After all, one can only live off Beer for so long…I lasted for about 2 days.

Spaghetti

Though the traditional method of eating spaghetti in Italy is to use just a fork and twist it so that the spaghetti wraps around the fork, bachelors around the world still consider it a sentimental pastime to take the end of a noodle and slurp it up
Weird: The parody religion Pastafarianism holds that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Bacon

Many people prefer to have bacon smoked using various types of woods or turf. This process can take up to ten hours depending on the intensity of the flavor desired. Bachelors prefer the microwave as it is much faster and there is no stupid pan to clean afterwards.
Interesting: On 04-17-2007 Columbia University released a study to the BBC stating that Too much bacon ‘bad for lungs’.

Pizza

With so many options like New York-style, Chicago-style, and California-style pizza, you can basically cover all your major food groups in 1 slice. I prefer larger slices to get the highest nutrition available from my pizza.
Awesome: The Big One is a 150-cut, 53 1/2-inch, $99.99 pizza from Mama Lena’s.

Steak

Steak is probably the most manly statement of bachelorhood one can achieve. One thing you must be aware of when firing up the grill is that you will not remain a bachelor for long. Most women are attracted to us guys who can handle the grill and they can’t wait to taste the juicy beef you are cookin’.
Interesting fact: In Italy, steak was not widely eaten until post-WWII due to the relative ruggedness of the countryside inhibiting the space and the amount of resources herds used.

Grilled Cheese

This obviously male achievement of perfection can only be described with one word, AMAZING. Grilled cheese is perfect for a quick snack, or those times when your obviously bachelor nature has rendered you broke due to purchasing large quantities of beer the previous evening. To make it even better try it with some tomato soup.

Nachos

This has to be one of the best foods for us bachelors. With very little effort you can easily satisfy the biggest hunger. The least expensive method is the classic, chips and cheese only. If you want to go crazy I suggest you top it with some black beans, and fajita meat for added tastiness.
Roadtrip: The International Nacho Festival.

Macaroni and Cheese

Noodles, cheese, and some butter. What other explanation is needed? Oh ya, less than .50 cents a box. Most bachelors find it better to add bacon or tuna for some additional protein and flavor.
Knowledge: More than two million boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese are sold every day.

Eggs

Eggs are high in protein, cheap, and can give you a quick boost after a workout. There are many ways to cook eggs but bachelors prefer to drink them straight from a glass to prove how hardcore they are.
Interesting: Amazing Egg Facts you probably didn’t know.

Hamburger Helper

There are so many good things to say about this genius food I could fill this entire page. I will suggest one addition to this for you other bachelors out there… substitute the boring hamburger for small cuts of steak for a truly rewarding food experience. You will never go back to ground chuck again.

Hot Pockets

Nobody can explain Hot Pockets better than Jim Gaffigan. A warning to bachelors..bring plenty of TP for the after effects a few hours later. Especially from the ones with sausage.

This concludes the list of most of the stuff I have eaten through my bachelor life. Somewhere inbetween the beef and beer a few greens get thrown in the mix (it helps to decrease bathroom time).

If you have any suggestions for more superior bachelor foods let me know.
