Geminis have to have variety in what they eat, otherwise they get bored quickly. They also can easily get by on several smaller meals or snacks throughout the day, rather than three square meals.

Capricorns can be picky eaters, and they’re not usually into spicy foods. They prefer a calm, relaxed atmosphere for their meals and dislike being served more food when they’re no longer hungry. They can be slightly heavy-handed with the salt, however, so it’s important to keep an eye on sodium intake.
Aquarius
Aquarians tend to be less fond of cooking, but when they do, they rarely stick to prescribed recipes. They prefer to use recipes as jumping off points, tweaking them to their tastes while letting their creativity and natural instincts take over. They are happy to share their food with others during meals.
Many Aquarians end up being vegetarian or vegan, due to their humanitarian nature. They favor lower-calorie meals filled with fruits and vegetables over protein-rich food.
