tl;dr: any good habits? or just a lot of mtn dew?

A good point. A lot of this was probably skewed perspective because the thread posters seem to be posting in jest, and a lot of it will be simply because, frankly, high school students + big projects = coffee and energy drinks and pizza.
My habit of "no repeated fast food meals" was intended as a compromise and a way to stay conscious of my food habits. I know I'm going to get junk food each build night. I know that's bad. But this forced me to think about where I'm going to go each night and what I'm going to order, rather than just mindlessly order the same junky junk over and over.
Another healthy build season habit my previous team adopted (and new team will likely do the same) - when it got really intense we asked parents to rotate around a schedule and provide meals for the team. Instead of ordering pizza for every night we had a variety of tasty home-cooked meals.
