Between 2009 and 2018 I only ate Pizza every day

>>17630554
What kind

>>17630557
Dominoes mostly, sometimes Pizza hut. I only changed my diet when I found out uber eats existed and found out places other than Pizza could be delivered.

>>17630554
In 2012 I lived on frozen burger patties and hot dogs for 6 months or something like that. In 2015 I ate mostly ham on bread and peanuts.
Nowadays I eat pretty healthy. Mostly fish, pork, pasta, sometimes halloumi. A lot of onions, garlic, tomatoes. The most unhealthy thing I eat regularly is probably grilled cheese sandwiches.

>>17630560
How old are you? Have you left your home since 2009? What did you break your 9 year pizza fast with? Please say a McChicken.

>>17630584
30 and no I'm a shut in NEET and Yes Mcdonalds Junior chickens and Coffee

>>17630560
Jesus

How many large pizzas did you eat per day?

>>17630665
Just one

>>17630554
I've done that too, for like three years. Mostly Dr. Oetker frozen pizzas because I was spending all of my money on weed and beer.

>>17631006
Lab assistants can’t afford frozen pizza. They typically subsist off of discarded toenail clippings, onion skins, and pickle juice.

>>17630548
Lived off of Jacks pizza for about a year. Ate one a day, 2000 calories. Didn't have much spare cash.

>>17630554
lmao i lived on frozen pizzas for years when i was drinking everyday from the second i got up

Currently I mostly subsist on protein bars.

>>17630929
>spending all my money on beer and weed
>buys frozen pizza
So have you learned how to cook yet?

>>17631020
The joke is in DR oetker
bro

>>17630604
man idk why but I often long for NEET life. I was NEET for around 10 months and I was living my best life.

My daily routine for a while

>wake up around 10am
>smoke a spliff
>get either mcdonalds or culvers
>drink 1/3 of soda and fill back up with rum or whisky
>eat meal, watch futurama, and smoke another spliff
>take a nap on the couch
>wake up around 4pm shower and clean the house for like 30min
>GF gets home from her job and thanks me for doing all this work to get the house in order
>eat dinner
>get online to "look for jobs"
>play vidya until 3am
>doit again

>>17630604
You sir are beyond based.

>>17631140
i mean this seriously: could a naturally degenerate person be a NEET for an extended period?
having no/minimal responsibilities sounds incredible, and maybe i'd get up at 10am some days, but you lost me pretty quickly after that. i just feel that even if i were NEET i'd be doing lots of other things. I'd be in great shape, learn to cook better, read more, seduce more ladies, play more music, etc. not just get high and play vidya (disgusting).

>>17631166
*naturally NON-degenerate person
fuck

2 McDonalds meals 5-6 times a week (First normally a quarter pounder/breakfast roll meal with a white coffee, second a Big Tasty w/Bacon, cheese melts, a Millionaire Donut and an energy drink or root beer)

Dinner is normally either instant ramen with an egg in it if it's the brothy kind, a sandwich (ham, cheese, mustard, mayo and butter) or chilli/curry if I had time to make it that week, drunk down with a few ales and some of my own fermented alcohol.

On my day/days off I'll normally have a bowl or two of instant ramen with ale on the side, maybe a pub lunch if I'm feeling fancy (normally sausage chips and beans with leffe blonde from the local Wetherspoons since it's the cheapest meal they do with a drink), then either make a chilli for that night and to freeze or do a fry up

I also try to have a steak or two per month, since I like cooking them

>>17631026
Why on earth do you even post here then?

>>17631699
I'm not trying to sound racist, but UK McDonald's seems very strange

>>17631716
Mate I'll be honest I'm not sure the people on my island are even the same species as the rest of you anymore so I wouldn't worry. What sounded strange?

I used to /dishpit/ and one of my coworkers diet consisted of the following
>steakums and buttered macaroni
>waffle house cheese steaks
>white castle sliders
>sour candy
>bang energy
>fireball

His words, not mine

For the past 4 years I’ve ordered fast food almost every single night. I’m lucky I make good money. It’s usually my only meal of the day too

>>17631736
>sandwich called the Big Tasty
>something called cheese melts
>a doughnut at McDonalds
Truly strange

>>17631755
Wait, do you get this fast food delivered?

>>17631755
How much do you order?

>>17631166
probably, it's a really easy habit to fall into. Also tbf I had social obligations and didn't technically do this every single day. I'd have to show up to places where I was expected to be with family or friends. Sometimes I'd play music, or bike if it was nice out, but honestly it feels really good to do absolutely nothing.

Also it didn't start out completely NEET. In the beginning of my neetdom, I was taking some classes to learn how to code and trying to be productive. I refinished the hardwood floors in the place I was living at and got paid a bit by the landlord to do that and a couple other things. But then I kinda fell into a slump and just stopped doing much of anything living off of the small amount of investing I had done before I quit my job.

