I've been evolving out of unhealthy foods, the problem is I bought a bunch of frozen shit before I realized I can make it healthier, cheaper and better. Also I didn't really eat vegetables and fruit before but I've gotten better with that. Once my frozen shit tier food is gone I think I'll be eating relatively healthy

rice & beans will give you 1 solid meal per 36-48 hour.
get some chicken or protein at least once a week.
and something with vitamin c, like fruits or a juice.

pay attention to what your body tells you, and re-up in the category it needs as you go.

if you think you're gonna die, or you start auschwitzing yourself, look for food pantries, small business throwing out food, and foodstamp

beans every 48 hours will keep you alive.

living on flour sucks.
avoid flour products.

>> No.9276852

1k a year is psychotic. The best balance for me is 10k a year, with the goal of 130g of protein per day. I don't cook (not a faggot), but I can grab cheap and big meals from Publix (6.50 for 10 steroid wings bitch).

$1k/yr is totally doable. That's $83.33/mo.

I checked Mint and on average I spend about $140/mo on food, so $1.68k, and I eat a fucklot because I lift.

Only protips you need:
>rice, in bulk
>dried beans, in bulk
>cheapest chicken available
>seasonal vegetables
>big ass bottle of olive oil
and then spices/seasonings
>bottle of sriracha
>italian herbs, lemon juice

That's about it, make in bulk, freeze, eat nothing but that. Never gets old as long as you balance the flavors

>> No.9277310

Hmmm for 1 mean a day 1k is pretty impressive. I'd say if you double it at 2k/year for 2 meals a day sounds pretty decent. I mean atleast for college students maybe? 11/10

just buy some weed and vape every time you feel hungry to suppress the hunger. the munchies thing is just a myth, stoners shovel food into their mouth because they don't know what to do with themselves after they smoke up.

assuming we're not talking about beans covered in syrups and other sugars, then beans are perfectly healthy

Yeah unless you live in a third world shithole, and I'm guessing you don't, that's not going to be healthy.

Even just eating mostly bread/potatoes/rice for calories and beans for protein you'll still need some extra shit just so you don't get any nutrient deficiencies.

Since you're tall and young you're going to need more protein than most so you'll need 50 grams of some kind of actual meat every 24-48 hours and that alone will set you back $2 for those periods even if you go with cheap cuts of chicken/canned fish.

Going back to the nutrient deficiencies, you're going to need some more expensive plant/fruit as well every 48-ish hours and that will also similarly set you back $2.

So you're looking at $60/mo just to live without any deficiencies.

I don't think you'll be able to get by with spending only $23 on cheap calories per month to get enough food that don't severely under-eat.

Sorry, op, this challenge sounds too retarded for you.

How much do you weigh? I'm vegan and get most of my calories from rice and bread and even I spend over $100 on food and I only weigh 190 lbs on a bulk.

Also, that pic is missing many nutrients mainly vitamins since there's no leafy geens nor whole fruits.

Fuck m8, I live off of 200$ (for food) a month. I do shop only for quality stuff, and my gf eats some of the food as well, so the real would be around 150$ but still, that seems a bit unhealthy. How much do you lift? Bench, OHP, deadlift? What's your 1RM?

You get D from the sun. There's no way he's getting his omega-3s. Most people outside maritime cities are low on those anyway. Not a huge issue. Yes B's will be a problem as will most other vitamins. Try not to get scurvy or anemia, op.

>ausfag

spend $20 on food every two weeks.

i buy canned food, beans, lentils, tomatoes, and turn that into a pasta sauce.

for protein i have eggs, tuna, beans (obv), protein shake

prices are as follows (AUD)

canned lentils, chickpea,beans4kind, .75
canned tuna $4
eggs $4 dozen
shake $1.50-3.50 a scoop (depending which brand i use) scoop is 60grams

bag of spinach $5 (last me 4 days)

sometimes i get roast chicken for $8 that lasts me 4 days too

if you add up all the items its more than 20$ per 2 weeks, thats because i steal the more expensive shit.

nearly one year like this. Everything has been going into crypto since july 2017. have not cashed out a cent yet. im nearly 25 this is my only chance left at making it in this life
