Ask Lemmy

I don’t really eat meals. I’m more of a grazer

Hunger. It greeted the man at dawn, and laid down with him at dusk. Sometimes, it gnawing woke him up at night. There's only the hunger, the dead, and a terrible solution.

But for real, microwaved potatoes with whatever my CSA hooks me up with. I'm vegetarian for economic reasons, most of the time anyway.

Bruh I'm just trying to survive out here

Breakfast Cafe con leche, sometimes with toast or oatmeal but always the coffee. Not right away, usually 3 hours after I get up.

Lunch usually leftovers from last night's supper, if there isn't any then a salad or sandwich or whatever the special is in the work cafe

Supper I cook so whatever I want. This week I have food to make one spaghetti day, one day steak & tomatoes marinated in preserved lemon and soy sauce, one day shrimp and pineapple skewers, one day halal chicken, one day beans, rice, and greens from the garden. There is no usual. Different stuff all the time.

Sometimes I bake too, this weekend making sourdough donuts.

Breakfast: black coffee

Lunch: brown rice, cheese, jalapeno, red onion, some protein (usually chicken)

Dinner: salad (shredded cabbage, cheese, homemade balsamic vinaigrette, carrot, bell pepper, red onion) with something crunchy (currently gluten-free knekkebrød, but I'll be out after my next meal and it's not sold anymore here in Japan (or at least my area thereof)).

Snack/Dessert: chips and salsa or yogurt or peanuts and chocolate chips

I do two meals a day.

Brunch Most common, probably 2-3x a week: Bacon, egg & cheese biscuit, yogurt with fruit. Next most common: Protein shake, Fruit, Almonds

Supper Most common: Something high protein I can mean prep in advance. Chilli, Beans with pork, Rotiserie Chicken. All combined with a side of greens. Latest addition: Bowl of homemade peanut butter, banana, coffee.

mostly food

Breakfast: Coffee, maybe with milk.
Lunch: Usually nothing, maybe a salad.
Dinner: Burritos

It works for me

Breakfast: a couple peanut butter sandwiches or quesadillas (just tortilla and shredded cheese, maybe a little hot sauce.) Sometimes I'll add an egg to the quesadillas if I have time.

Lunch: none

Dinner: Beans and rice or maybe rice or ramen with some mixed frozen veg and furikake. Or just more peanut butter or coldcut sandwiches.

Being poor and too stressed/tired to give a fuck sucks. Just gotta make it a couple more months and I'll be able to fix it all. That's what I keep telling myself anyhow. Gonna try to scrape together some spare change this coming month for a bucket of Orgain or something. Extra protein, fiber, etc.

I’m in the UK. Wtf is ‘Ezekial’ bread?

Breakfast: no fucking way you chase me out of bed in time.

Lunch: leftovers from dinner.

Dinner: 300g of meat/ fish/ chicken. Salad (usually red onion, lettuce, peppers, feta cheese, cucumber).

I've got about 80% adherence to this diet. Either my belt has gotten longer or my waist has gotten smaller.

Brunch: pemmican

Dinner: every now and then pemmican

Snacks: none

One to two meals a day is the win

I've been simplifying my routine, after the gym I typically just have 300-600g of very fatty meat plus a coffee or two for lunch - that's it for the whole day. OMAD. I'm lazy, very lazy.

I just try to not eat too much processed food and go to the gym

I am here reading and snorting a bit about how particular some people are about their food and its protein content, and wondering who can afford all that salmon and greek yoghurt ... although, I'm fussy about my food as well, just in a different way.

Morning is home made sourdough, butter, cheese, often an egg, sometimes meat. Lunch is the same, if I don't forget. Dinner is either insane amounts of meat and vegetable, all home raised and grown, or something insanely unhealthy, like 1l of custard or a ramen soup or two pieces of cake. Meals I forget are replaced by coffee and a blunt (lots of small meals throughout the day are good for you!).

It's balanced in the way that very unhealthy things are combined with top quality stuff in a balanced way. 🧐

Since I often forget to eat I always have to have a quick option available, therefore custard and ramen are the lesser evils. Other than that I try to produce everything myself out of local ingredients and eat really well for really cheap.

Right now it's oatmeal+cinnamon+maple syrup/honey + raisins with milk or water

I learned I love oatmeal

• Breakfast: None.
• Lunch: Cereal if I feel like eating, otherwise I skip.
• Dinner: Chicken wraps, with tomato, lettuce, and Mayo.

I'll eat a snack later in the evening if I'm still hungry.

Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest...

I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol

For me it's

Breakfast: Wholegraim bread with a Banana (sometimes a nut spread) + Coffee

Luch: Currently due to the heat wave some type of bean salat with tofu bites and a protein bar.

Dinner: Proteinshake & lentin wavers with hummus and some vegies & vegan cold cuts.

Ezekial bread

I'm not a big bread fan, due to it not being much better than junk food IMO, but that stuff looks great!

Shrimp kebab

A good reminder to me that a pescatarian diet includes non-fish seafood. That said, I haven't checked on the nutritional profiles of crustaceans for a long time. Not sure how 'healthy' or not they're currently considered...

Btw, for my wraps, I like to have these, which are mainly made out of resistant starches and only have about half the typical # of kcals. Altho when I get around to it, I'm going to try another round of making my own oat-flour wraps as a similar health upgrade.

Anyway, in terms of fish, I have salmon fairly often, and a bit of canned tunafish, and some omega-3 capsules every day. Diet is mostly soup and stew-based in general, with fresh veggies and some low-cal noodles. Air-fryer is also an essential food prep tool, as well as the spiral elements on my oven, great for precision grilling.
