Food is a very important part of being healthy, it keeps up your energy and helps you work better, and so I wanted to see what other people at Nova eat regularly. This is what I’ve found for a small collection of the students and staff here at Nova.
Then there’s the dinner diet, which varies considerably. For example, Christina has a wide range of what she has for dinner: sometimes she makes big soups that last her the whole week, and when her husband cooks they sometimes have a meal of fish, rice, vegetables, and salad with a glass of wine. Karen has some sort of protein with mixed greens and lentils usually. Ellen often has a fish burger. Then there’s Sierra, Gabby, and Cherise, who all eat pasta a lot. Of course they eat different things. Sierra also eats turkey loaf, brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes. Gabby eats chicken and microwavable ramen as well, and Cherise eats pizza as another option.
Finally, there are snacks. Those tend to vary a lot more since snack foods can change a lot. Christina will often times have a latte, carrots with dip, edamame beans, tara chips with salsa, pears, or a cup of tea. Sierra will just eat potato chips. Then there’s Cherise who likes to eat chips and pocky; Karen who’ll eat fruit or licorice; Gabby who likes to eat eggs and toast; and Ellen who’ll eat a sandwich or symphony bars.
What I’ve gathered from these interviews is that all Nova students have a different diet. I was surprised to hear from the six people I interviewed how different their eating habits are and also what foods they have in common.
