    You don't cook at all? Or someone else cooks for you? I absolutely despise cooking so your list is intriguing to me.

    Correct, I don't cook at all. Not to say I don't know how to cook anything, I just don't do it. I've lived in my apartment for 2 years and never turned on the oven. I've used the stove a couple times to heat up some frozen broccoli. I use the microwave to nuke pre-cooked frozen chicken.

    I eat breakfast at home - Clif Builder bar, apple, beef jerky/chicken

    I buy a protein shake at my gym after my workout - almond milk, berries, protein powder

    I go to Whole Foods everyday for lunch from their hot bar - some sort of veg (broccoli, mushrooms, onion, carrots, brussel sprouts) with some sort of meat, sometimes a bit of sweet potato or regular potato, sometimes some soup

    Sometimes I just eat a protein bar for dinner. Or, just drink a bunch of beer. Or my boyfriend and i will go out to eat and I usually get chicken or steak and some sort of vegetable. Or, I just skip it and wait for breakfast.

    It's not the most cost effective, but it works.

    The things I eat often are not needing purchased every week. From milk powder purchased every 10 months to bananas purchased every week, the things I use frequently are purchased at irregular intervals. That's ok, as the grocery is less than 1 mile from my house.
