One of the enjoyable things about surfing is when you find there are other people like you.

Almost every day since the mid-80's, I have what I call a Tarnower lunch: half a can of pineapple chunks, half a can of mandarin oranges, a dollop of cottage cheese and a few walnut pieces, along with a small bran muffin. Tastes fine, not too bad nutritionally, and no congnitive overhead.

Sounds like a ton of sugar and carbs to me with barely any protein...

Nuts & cheese contain protein. And whole pineapple chunks is not "just sugar", I thought it was pretty well established that whole fruit is not comparable to soda. Although I guess in fairness depending on the can you buy, some have a fair amount of added sugar in the form of juices & syrups.

I buy bags of frozen fruit pieces. One advantage is that you get just the fruit with no juice or syrup, and I think frozen fruits and vegetables taste better than their canned counterparts anyway.

canned fruit can have a lot of added sugar though

I couldn't say what the numbers are, although the fruit cans say "is in its own juice" and I think cottage cheese has protien, for what that is worth. But I enjoy it, which is important too.

Sugar from fruit is a world of difference from sugar in processed foods.

... Throw it all in a blender with a can of Albecore tuna, some Vanilla flavored Soy milk and you got yourself decent breakfast or even a pre-workout drink!

Tuna shake, baby!

Tuna shakes were a meme from the old misc.fitness.weights days. I was never sure whether anyone actually drank them regularly, or just said they did because it sounded hardcore.

Is there something surfing specific to that meal choice or otherwise nutritionally useful for the activity? Or just the pleasantness of random taste profile aligning with someone else’s?

And what do you do with the other half of the can of pineapples?

I am guessing gp meant "surfing" as in the internet, not waves.
Re:People Who Eat the Same Meal Every Day by jimhefferon on Friday March 08, 2019 @12:12PM (#19339521)
I meant that surfing the interwebs sometimes turns up things that are pleasant.

And, finding that other people do something that my wife regards as a bit odd.

As to the other half can, I eat iton the next day.

Ha! When I read your comment I imagined a wonderful life that involved surfing (on the beach) every day for the past thirty years and eventually meeting a friendly community of fellow surfers that liked canned pipeapple.

That breakfast wouldn't last you through a multi hour surf session.

I'd bonk on that after half an hour.

I think oatmeal would work better for actual surfing.

Perhaps this is "surfing" the web?
