Jackson Stokes, the 26-year-old cofounder of TrainLoop, cares about his health. Next to his fridge, Stokes showed off his apartment’s stack of supplements. Inside the fridge, he had a rotisserie chicken.
“Usually we just eat a lot of salads with stuff on top of that,” he said. He pulled out a clear drawer, where he said he keeps “a lot of extra protein from Costco.”
Stokes seems to be eating his protein: By the time he sent a photo of his fridge to Business Insider, the rotisserie chicken and clear drawer contents were gone.
The TrainLoop cofounders pay themselves “just enough for healthcare,” Stokes said, so they have to strike a balance between healthy eating and cost-consciousness.
As for his delivery-ordering peers, Stokes said that he was learning to spend more on takeout. He grew up “pretty frugal,” Stokes said, and delivery felt like a “luxury.”
“Until six months ago, I had DoorDash’d or Uber Eats’d a total of three times in my life,” he said.
