What is up guys, it is Bilal Dawson here and today I did something crazy. So, I tried to survive on only gas station food for an entire twenty four hours. I wanted to see if you can actually get full off this stuff without feeling sick and I tried everything from the hot snacks to the weird drinks.
Starting The Day With A Pre-Packaged Breakfast Sandwich
I grabbed a sausage and egg croissant that was sitting under the heat lamp and honestly it was not terrible but the bread was a little bit soggy from the steam. It cost way more than making it at home but it definitely woke me up with all that salt and grease right away.
The Coffee Selection Was A Huge Gamble
I went for a vanilla drink from the machine. It looked like thin milk and tasted way too sweet. I felt a quick boost of energy for a bit. Sadly I crashed hard an hour later because there was barely any actual coffee in that cup.
Trying To Find Fresh Fruit Was A Struggle
I searched everywhere for healthy snacks like apples or bananas but the fruit bin looked super old with brown marks everywhere. I grabbed a cup of fruit instead but the thick sugary juice inside made me think it was not even healthy for me anymore.
The Lunch Rush Brought Out The Roller Dogs
I grabbed a hot dog from the grill for lunch. I covered it in mustard and took a bite. It felt rubbery and quite strange. Still the taste was actually pretty good considering it was spinning there for who knows how long today.
Snacking On Beef Jerky Is Very Expensive
I needed a snack in the afternoon so I grabbed a bag of beef jerky because you guys know I am a meat lover but the price was absolutely insane for such a small bag. It tasted good and salty but I realized you really pay a premium for convenience when you are shopping at a gas station.
The Drink Options Are Mostly Just Sugar
I went in for water but grabbed colorful energy drinks instead. I had way more sugar than I ever do. My head began hurting later on. I think it was because I was dehydrated from all that soda I chose to drink today for sure.
Dinner Required Getting A Little Creative
Getting dinner ready was a challenge so I got creative. I used the coffee machine hot water to make spicy noodles. Adding some crushed chips gave it a great crunch. It was my favorite part of the day because it was hot and filling.
My Stomach Started Regretting My Choices
When night came my stomach was noisy and felt super bloated. I had so much salt throughout the day. You do not truly realize how much sodium is in all those processed items until you eat them for every single meal back to back.
The Late Night Cravings Hit Different
I bought chocolate and ice cream as a late snack. It tasted great but I felt so tired before bed. It is very easy to grab snacks when they are right there in front of you looking so very colorful and also really quite tempting.
Final Verdict On The Gas Station Diet
Eating gas station food all day was a big mistake. My stomach was upset and I noticed it got expensive fast. A quick snack is fine when you are driving but honestly do not try to make this your main diet every single day, man.
