Coffee. Unhealthy amounts of coffee.
Coffee is delicious though

Cheese. I’m pretty sure I never go a day without eating some cheese. Cheese is the best.
Coffee, water and bread
Favorite bread?
Whatever they sell at nearest bakery in my village. It’s very nice and always fresh.
You have a local bakery. You’re lucky.
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.
This… what?
I’ve never heard of these Northern English pecularities. Fascinating.
Water.
Other than that I have a hard time eating consistently, the most likely is probably bread though.
Food and liquids.
Liquids include hydrochloric acid and piss too.
I didn’t want to say it. Thank you for being braver than I am
I get to work and make myself a toasted bagel sandwich with jam and vegan cream cheese. I also make a flask of earl grey tea with a teaspoon of sugar. Lunch is often a veggie burrito. Dinner depends. Usually stew or curry or stir fry.

what cream cheese do you use? I’m severely lactose intolerant and I haven’t found a decent one yet
The one at work is Violife.
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.
Sounds fishy 🤔
Tea (either black tea or some native herbal tea) and wholemeal cookies, sometimes sandwiches with sausage or peanut butter or sweet equivalent, pasta with minced pork and ketchup, etc.
Tea drinkers unite
How does your native tea taste?
Well, we have mint, fireweed (Ivan-chai) and many other I don’t know. Mint tea is ubiquitous all around the world. Fireweed tea (Gauromečio arbata) has quite an interesting taste and smell. If you tried to taste raw Chinese green tea leaves (before preparation of tea), it has a similar taste. Nowadays, in the shop, a wide variety of different herbal mixes is sold. We didn’t have any caffeinated drinks until 1990s.
An interesting drink is ‘acorn coffee’ which is set into the National Registry but I never tried that one.
And also we have berry-based hot drinks served as ‘tea’, most notably buckthorn tea.
Rolled oats with either yogurt or milk for breakfast, 9 out of ten days, and 2 L of water during the day
After switching to steel cut oats, I’ve never been able to go back to rolled oats
What do you eat for dinner?
2 L seems quite excessive
Not really. My countrys recommendations are 1½ L a day, more if you’re active, and since I ride my bike for 8-10 hours for exercise a week, and commute on bike for another three, aiming for 2 L is not unreasonable
2 liters of water isn’t excessive.
So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:
- About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
- About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women
These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.
In both cases, 2 liters of water is closer to what you should be drinking.
The paper did not suggest that that is the amount you should be drinking. It had based the adequate daily fluid intake on the median total water intake from US survey data. “In this setting, the AI should not be interpreted as a specific requirement.” AI (Adequate daily fluid intake). “… on a day-to-day basis, fluid intake, driven by the combination of thirst and the consumption of beverages at meals, allows maintenance of hydration status and total body water at normal levels.”. Just drink when you are thirsty and you should be fine. But you do you.
Yes, drinking when you are thirsty is a good idea. No one is saying 2 liters is a requirement. It’s just a normal amount to drink and around the average adequate daily fluid intake amount if all you drink is water.
Breakfast is almost ALWAYS toast with crunchy peanut butter and honey on it.
Ooh, gonna have to try that. I just do peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.
Ya the dash of honey makes it perfect. :)
For some reason I can’t eat peanut butter in the morning, it’s weird. I’ve tried, and it makes me gag. But I LOVE peanut butter in general, and crunchy with honey is my favorite. If I’m feeling extra special I’ll add some salted butter…
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!
Eggs in some fashion
Coffee
Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: coffee
Dinner: coffee
Dessert: coffee
Midnight snack: coffee
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.
Lentils and rice are so easy and so much better on the stove. I get it if it’s too much hassle, but you’re already going to so much trouble. I tend to cook for a few meals at once, so I’ll do a cup of rice, two chopped up carrots, vegetable bouillon, and all the necessary water, then after that’s cooked for ten minutes, I’ll add the lentils, and cook until they’re done. Check cook times to get the timing right.
The carrot is there because it makes an enormous difference for lentils- lentils need carrots like pasta needs salt.
Thanks for the tips! I never knew about the carrot lentils thing. How finely do you chop the carrots?
