Do People Still Eat 3 Meals a Day?

Remember when breakfast was a thing? Like… eggs, toast, maybe even a side of fruit?
Now it’s mostly iced coffee, a rogue handful of Goldfish crackers, and the pure adrenaline of realizing you’re late (again).

Lunch? That’s just when you wander into the kitchen, stand in front of the fridge like it’s a vending machine, and maybe forget what you were looking for in the first place.

And dinner? Some days it’s a proper meal. Other days, it’s popcorn at 9PM and convincing yourself that counts as corn.

Somewhere along the way, the structured three-meals-a-day plan got replaced by “grab whatever, whenever” — usually with a caffeine chaser. And honestly? No shame. We’re all out here doing our best.

There’s something oddly comforting about knowing your go-to coffee order better than your own grocery list. Stress and iced coffee might not be a balanced diet, but it’s certainly a relatable one.

So if today’s meal plan looks like:

• Breakfast: iced coffee

• Lunch: questionable granola bar

• Dinner: exhaustion

Just know… you’re not alone.
We’ll eat real food tomorrow. Probably.
