As a professional cook, cigarettes and microwave food is how I sustain myself most of the time, here’s some things that count as meals (that I have had in the last 30 days)

• A cigarette + black coffee

• 3 whole tomatoes, raw (I just casually started eating them like apples and honestly, not bad)

• microwave rice + microwave curry

• instant noodles

• canned soup

• literally just buttered bread

• potato, microwaved until cooked, seasoned with MSG, pepper and hot sauce

• you can have just salami as a whole meal, as a treat

• a tub of yoghurt and strawberries (stolen from work)

• just a bunch of lettuce eaten with chopsticks with a side of vinaigrette as a dipping sauce since I didn’t want to toss salad

• Guinness

Honestly if it weren’t for the fact that I do over 10,000 steps a day, drink 6+ litres of water and avoid carbonated beverages, I think I’d be extremely unhealthy instead of just moderately unhealthy.

Being single really affected my diet. I made an effort to cook when I had a girlfriend. I did mise en place! At home! Without being paid!
