This post is late because I spent like four hours trying to get my internet to work to make this post. I'm pretty annoyed at this point.
12:30 pm
AT HOME, 1 glass of 1% milk, and a bowl of beef/vegetable curry with rice, because I am hungry and just woke up, and both of those things are already there in my fridge and only require microwaving.
5:00 pm
AT HOME, spinach salad with fresh mozzarella and basil, dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, because I have basil lying around and I want to finish it, and my spinach expires on monday... also, salad involves no cooking. A glass of water, because I'm thirsty (and my only other beverage option is milk).
5:30 pm
AT HOME, 7 dinosaur shaped frozen fish sticks, because I am still hungry after salad, and I like dinosaurs. I imagine I'm still hungry because I forgot to pack a lunch and I couldn't afford to buy anything at school.
7:00 pm
AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE, a couple handfuls of cheetos, because everyone is doing it. a giant bottle of water, because i'm dehydrated.
1:00 am
AT HOME, some general mills plain cheerios, because i like them before bed. another glass of 1% milk, because i also like it before bed, and it's in easy reach, just inside the fridge.
SATURDAY
12:30 pm At home: a banana i stole from my roommate, because i just woke up and I was hungry, and there weren't too many other options, since our sink spewed water everywhere and then stopped working and made everything in the kitchen a disaster. The power pretty much stopped working too. That was so great.
2:00 pm Salted peanuts in my bedroom, because i didn't want to go upstairs and face the mess that was my kitchen.
3:00 pm Two more packets of salted peanuts- stress eating for a test on monday, and still in my bedroom.
5:00 pm Grocery store sushi that I ate at home. Normally, it would be preferable to cook up some kind of meal since it's the weekend and all, but the kitchen is still all broken.
6:00 pm a small tea at a coffee shop nearby, because I needed to study somewhere with working electricity.
SUNDAY
10:30 am at home: banana and tea at home. tea to wake me up and the banana because it was there.
12:30 pm Halls cough drops, because I think I caught something from my roommate.
2:30 pm Couscous salad from the grocery store, because I needed food and our sink was still spewing stuff and our electricity wasn't really functioning.
6:00 pm Delivery pizza at home, because I couldn't be bothered to try and cook something without electricity, and it's just so easy to call and pay and eat.
7:00 pm More cough drops! same reasons as the ones I had at 12:30 pm.
9:00 pm Plain cheerios and a glass of milk, to help me concentrate on studying while not being too fattening, considering that I ate pizza earlier in the day.
2:00 am a bunch of saltines while trying to reconnect the internet by finding a working power outlet in our house. See, some of them work and some of them don't? It was exciting. Normally I'd be asleep by now, but I had to get online to make this post.
This was not really a normal weekend, because I usually don't have a broken house. But.... I ate a combination of cooked food, store bought meals, and snacks, and that's not really atypical. I try to eat food cooked at home usually, because i'm poor, but I did end up eating out anyway. I only drink water or milk, but I do have tea if I need to go to a cafe for internet. I mostly eat at home.
Sorry to hear about your kitchen situation. Its obvious that it changed your typical eating habits. Even so, your diet seemed still healthy. Banana served as good fruit source, peanuts as protein, milk for dairy, and cereal for carbs. Some people in your situation would go to fast food as an alternative, but you just stuck to simple foods that were much healthier... kudos.
