been living in my car a few weeks now and this is what i've been eating. got a 12v water boiler in the mail yesterday tho so i can add instant noodles, couscous, and instant potatoes to the rotation 😃
last pic is when i rented a motel 6 to do my hair (cut n color it myself) and they had a microwave so i got to make mi goreng. unfortunately no lampshades

Looks good though, sorry that you’re in that situation
Hope you get on your feet soon!
I’m sorry you’re going through this and I hope your situation improves soon bud. You seem like you still have a positive outlook so keep that up!
Stupid of me to say but I wanna eat most of that food you got there 😅
Getting one of those waffle machines with removable plates is awesome too! Hot sandwiches, eggs, and many other things when you swap out the plates. You can find them at goodwill
Sir I have a home and this is how I eat anyway. It looks good to me 🙂
At least you are making some healthier choices!
Keep that near and dear
I hope you find a place to stay soon! And that food looks really good, and healthy too
Is that falafel in the 6th picture?
Hope you’re doing well, friend 🧡 love those sparkling juices. You should try the sparkling pear cider next!
Doing damn well for someone in your sitch.
Honestly not bad at all! Id be happy to eat that too. When I was homeless I ate exclusively gas station snacks and mcdonalds😅
I mean hey, you have a car to stay dry/warm in and looks like you’re eating well. It could always be worse. Reminds me of when my family kicked me out. I lived out of my car for a long while till I figured things out.
Mi goreng is a lifesaver. Comes out great with a microwave.
Looks like you managed to swing some real food though! Fresh fruit and salmon spread and peanut butter, hell yeah. Clearly you are resilient. Sending good mojo to you
These look like really well balanced meals! I hope things get better for you soon, but in the meantime it seems like you are taking the best care of yourself that you can.
Get anything portable that can heat food. Any sort of toastie maker etc.
Having warm food after a long day will massively improve your mood.
Sorry for your situation. It must be stressful and difficult. Wishing you luck that youll find somewhere to call your own 🙂 my favourite meal was the crackers and smoked salmom dip. I would totally eat that.
You need a pizza? I can order one for pickup
Good luck fellow Redditor, hopefully you get back on your feet soon. Sending lots of love !❤️
Crackers and Tuna, PB and Apple? Those are great choices. Not shitty at all. 🙂
❤️
Hey, looks like you’re making sure you eat well enough even being in that situation and powering through. Nothing wrong with the spread imo, it looks pretty much like what you’d see in my hurricane prep box. I hope things take a better turn for you soon.
Sorry ur in that situation but hey, I feel like ur eating healthier than average housed person
I hope it’ll get better for you soon 🙏
I was there in my early 20s… survived off peanut butter and ritz crackers from the church pantry….Wishing the best for you I hope you always have a full tummy 🫶🏽
I eat like this and I’m not homeless. I think you’re doing well for not having a kitchen.
Sometimes we can’t escape circumstances, but it looks like you’re making good choices with what you have. I’m proud of you for staying positive.
Reddit gets a bad rap, like we’re all judgemental assholes, but we’re all human, and most of us are good. If you need help, you have a community here, we’ll step up.
Stay warm and safe.
Mi Goreng is the shit 🤌🏻
didnt expect this post to blow up so fast lol
thanks for the well wishes, i have a job a car and donate plasma and go to the food bank so i dont need anything, and remember to block the haters 🫡
If you know anyone in agriculture. And have an IQ in the double didgets. There’s lots of farmers who would rent you a room if you helped them keep up with chores/ clean the barn this winter. That’s my situation. I plow and keep the 20 acers looking spiffy. And I get the single wide out back. And if your afraid they will say no. They won’t. We are all doing 3 mens jobs in agriculture.
If you need more tips on how to make it look shitter but probably taste different feel free to visit the backpacking or backcountry subs and threads for shelf stable meals.
Baby bells hold surprisingly well
PB&J, Mixed nuts, root veggies, beans, and (if I’m feeling luxurious) pork were my go-tos. Cheap, filling, yummy and varied enough to keep you happy 🙂 Best of luck friend! Hmu if you need someone to chat with or a helping hand
Sorry OP. Can I say for someone who is living out of their car, yours looks immaculate. Putting me to shame.
Looks like you’re making the best out of what you have available. Also great choices. I really hope you get a lucky streak that lasts forever soon.
As a pregnant lady this all looks phenomenal. Especially the sparking grape juice bc I can’t have wine
