To consume food you must: Decide what to eat Purchase the food Prepare the food eat the food Clean up All that combined with a habit of sleeping through every available moment before rushing off to the train in the morning meant that I was often skipping breakfast or eating something silly like a handful of crackers while trying to run. Taking all of those steps out of my morning was worth it for me. In that way, it's pretty similar to fast food, but it's much easier than actually swinging by Dunks. I think it also helps as a way of conceptualizing food and convincing yourself viscerally that you won't starve if you control your portions. Finally, I can be a picky eater sometimes and having it as an option means I'm never faced with having to starve or compromise on food choices.
