How bad was the food really? Could you give us some examples, including the best and the worst of it?

Was any one meal -- breakfast lunch or dinner -- usually much worse than the other?

Was being hungry much of a problem? Did you get decent portions and all? If not for you(I don't know your body type), then was hunger much of a problem for others?

I can skip meals pretty easily myself, often, but if I get a small meal it makes me get super hungry.

Everything is made out of turkey. Turkey hotdogs, turkey burgers, turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey salami, turkey sausage.... you get the idea.

It's pretty bad at first, but you start to get used to it after you've gotten all the real food out of your system. The portions were pretty small. The best thing they had was once a month there was a real beef cheeseburger. Also, the pancakes were good, because those are hard to screw up. The worst was some kind of turkey patty, which was probably supposed to be salisbury steak or something. Other things they had: hot dogs, waffles, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fish patties, beans and rice.... there's more but i'm kinda drawing a blank.

There were people that lived completely off of their commisary (the food they bought with their own money). You can get pretty creative with some of the stuff they sold you. For instance, you could make a ramen noodle soop, and load it up with crushed crackers, sausage (like a slim jim type), and other assorted stuff. They also sold tortilla wraps, which can also be used for a wide variety of things. Also, alot of sweets like honey buns and candybars.
