When I was in my 20's I lived on coffee, beer and potato chips. I had coffee all day (worked at the Pentagon) and then the beer and potato chips for "dinner" and to make it so I could get to sleep after all that caffeine! I couldn't afford to buy much food, it was when credit cards were just coming out/new and they had to physically call on the phone to get approval and liquor stores and restaurants didn't always do that right away. Grocery stores didn't use credit cards yet either so I was limited as to where I could get "food"

Also before the big anorexia/bulimia increase, they were "new" too, Karen Carpenter was still alive and performing, etc. The big thing/what one of my therapists was worried about was low blood sugar.

There's a book I really like, that I got from around that period, Nourishing Wisdom, by Marc David: http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Wis...dp/0517881292/ Maybe you would find it helpful too.