Had a great break, but eventually life started to catch up with me and I lucked into a job in supply chain. Then from there it's been non-stop for the past 6 years. I've accomplished a lot and love the life I have, but I'd be a liar if I say I didn't miss those days some times. Weird I know.

>>17631766
Yes
>>17631783
Usually about $25 worth, i alternate between Popeyes, a kebab place, Chinese, and Dunkin

>>17631736
>guy who eats McDonalds twice a day tries to judge others

>>17631763
Righto, so the Big Tasty is like our "filler" promo. Like we normally have different promotional burgers on throughout the year, I think last promo we had a BBQ Bacon Stack. Well the Big Tasty is our most frequently used Promo burger and normally comes up for a month and a half between different promotions. It's a 1/3rd beef patty, emmental cheese, lettuce, tomato, Big Tasty sauce which is nigh on the only reason to buy it and onion, on a 5-inch seeded bun. Honestly pretty nice, if I can't get that I'll normally have the current promo burger once and then go back to Quarter Pounders

The Cheese Melts are basically a side item, we always have at least some form of cheese side available, normally Mozarella Dippers but right now we've got Chilli Cheese Bites.

The Millionaire Donut is a part of our "McCafe" range, which near as I can tell was McDonalds trying to compete with coffee shops like Starbucks and Costa as far as speed, convenience and pricing, since McDonalds UK does not like sharing customer bases. Right now the McCafe dessert range includes the Millionaire Donut, Sugar Ring Donut, Chocolate Brownie and Triple Chocolate Cookie.

I'm on the island I'm calling out you twatwaffle

>>17631810
I have conducted a full investigation of the McDonald's UK menu

>Big Tasty
Seems like a good burger
>Cheese melts
The name doesn't make much sense, but they look like some sort of tasty fried cheese
>Creme egg McFlurry
Looks good, I wish we had that here
>Millionaire doughnut
I still don't understand it
>Porridge
Why wouldn't someone just make this at home?

So far today:

Breakfast - coffee, vyvanse, 4 cigarettes
Lunch - SeaPak calamari, 1.5L of inexpensive chardonnay.

Tentatively:
Dinner - Newman’s Own frozen pizza and Japanese beer.

based

>>17631854
hang about where are you getting porridge, that's been off our menu since the first lockdown. what lucky pricks are getting that?

millionaire donut is a caramel filled doughnut with chocolate glaze on top, drizzled with caramel and topped with crumbled shortbread. It's a riff on the caramel shortbread or "millionaire shortbread" normally found in bakeries and coffee shops, with the millionaire name comng from the idea of it being extremely decadent

>>17631810
McDonald’s in UK actually sounds infinitely more based than in America

Why do our own companies betray us like this?

>>17631914
It's just a slightly different market mate. McDonalds in america near as I can tell mainly only has to compete with other fast food places, so what it provides will general be in line with what other fast food places provide, which will naturally make it seem more standard and "basic".

McDonalds UK has to compete with less fast food chains, but also needs to compete with coffee shops, of which you will have multiple in each busy street, pubs which frequently have food (that sausage, chips, beans and a pint meal I mentioned in my first post only costs about 40p more than a standard McDonalds meal). So it's gonna look into a more interesting and changing burger range to keep punters interested as well as a more varied dessert range to net the market that wants a quick sweet bite with a coffee

>>17631884
>1.5L of wine for lunch

I broke the minifridge I had in this awful illegally subdivided place I was renting trying to chip ice off it, and ended up living with no refrigeration for months, I would buy the cheapest ham at the store, single slices, and milk and put them under my bed so they weren't in the sun from the window and just live on that eating it basically as it went bad. I wouldn't recommend most people try that but I've developed a strong stomach from years of dumb situations like this and also just not wanting to waste food

>>17631150
4chan moment

>>17630548
I don't know if this counts but I use to make little peanut butter sandwiches with saltine crackers and fill a whole tupperware container with these sandwiches and eat probably hundreds of them in a week. The sweetness of the peanut butter and the saltiness of the crackers were god tier but I felt like a disgusting pig

>>17630548
Yesterday I ate a cheese and pepper omlet with a side of chorizo for breakfast and chili dogs topped with sharp cheddar for dinner. The chili was of the Yankee bean stew variety, tomato based, loaded with jalapeños and onions, and contained no meat. The hot dogs were zweigles white hots.

>>17630548
I spent the summer of 2011 living on dollar store frozen pizzas, dollar store Kool aid equivalent, and ice pops (name brand)
I was big into spice, which is an artificial marijuana, this was pre legalization. It's pretty fucked up stuff, it did some permanent damage.
My shit was literally bright blue from all the artificial shit i was eating

>>17632053
someone post it...

>>17632119
I remember buying spice from the local sex shop and then spending all my money on 7-11 taquitos. Good times

>>17631891
Did you drink the wine straight out of the bottle or did you use a glass?

>>17631905
>hang about where are you getting porridge, that's been off our menu since the first lockdown. what lucky pricks are getting that?
It's listed on the McDonald's UK website as available in some locations
