What I Eat by Matt on March 6, 2009

I have tried to maintain a strictly healthy diet during this adventure, avoiding fast food and concentrated sugar – foods that make me tired and easily frustrated. The only way I’ve survived off the number of hours I’m sleeping is because of my diet, which is admittedly not appetizing but nonetheless, highly functional. Here’s my favorite…

Mochi balls (rice beaten, mashed, made into a sticky dough, and steamed) dipped in a mix of kinako (a common powder high in protein) and fiber. Mochi gives calories, kinako gives protein, and fiber gives, well, fiber. It’s only about 120 Yen and it only involves me carrying around the powder mix. Simple, easy, effective.

    Hey Matt ;) I realize the idea is for you guys to survive on your own out there, but I bet there are a bunch of us viewers back here in the cushy west who by now are _itching_ to donate 50 or 100 bucks to the “buy the boys a decent meal/evening/hooker in Tokyo” foundation… So when are you going to add that Donate button? (ideally it would come with an option to earmark one’s donation to ‘room&board’, ‘fun experiences’, ‘getting heroically drunk’, or ‘all of the above’ ;) )

    Hey Jens – what a great idea! Other people funding us not being homeless?!? I think something’s in the works, and your suggestions definitely got our mental gears turning. We’ll get back to you shortly…
