Coffee, water and bread
I eat like I'm in an apocalypse survival game. What did my survivor find to eat today? Ooh, root beer and string cheese.
Cheese. I'm pretty sure I never go a day without eating some cheese. Cheese is the best.
Breakfast on weekdays is peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.
Throughout the day I drink water flavoured by raspberries and blueberries.
Dinner (or lunch to the rest of the English speaking world, I'm from northern England) is a chickpea and mixed vegetable salad I prep for the week on Sunday.
Tea (main evening meal) is normally a pie or something breaded like a Kiev or fish served with chips (chunky fries) and mixed frozen vegetables. Then Greek yoghurt with mashed frozen raspberries and blueberries for dessert.
As a snack most days some digestive biscuits with a cup of tea (what's normally called breakfast tea).
Saturdays I skip breakfast and have a bacon sandwich for dinner.
Once a month I order a huge calzone for tea on a Saturday (my local takeaway calls it the Monster, it has every kind of meat they serve in it) which I dunk in mayonnaise and pig out on whilst drinking a Doombar. Then I have another Doombar whilst smoking a cigar afterwards. Normally there's enough calzone left for food the following day.
This... what?
I've never heard of these Northern English pecularities. Fascinating.
Breakfast is almost ALWAYS toast with crunchy peanut butter and honey on it.
Ooh, gonna have to try that. I just do peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.

For some reason I can’t eat peanut butter in the morning, it’s weird. I’ve tried, and it makes me gag. But I LOVE peanut butter in general, and crunchy with honey is my favorite. If I’m feeling extra special I’ll add some salted butter…
Unsweetened Greek yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast or a bagel and a hard boiled egg
Lunch: whatever leftovers I packed from dinner yesterday
Dinner: tacos, pasta, burgers, steak, sandwiches, wraps, or if I’m feeling lazy a bagel and cream cheese
What I can
I prefer to eat freshly cooked What I, but the canned ones are pretty good as well

At 8 o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 2 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 4 o’clock, just before I train, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. I’ll train and I’ll have me fish and I’ll come home, have some more fish with a rice cake and then have some fish before I go to bed and that’s it for the day.

Breakfast: Black tea with oat milk, oatmeal with peanut butter blueberries, and a touch of cinnamon and sugar.
Lunch: water, and a bunch of frozen fried garbage that I tossed in the oven and smothered in ketchup and ranch dressing.
Dinner: water, a microwave rice and lentil packet, and all the following separately sauteed, seasoned, then combined: lions mane mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. Produce was from farmers market except tomatoes from my garden.
Lentils and rice are so easy and so much better on the stove. I get it if it’s too much hassle, but you’re already going to so much trouble. I tend to cook for a few meals at once, so I’ll do a cup of rice, two chopped up carrots, vegetable bouillon, and all the necessary water, then after that’s cooked for ten minutes, I’ll add the lentils, and cook until they’re done. Check cook times to get the timing right.
The carrot is there because it makes an enormous difference for lentils- lentils need carrots like pasta needs salt.

Tea (either black tea or some native herbal tea) and wholemeal cookies, sometimes sandwiches with sausage or peanut butter or sweet equivalent, pasta with minced pork and ketchup, etc.
How does your native tea taste?
Well, we have mint, fireweed (Ivan-chai) and many other I don't know. Mint tea is ubiquitous all around the world. Fireweed tea (Gauromečio arbata) has quite an interesting taste and smell. If you tried to taste raw Chinese green tea leaves (before preparation of tea), it has a similar taste. Nowadays, in the shop, a wide variety of different herbal mixes is sold. We didn't have any caffeinated drinks until 1990s.
An interesting drink is 'acorn coffee' which is set into the National Registry but I never tried that one.
And also we have berry-based hot drinks served as 'tea', most notably buckthorn tea.
There will always be cheese on my toasts for breakfast. If there isn't, it's because I'm eating a grilled cheese sandwich instead.

I'm part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I'm eating very seasonally lately and it's nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I'm excited!
A homemade sandwich with a glass of water.
I get to work and make myself a toasted bagel sandwich with jam and vegan cream cheese. I also make a flask of earl grey tea with a teaspoon of sugar. Lunch is often a veggie burrito. Dinner depends. Usually stew or curry or stir fry.

Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?
All the cheese people I'm guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.

Mostly rice and products with cooked vegetables. I drink only water.
Breakfast: Müsli or bread with Nutella, oatmilk
