Rating Subscriber-Submitted Struggle Meals for a Full Day
Discover which absurd, low-effort, and heartfelt comfort meals submitted by viewers tasted surprisingly incredible and which ones failed spectacularly when tested for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Short Summary
- Evaluate three extreme meals from breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including canned meat hashes, instant potatoes, and coffee-cheese combos.
- The "Mix Struggle" (French Toast Eggos sandwich) earned near-perfect scores for mastering cheap comfort.
- The "handful of shredded cheese and coffee" was unanimously rated the worst culinary combination of the day (approx. 2.8/10).
- Chefs struggled with basic cooking tasks and equipment failures while sticking to the limitation of eating only these submitted meals.

It's good to see Smosh finally let Trevor out of their studio to rejoin his original family.
I think the difference between mental health struggle meals and poverty struggle meals is interesting. Depression meals can have nicer ingredients but must take -5 effort and look/taste like how you feel (vaguely offputting slop). Meanwhile the budget struggle meals can be inventive and take some effort (multiple steps, etc) and look/taste good, but each ingredient needs to be like max 20c. Two completely different intents and results.
trevor’s hair looks INCREDIBLE. it’s got so much volume and shape
This episode feels 35% more unhinged than normal and I'm so here for it.
Man, I love it when people are casually open about their depression haha. Trevor just dropping "when I didn't want to be alive" really hits.
The thing I love about YouTube is there's no universe where a network cooking show says "listen, we were going to get an overhead cam, but it's cheaper if you just put this thing on your head."
Watching Trevor cook reminds me so much of drinking while making dinner and just slowly becoming a little bit goofier as the meal progresses
Josh scrounging up the bread crusts off of the floor and eating them in a dark corner is the truest struggle meal here
Mcstruggle is a struggle meal if your poor and the shredded cheese and coffee is when your depressed
Trevor is so fast now with his jokes after Smosh university
