Poll: What is Your Everyday Diet?

[Deleted]

Alright for the poll I've divided it up into 4 groups. If course these are broad so feel free to post what you eat in a regular day, and if you have a combination diet.

Mom's Cooking - You enjoy food prepared by your parents (or maybe a roomate) since you live at home. By far the best option, and its going to suck to leave the daily spaghetti and salad when I go to college next year ;_; Someone who has this diet favors cooked full meals.

College diet - you don't eat a lot - or you eat a lot of one type of food. Either due to a low income or busy life, or both. Someone who has this diet favors ramen. This is different from junkie int hat you try to keep a balanced diet, but can't.

Junkie - You eat a lot of fast food/restaurant food because you can afford it. This also includes candy and other non healthy food. Also this is for people who don't eat a lot as well, and live off the occasional snack or pizza.

Regular diet - you cook your own food and you eat what you think is a balanced diet. This is different than mom's cooking because you choose what you eat instead of eating whatever someone else makes.

Me, I live off Mom's Cooking, with a bit of Junkie thrown in. In a year or so, though, I'm going to switch over to college kid and hopefully go to regular diet shortly. Also for more discussion value - if you are living by yourself, what foods are both cheap AND nutritious. Eating noodle every day doesn't seem to appealing. I love potatoes and could live off them if I had to.

Usually one. Three and Four much less often


I LOVE my moms cooking, but I'm not dependent on it.

 

[TeeBs]

4, because I love my cooking.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

A mix of 2, 3 and 4. I try to maintain a regular diet whenever I can, but since my job has irregular hours and I'm on the road a lot or I lack the time to prepare something, I often have to eat whatever is available: club sandwiches, fries, microwave pizza, noodles, kebab, etc.

I do like making stir fried food. It's relatively quick and easy to prepare, yet tasty and depending on what you put in, cheap and nutritious. You'll need to get some supplies like oil and spices, but they should last you a while and if you look around a bit, you can find them for cheap.

Regular diet. I eat better now that I'm away from home oddly enough. Having a mini-fridge in my room, I knew things had to change .

 

[Harlemura]

Mix between 1 and 2. Throughout the day, it usually goes like this;
Cereal
-Go to college-
Sausage roll from Greggs
-Get back from college-
Some Oreos
Dinner cooked by parent

This could fit into Junkie as well, but I already voted "1+2", so whatever.

If I didn't have to walk to and from college, I'd probably weigh about 5 tonnes by now.

 

[Imp Poster]

a true junkie. I been eating fast food at least once a day, primarily lunch because I eat out at work for about 15 years. Ever since I was 18 years old till 30 years old, I didn't gain any weight. I had the same waist size 30 at that time period. Heck, I even thought I was going to gain weight doing it but it didn't happen. It wasn't until I turned 31, I actually gained 30 pounds and went to a waist size 34. But I think that was the beers I have had over the years than fast food. My favorite fast food is McDonald's. I have a weakness for Filet o fish and chicken nuggets and occasional Big Mac, super sized in a combo.. is good stuff.

I am pretty active. I like to surf and snowboard. I don't eat much either though. I get full fast yet chew my food slowly. Sometimes, I stop eating because I get tired of chewing. But I been eating my food faster the older I get and consume more as well. This is a background so you don't think I am not human.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

I cook my own food, I wouldn't call it home cooking, but I wouldn't call it a regular diet. I eat what I feel like really.

 

[BreakfastMan]

1+4. My mother cooks dinner every day, but not much else. So I just make my own breakfast and lunch most days. I try to be healthy about it though.

 

[linwolf]

4, I love food. So I spend a lot of time making something good.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Mix between 1 & 2. Since the community college I'm going to right now isn't that far away, I still live with my mom for now. So I'll usually have something nice for dinner, usually a pasta, some meat, and some veggies. Any other time though and I'm usually eating whatever is easiest to make. Plain bread and ginger ale for breakfast; a sandwich, some crackers, maybe cookies, or some leftovers from a previous dinner; and sometimes just a repetition of what I had for lunch for dinner. I imagine once I'm off to a university, my diet will consist entirely of option #2. I'll probably subsist mainly on sandwiches and crackers.

 

[Underground Man]

If it doesn't come ready-to-yomp in a can or a box, I ain't willing to bother with it, because I can't cook for shit. Plus cooking is way too much work for a busy funemployed gamer such as myself. I'd go get fast food, but I'm broke as hell and can't drive anyway.

The fundamental issue is that I'm often just too lazy to eat. Probably explains why I dropped another pound this week.

What is Your Everyday Diet?

Food.

Heh, okay I'll answer legitimately.

I can't vote because you don't have an option for 1 and 4. That is, sometimes I get awesome cooking done for me, and sometimes it's all me. Not entirely bad at all.

 

[The Bum]

A mix of 1 3 and 4, god my mum can cook

 

[Comma-Kazie]

Um, food?

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Mix of 1 and 3. I know how to make food that isn't fat drenched in fat with fat filling, but I'm just too lazy to do it. (Even though I astound myself with my delicious rice and chicken). I eat a minimal breakfast, then I eat lunch at school (although sometimes I eat quite little since the food isn't exactly delicious there), then my dad usually makes dinner, or me or my sister makes dinner if he's not home.

 

[Sleekgiant]

College diet, if you don't have a big box of ramen you're doing it wrong ;D

 

[Megalodon]

Is college the same as Uni for Americans?
Technically 2 and 4. I eat a lot, it's generally unhealthy (especially the bacon fired in lard, but it's too damn good) but I cook it all myself. I'll eat the same thing for a few days because I cook in family size amounts so I can not worry about cooking for a few days. Generally, nobody except me and the parents (when I'm back home) put enough Chilli in food.
What actually is ramen?

 

[Talshere]

I find your choices lacking. I and 2, 3 and 4.

I home cook my own meals, but as a student I cook what I know without experimenting, and its generically food that I can cook and spend the next 4 days eating, such as Beef stew and bolognese, yet I also have those periods where I just get takeaway 4 days straight or eat 17 bars of chocolate in a day.

Yes, they had to be different, so what the rest of the world calls university they call college.
