Let's begin with a definition. The main meal is the principal meal of the day, not necessarily eaten in the evening (as dinner). If I eat a small bowl of cereals for breakfast, pasta for lunch, and a piece of bread and cheese for dinner, pasta will be the main meal of the day.
Every fifth main meal was a meal primarily made of noodles (simply all kinds of noodles, pasta, ramen, etc.). Other staples were döner, pizza, salat, and curry.
Eating meat is not a good choice. A main meal qualifies as meat if it contains meat. It's that simple. Meat doesn't need to be the main ingredient of the meal. If it's a Big Salat and there's a small piece of chicken in it, it's meat. Veggie is everything non-meat.
Exactly 25 % of my main meals contained meat. I ate 91 main meals of meat and 273 main meals completely veggie. Distribution of meat and veggie overall:
Sunday is meat day. I consumed most meat on the weekends. Distribution of meat and veggie per week day:
Hey, look at that! I didn't eat any meat in week 14, week 24, week 29, week 31 and week 44. Week 19 was pretty bad though. Distribution of meat and veggie per calendar week:
A main meal qualifies as takeaway if it is prepared or cooked by others and ready for consumption. It is ready-made if it's prepared by others, does not need additional ingredients, but needs to be cooked or otherwise prepared for consumption by myself. It is home-made if at least two ingredients or components need to be combined, cooked or otherwise prepared for consumption by myself.
Exactly 50 % of my main meals were takeaways. Only every fifth main meal was home-made. Distribution of takeaway, ready-made and home-made overall:
Sunday is lazy day. A whopping 75 % of the main meals on sundays were ready-made. At least half of the main meals on saturdays were home-made. Distribution of takeaway, ready-made and home-made per week day:
Due to COVID-19 measures I spent week 12 to week 23 at home. Takeaway meals were reduced to a minimum, and I tried to cook for myself. It tasted terrible, and I had not cooked any meal from week 23 to week 29 as a consequence. Distribution of takeaway, ready-made and home-made per calendar week:
