Bernard O'Shea — The Dad Bod Diaries: The food log of a hungry but health-conscious man

In the latest chapter of his Dad Bod Diaries, Bernard O'Shea tracks a full day of his eating, his attitude to eating... and thinking about eating

'With my lunch, I have a handful of crisps that I don’t initially acknowledge as part of the meal, which is something I do with crisps — if I don’t name them, they don’t fully exist.'

8.30am: I don’t think about breakfast in any structured, adult way—  I think about toast, specifically two slices of white toast browned properly.

I briefly consider eggs because eggs are what a man who has his life together might have, but I immediately dismiss them on the grounds they require attention and I don’t want to monitor anything at that hour, I want food that happens to me.
