Breakfast: Winter is coming so some oat porridge is nice - porridge takes only the amount of time to boil some water then pour water over the oats for 2-3 minutes, super convenient and super light yet filling. Add milk, condiments, etc.
Lunch: Most often something from a restaurant in the park I'm based in. If time is no issue 1-2 hours shared with a former colleague to catch-up, thoroughly nice and heartwarming; if only 30-60 minutes, the same food and source but take-out and eaten at desk. As I'm in northern China this is predominantly rice or wheat-noodle based. I tend to go for soupy noodles. If traveling and find a place with good bread I pounce on it, but there aren't where I'm usually based.
Afternoon: Some fruit: whatever's looking good and in-season in the local shop in the park or from visiting trucks.
Dinner: Depends on time. Like to do a good cook on the weekend and use some of that for convenience; a lot of comfort food especially bean-inspired,. Just variety from taste to ingredients: mix in a lot of stuff which isn't in a common (northern) Chinese diet (beans, nuts, cheese). If time is easy I'll buy a fish and/or some seafood and steam, stew or fry.
Drink: Water. Have always disliked coffee and never much into tea of any kind. Gin+tonic is good at any time and any place though leads to reduced capacity after consumption.
