What I remember as an analyst was ppl getting cheap pasta / chicken parm x2 so that they had one for dinner and the other for lunch. You can do this for any number of cuisines like Thai, Chinese, American etc. but gotta make sure you focus on getting the cleanest possible food if you're trying to bulk and not become a grotesque figurine made of unhealthy seamless orders.
