    For me, I mostly have Ramen, but I would sometimes stop for some fast food.

    For me, when I am tired, the absolute last thing in the world I want to do is cook a meal. I don’t care for the truck smelling like a microwave either. My wife often sends food along. But I almost never eat 3 meals a day.

    You could say I "made" my own meals. Yes, I think you could say that.
