BRISTOL, Conn. -- Kansas State coach Bill Snyder says the legend of him eating one meal a day is true.

Snyder, 74, still works 18-hour days as he is about to begin his 23rd season as the Wildcats' coach, and he refuses to take lunch breaks. He usually doesn't eat until after he leaves the office.

"One meal a day is accurate," Snyder said Wednesday, during an interview at ESPN. "It's not always Taco Bell. I like Taco Bell. But I eat at other places."

Snyder said Taco Bell is sometimes his only option because he returns home so late.

"Taco Bell is open at midnight," Snyder said. "[My wife's cooking] is not."
