Vege bean burrito with too much hot sauce and extra lettuce.
I feel palpable guilt if I don't eat one every 1-2 days. It's funny to see this post; I was just talking myself out of making one because I'm not hungry (but I had something else to eat so I feel like I cheated in some way)
ETA this has been the case for 20 years. I had to take a 5 day DOT ferry and all I brought to eat was a cooler with 2 cans of beans, a package of tortillas, a head of lettuce, and 4 different hot sauces.
I honestly kind of thought that everyone did this until now
I mean, it's literally vege refried beans, lettuce, hot sauce, tortilla lol
I have variations with the hot sauce- my fave has always been habanero Tabasco! but sometimes I'll use el yucateco, any high heat marie sharps, many unique sauces from stores all over, or any homemade sauces I have.
Sometimes ghost pep salsa makes an appearance, but salsa makes the tortilla drippy so not always. I was adding x sharp Tillamook cheese for the first half of this diet but I've stopped craving cheese/dairy in the past 10 years or so

I used to eat the same food every day and ended up with hemorrhoids. Passing stool was a slow, painful, bloody process every time. It took years to recover from that.
When I just wake up I need sustenance but my motor skills are as low as my brain fog is high. I -am- however functional enough to press the "make coffee button" and slap a spoon in a container of yogurt.
Yogurt and decaf* coffee are nice, but not enough to keep my 100+KG of pure overthinking going for long. Luckily, while sipping on my coffee I can knead dough, so by lunchtime I should have fresh bread. (or stale bread from the day before)** What goes on the bread has been decided mostly in my youth, has been altered when I moved on my own, and these days only gets tweaked... it works, why fuck with it.
Dinner has been planned over the weekend so when evening starts and my brain is all cooked out, but my motor skills are at its peak, cooking up some pasta/rice/potato dish with veggies should be easy. Anything more involved is for occasions where I have time to be invested in cooking. On weekends I cook bulk for the days where I don't function, so my freezer is stuffed with all sort of 1 pan dishes.
Within these variables I eat fairly varied, but you really don't want to be around when I am forced to change them on short notice. EG; when I forgot to get yoghurt, it might take me untill mid afternoon untill ive recovered ^^"
it took me about 15 years to work this system out, but by george I have finally mastered eating 3 meals a day.
*Don't give me regular, apocalypses have been started over less.
**Im working on baguette dough so I can make it the day before so i can portion better and don't have to knead in the morning)
Right? I can't even meal prep because I can't even eat the same food more than 2 days in a row. I wish I could for my health and easier cooking, less thinking about food, but I can't do it. I'd jump off a cliff in like a week.
