooked vegetables, some fish or chicken, homemade yogurt, and some Pomegranate. In the evening I have green tea with two teaspoons of roasted peanuts (yes I measure out the peanuts using a teaspoon). For dinner I have 5 heaped teaspoons of psyllium husk soaked in water. I like to eat the same food everyday. Maybe once in a while I might eat cake/a burger/something else instead of the peanuts.
My morning always starts with a mixed bowl of:
- Diced paypaya
- Diced seedless grapes
- Slices of banana
- 3 or 4 heaped tablespoons double-cream plain youghurt
- Cocoa powder to flavour
- Some powdered almond nuts
