  • (upbeat music)

  • - My name is Matt.

  • I've been out of college for seven years.

  • And one of the main things I've noticed

  • is how much more money I spend on food today

  • than when I was in school.

  • I don't have the strict tight budget

  • that I had in college.

  • I went from ordering 5-5-5 deals

  • to probably spending most of my money on meals.

  • And so I've wanted to revert back to square one,

  • and that's college.

  • (cheerful jazz music)

  • Three for a dollar.

  • Even though I ate like such shit,

  • I just want to see how eating like that again

  • would affect my day to day life

  • because I gained 35 pounds my senior year of college

  • from eating this exact type of stuff.

  • Part of me's kind of looking forward to this.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Just finished my softball game

  • and literally all I wanna do is

  • Seamless some food right now, but...

  • College diet.

  • (pot banging)

  • Cheesy delicious magic.

  • - (Voicover) Ew.

  • Ugh.

  • I'm actually going to

  • employ a little trick I did in college.

  • I heated my food up with a blow dryer.

  • (blow dryer whirring)

  • So a cup of noodles is still

  • quite actually delicious.

  • But the whole time I was eating,

  • I was wondering

  • why does this not seem healthy?

  • And then I checked out the nutrition facts.

  • I just had 50% my daily value of sodium.

  • This is also gonna be my dinner.

  • I was actually thinking about it

  • and all the junk food that I've had

  • this week has been like genuinely delightful.

  • I actually am getting a little too used to eating it.

  • So, I ate like a college student for a week.

  • I had mac and cheese three nights for dinner,

  • like six cup of noodles over the course of the week,

  • I saved close to $180.

  • I was like, holy shit.

  • I do not think it's a sustainable way of living

  • just because I felt like a lot more lethargic.

  • Already feeling a little bit like poopy in my tummy.

  • As much as I don't love healthy food,

  • I will admit that it does make you feel a little better.

  • So I actually brought food from home.

  • But I'm gonna pay more attention

  • to my Seamless orders

  • and I will try to cook more often,

  • I will try to actually grocery shop.

  • I will try to just be a normal well-adjusted adult

  • instead of an overgrown college kid

  • with more money to spend.
