      When I was still studying, I was badly addicted. One french press can (~0.8L) when I woke up, 0.3L cups when arriving at uni and during every break. If it was a work day, I’d drink several mugs (0.4 L) of coffee there (the full-time workers were always happy when they saw me because it meant someone was making sure there’s always fresh coffee).

      Eventually I went cold-turkey (mostly, kept drinking green tea) and it resulted in shakes, bad headaches, and fevers. Nowadays, I drink sane amounts, between 1 - 1.5 L of coffee, only.

    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

      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…

    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.

    Water.

    Other than that I have a hard time eating consistently, the most likely is probably bread though.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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!
