Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so still learning what my staples are. But eggs, strawberries, and grapes have become a pretty regular eat.

Rice.

...multi-whole-grain sourdough and way more dairy than i should be eating...

beans and rice.

Red lentil, yellow lentil, black lentil, urad lentil, chick peas (white and black), kidney beans, rice, tofu, potatoes, canned tomatoes, coconut cream and prefried dried crispy onions. With those I can make a large variety of foods and sauces. Usually just adding some other veg like peppers, carrots, leaks, etc

Edit: I forgot to list Tamari and Marmite. Good for various things, but combine those in proper proportion withan fried onion base and a flour roux, you have a beefy stew base or brown gravy

Rice and eggs, depending on how tight money is sometimes I go for months on just egg fried rice

No love for eggs?

Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell

EGG.

(-protein has one of the highest bio available properties and I think most, if not all trace nutrients essential for human body excluding vitamin C)

Eating EGGs plus a vitamin c source is very fucking healthy.

Beans and grains! Usually a combo of brown rice, oats, and other whole grains. I also top with some form of hot sauce, fermented vegetables, onion, and seeds for extra nutrition. Basically my daily lunch.

I drink an espresso in the morning, and then coffee or tea throughout the day, and usually a green smoothie of some sort and fruits for snacks.

Dinner varies frequently.

Egg. Salad greens. Tofu. Whiskey.

Staples

Rice and some curry which maybe vegetable of fish

Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I've been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn't work perfectly but I've made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I'd highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I've become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

Chickpeas, tofu and chicken are often recurring on our cooking, along with rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

When eating out my go-to is falafel, with a few different chicken options as second choice.

Sweet potato, black beans, and peanutbutter (not together lol)

Rice

My partner is a chef and fermenter, so it's really hard to keep a food routine because she endlessly chases novelty. That said, when the need for novelty is low, we split evenly between rice, pasta and potatoes for carbs (she's Chinese, I'm Italian, we live in Germany so...). Proteins are eggs and tofu as staple. White beans and chickpeas are less common. A rotation of different cuts of meat on top. Fish here is expensive and bad, but we always have a can of sardines or tuna. Often we buy a whole chicken for the week to do a roast, a fried rice and a pot of stock for the week. Vegetables and fruit are the things we rotate the most because they are all equally bad.

Bread

Eggs and ground moose.

So many potatoes

I make Vegan Bolognese almost every week, and I make a lot of it so it lasts for several days. I just never get tired of it, and it's easy to mix it up with different ingredients and spices.
There's also a really good frozen Pyttipanna that I mix with frozen peas and corn, 10 minutes in an air fryer and then mix in a bit of butter, fresh cracked pepper and either ketchup or a sauce like kebab sauce or garlic sauce.

Apples

Noodles and potatoes.

black beans, chickpeas, cornmeal, eggs, bread

Coffee and tacos.

My crockpot pretty much always has some chicken soup. Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, celery, and chicken breast. I eat this a lot for lunch, especially at work in a to go container.

I also eat a smoothie pretty much every day, which I call my fruit soup. Fresh apples and bananas, some frozen fruit usually berries mangoes or peaches, fresh greens either spinach or kale, honey, mushroom blend powder, beetroot powder, turmeric powder, vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powder, Greek style yogurt, and probiotic kefir. I make a blenderfull and fill three or four shaker bottles, they last as long as I dont skip days.

I dont always eat breakfast but usually oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar or cold cereal. Sometimes just a banana or a muffin.

Sandwiches, I always have bread and meat and cheese and mustard and mayo and almond butter and jelly. And lately frozen sausage patties, sometimes for breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I just eat sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, unwiches.

Sheperds pie casserole. I always have a box or two of instant potato flakes, some canned veggies, and frozen beef. Layer of potatoes, browned meat, canned veggies (I like corn green beans and saurkraut) and sometimes cheese, then another layer of potato, throw it in the oven. I buy plain potato flakes and season them myself. It's all non perishable and quick, easy and hearty.

This and a variety of burritos from the place near my work (when my boss is buying) is probably 90% of what I eat.

Breakfast every day is oatmeal over frozen berries, sweetened with honey.

Lunch every day is rice and black eyed peas.

Cheese pizza is my most eaten food this year. Second, bologna sandwiches.

I also drink tons of Arizona green tea and Half&half.

If I'm just going to cook 1 meal, I'll usually make cheese tortellini with garlic bread. Sometimes pot stickers.
If i'm going to make a batch of something for multiple meals, it's usually burritos, sometimes drunken noodles, sometimes fried rice.
Once or twice a year I'll make a big pot of chili with cornbread, get a dozen or so meals out of it.

Eggs, cheese (mostly cottage), beans, greek yogurt (store bought or homemade), tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, sardines and whatever veggies and fruits are on sale. Same for meat, poultry or fish except the inside organs. For carbs I use corn tortillas and quinoa sparingly because I have to watch glycemic index. For snacks I like popcorn, hummus, pita chips. These are also limited.

I eat a lot of granola, limited mostly by what my system can handle. Bread (wheat) is also pretty high up, probably followed by beans and meat substitutes.

Fries/chips, ideally covered in sauce and battered.

I also really love rice, eggs and pasta! 🍝

Lamb's lettuce…it goes with anything.

tea, eggs, liver, and the least expensive meat the butcher is selling this week (almost always a mince)

Rice, egg, and some processed meat like spam or sausage
