Phoenix did tend to eat lesser which drove Miles and Maya nuts. The man does not need diet. He is UNDERWEIGHT! They've been trying their utmost to fatten Phoenix up (Phoenix's words). With an ongoing bet to drive them. So the moment they found out this money strategy of Nick to save money, they both are so frustrated and upset for many reasons and am even more determined. Miles creates a report or power point for every debate Miles will have with Phoenix on this. Maya got Trucy and Pearls involved to ensure Nick eats 3 times a day. When Edgeworth is in LA or when he drags Phoenix to another country, he makes sure Phoenix gets his food even if had to drag him kicking and screaming. Phoenix was no Franziska. It was no contest getting him to eat despite Nick's bitchiness. Edgeworth made it his goal to bring him not only to a 5 star (because he wants to spoil that MAN) but also realized that brining Phoenix to an affordable but delicious place worked like magic. Phoenix did not see that coming. He only realized far too late when Edgeworth is not in LA and he is craving for a certain European or Asian cuisine he ate with Edgeworth in a restaurant.

Maya's strategy is to bully Phoenix into treating them mostly. Dinners also consist of Maya and Trucy slyly piling food onto Phoenix's plate but he can't complain. Pearl's will look so upset if Phoenix tries to skip on any food, ready to punch or kick her Nick for being ridiculous. Maya just straight up bullies Phoenix if he tries to contest not being hungry. Edgeworth gives him the eye, lectures him until his ears bleed if he doesn't eat! If that doesn't work, Miles threatened to bring the one famous restaurant chef to Phoenix once which made Phoenix concede. Pearls makes sure everyone gets to eat their veggies. She will lecture everyone who avoids being healthy - and Phoenix being the worst offender next to Maya, would concede since he is weak to a determined Pearl. Somehow Franziska got involved because of Maya and Miles rantings. She sometimes shows up, out of the blue to get Phoenix to eat properly, driven crazy by Maya and Miles endless topic. There is no escape for him.

He is hell no to a lot of modern appliances and stuck to traditional cooking. Meaning he'd use the stove. If he's really desperate, he'll do charcoal cooking - as he could not afford to order gas to the displeasure of his neighbors. This man could not be stopped. His neighbors pitches if he ever comes to attempts charcoal cooking. A trade off was to attend a neighbor thing and cook for everyone and yes - he does not have to spend a dime. He cooked rice traditionally versus a rice cooker. Learned a lot of cooking. Chinese food, Japanese cuisine, also German cuisine because of Miles. It doesn't help that Miles brings Phoenix to a lot of European countries. And when Edgeworth treats him and Trucy, Phoenix back at US is driven crazy half the time of the food he tasted there and with the money issue, he just obsessed at one point to cook that food he tased in Germany or what country Miles brought him to.
