Discussion What are some of the worst food you ate while at your lowest point?

[KleinerWolf]

I'm currently eating a packet of 100gm grated cheddar cheese with beer.
Last time I had food was on Tuesday ordered two pizza.

My previous lowest points many months ago, I ate canned tuna with cold bread.

What are some of the worst food you ate while at your lowest point?

Pies. Who ate all the pies? Me.

When homeless I ate cold pop top canned ravioli with a plastic spoon and stale bread...I'm ashamed to say I stole it but it was 50 cents and I was starving

other times I ate:
-An entire box of snack cakes
- entire box of donuts
- ramen....lots of ramen because it cheap
- alcohol was my meal one time

everything i eat is "the worst"

I'm a slave to everything sugary. It wasn't quite my lowest point, but in my mid 20's I drank about 20 beers and ate a whole chocolate cake. Keep in mind I weigh a little more than a fart in the wind, so the natural conclusion was that I passed out and then threw up the entirety of the cake all over my wall. It was as gross as it sounds.

For the past couple months I've been eating lots of pies, cakes, pudding, cookies, chocolate, gummy bears, and other sweets. I've also been drinking lots of chai and lattes. I tried to stop, but now I figure I'll be gone soon so what does it matter?

A pork chop I found in a friend's fridge.
It was too old, should have been thrown away, but I was hungry. Hadn't eaten in days. It made me very sick. I thought I was going to die.

I like to eat lots of ice cream and/or frozen yogurt. I also tend to eat lots of McDonald's whenever I'm depressed because I like to eat something that's as garbage as I feel sometimes. When I'm really deep in a pit of despair though, I go for my favorite food Hawaiian poke.

I've been eating Poke every time I've gone out for the past two weeks...

Once had a tin of pineapple for dinner, no joke

 

[GrumpyFrog]

I've repeatedly are scraps my students didn't finish and left on the tables in the dining room. Once I ate a slice of pizza that was left laying on a table for over 24 hours. Not proud of it, being poor sucks.

 

[karaboudjan]

Cheese and starchy foods like pasta. Mac and cheese is my go-to comfort food.

 

[XYZ]

My "worst" is generally pretty unimaginative stuff like pizza or ice cream.

It has fruit in it, so it's basically super healthy

Do you want some pie with that?

My worst was damn good, but Jaffa cakes. The whole box for dinner. At 4am. No regrets.

There is literally never the wrong time to have a Jaffe cake.

 

[Rue89]

Another food I can now add to my long list: biscuits and gravy.

 

[pickajack]

Been eating loads of instant mashed potatoes. So easy, so cheap, so comforting :)

Oh yeah, I resorted to that the other night when I realized I forgot to figure out food. It was a disappointing flavor, though. But I also ate a can of cold green beans, so that made it count. LOL


I miss feeling like cooking real meals. And having energy to bother.

 

[GrumpyFrog]

If that will make y'all feel better, I've never cooked a "real meal" in my life and haven't ate one in years unless you count scrambled eggs and stuff like that. I live off instant noodles/potatoes/oatmeal, sandwiches and random crap out of a can since 2018.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I just ate a whole bag of flaming hot Cheetos at the middle of the night...

 

[NightmareTour]

-4 months on nothing but instant noodles and bread
-The pot of pasta I made where the sauce was just tinned tomatoes, tinned peas, tinned carrots and tinned corn (spoiler: it was awful)
-Baked beans with a ton of cheese mixed in as a treat
-Just plain slices of bread
-Bread with soy sauce on it

That was my attitude when I was eating a lot of cakes. I haven't died yet, and instead got fatter and uglier

 

[Symbiote]

Arby sauce packets. Shit was good, I don't care who says they aren't

 

[Just Breathe]

You know those $1 Totinos pizzas? I ate 2 a day for 3 weeks until I got my first paycheck.
When I got my paycheck, I still ate one, as it was all I had, but I got good and drunk first and burned the shit out of the roof of my mouth!

 

[BitterlyAlive]

• Cold chicken nuggets - the microwave didn't heat them properly and I didn't bother to try reheating them.
• Cold green beans out of a can
• Two slices of Kraft cheese for breakfast

Doesn't sound awful at all, I'd love to try it.

Bread with soy sauce on it

Oh yeah, I've ate a plenty of that too.

 

[Moon Flower]

Just an uncooked block of spam with my hands over the sink

 

[WaitingWesting]

[Lilacmoon]

When my father died at age 14 i was left to my own devices in a forclosing house with no water or eletricity or food. I used the neighbors hose for water and i found a box of spagetti noodles the gas was still on and i was able too cook them i ate them plain and it was like thanksgiving. I still eat noodles out of the pot like that when spagetti is made. I will never forget how humbling that was.
