>I'm kind of poor at the moment.
But you are rich in spirit. GOD bless you, we're praying for you. To answer your question, what did Jesus give his followers when they were down on their luck? Fish, wine and bread. You should follow in His footsteps.

White rice, eggs, chicken breasts whole in a big bag, tuna, almonds, broccoli, green beans, beans in general, hot sauce, milk, quark, soy milk, tofu...

Healthy as fuck and literally the cheapest stuff you can buy in large quantities

>>10822960
>empty carbs

White rice is literally the only carb that bodybuilders eat to stay in shape

>>10823024
>White rice, eggs, chicken breasts whole in a big bag, tuna, almonds, broccoli, green beans, beans in general, hot sauce, milk, quark, soy milk, tofu...
Might as well just recommend Soylent since it contains all of that and more.

Vienna sausages

>>10823024
oh I forgot the most important one, oatmeal

>>10823035
Pretty sure they use brown rice.

Bread, beans, rice. If you want meat, either buy whole chickens, or go fishing

>>10823035
Bodybuilders aren't necessarily healthy. And unless you're going to eat and then do a vigorous workout, you're probably better off with brown rice.

>>10823047
Bodybuilders use white rice exclusively, brown rice takes way too long to digest because it is high in fiber and doesn't hit their muscles fast enough

>>10823049
>aren't necessarily healthy

>>10823036
He said cheap

>>10823061
Soylent is cheaper than regular meals in the long run especially if you buy the powder in bulk.

>>10823058
Nah, they just usually prioritize physique over health to a certain extent. We're not talking about all people who exercise and lift weights but specifically bodybuilders which isn't the same thing.

Chicken, milk, rice, beans.
Most Asian cuisine is also pretty cheap and fast to make, you need veggies tho

>>10823068
"Im kind of poor at the moment"

>>10823080
If he can afford white rice, eggs, chicken breasts whole in a big bag, tuna, almonds, broccoli, green beans, beans in general, hot sauce, milk, quark, soy milk, or tofu then he can afford Soylent.

>>10823068
>replacing solid food with flavored powders

Not a good idea

>>10823091
On amazon a 12 pack goes for $32

that's 2,6$ a meal which is crazy hi if youre on a budget. If you buy real food everything in big bags you're talking $1,50 a meal maximum. A chicken breast, some broccoli and a cup or two of rice is like $1,60.

>>10823075
Ok fatty go cry more at the world because of your genetics

>>10823098
It is if you want to save money and time while also losing weight in the process.
>>10823108
Why do you use commas instead of decimal points? Are you high? Dyslexic? Anyways $32 for 12 meals is an insanely good deal. You can't feasibly go to any grocery store and walk out with 12 meals for that price.

>>10822960
>empty carbs
What are full carbs?

>>10823120
Yes you can, i just broke it down you illiterate fuck

>>10823138
I may be illiterate but at least I'm also e-literate and I know a good deal when I see one

>>10822936

>>10823146
>$2,60 per "meal"
>good deal

First off you would probably suffer major malnourishment if you went on a soylent diet and second: it's expensive. Just buy everything I named in large quantities and you can save ridiculous amounts of money.

See if the stores in your area carry seasoning bacon, it’s the scraps and big chunks that were not long enough for selling as bacon. They had it on sale for $2.00 a pound and it is sooo smoky and flavorful.

>>10823118
Lol dunno why you're so butthurt but I personally know a bodybuilder who ended up with liver problems because of all the shit he was taking. Refined carbs just aren't as healthy and a bodybuilder eating refined carbs is prioritizing physique over health. Not saying all bodybuilders are unhealthy but they aren't necessarily the best group to look at when considering your diet.

>>10823172
The data actually indicates that people who eat high fiberous diets don't age well and die younger, probably because you wear and tear on your body when you age, and digesting high fiberous foods takes it's toll because it consumes a lot of energy

Try dumpster diving. Save big $$$$$

Rice and beans and any cheap vegetables or marked down meat and stop drinking and doing drugs

>>10823158
>$2.60 is expensive
Ok poorfag

>>10822960
What the fuck

>>10823212
>Ok poorfag
>OP: "I'm kinda poor at the moment."

You have literally just admitted that $2,60 per meal is too expensive for OP and therefore Soylent isn't an option. Your words.

Next topic?

>>10823224
If OP can't afford $2.60 then he deserves to live on the street. Dumpster diving is always free.

>>10823232
Well then get the fuck out of this thread because we are talking about foods that OP can actually afford

>>10823018

>>10823200
Is a "high fiber diet" what the average person would have by eating whole grains and stuff or way beyond that? Can you give me some sources? I've heard stuff like this before but there were never any studies or sources for anyone claiming it, just people pushing fad diets. I'd definitely consider the data from a reputable source but that's still not why a bodybuilder would be eating refined carbs.

>>10823204
That woman is an ABSOLUTE UNIT. Proud of her.

Stop spreading this stupid fucking quark meme. I've been looking for it in grocery stores for years since I started browsing fit, and I've never FUCKING found it. Stop acting like it's commonly available and cheap. You cunts are the original vark sauce dueches

>>10823118
my dude bodybuilders take steroids and shit that is NOT good for you.

>>10823616
Not him, but he is right.

I'm making some lentil curry for dinner. Cheap as fuck and very good.

some languages switch commas and decimal points in maths

>>10823616
I just think it's funny that 4chan can't accept that food is changing from what our parents knew.

Ultimate poorfag recipe: take 1 washed russet potato, peirce multiple times with a fork, coat with cooking oil of choice, sprinkle with kosher salt. Preheat oven to 350 and place potato directly on the rack above a sheet pan to catch drippings. Bake for 1 hour.
Serve with butter salt and pepper, add sour cream and chives when you're no longer a poor fag. This recipe got me through my studio apt years

>>10822931
Potatoes, beans, rice.
Bacon is relatively cheap where I live, but I don't know about how you have it.
Mince meat can go for like 3 dollars per pound around here, but again, your results may vary.

>>10823058
Not untrue, some bodybuilders have impressive muscles, but dogshit for cardio, for instance.

>>10822931
Are you fat?

>>10823048
Well I mean, I guess OP can go foraging in the wild for meat, assuming there's no regulations to stop him, or if he wants to play dangerous and do it anyway (watch out for lawmen). A cheap WalMart .177 caliber pellet gun can be used for small birds and squirrels and stuff.

Fishing is good if nobody is there to stop him, however.

>>10822931
Oh fuck, did anyone bring up onions? They're cheap as fuck and add flavor to near anything.

>>10822931
Homemade fermented pickles. A few cucumber plants will yield you at least a new jar of everyday. Oak leaves or grape leaves you can find freely in your neighborhood. Your only required real expense is salt and mason jars. All of the herbs and spices are just for taste and unnecessary.

>>10823047

>Pretty sure they use brown rice.
most bodybuilders eat white rice not brown rice like the other anon said. a lot easier to consume and digest. when half your job is consistently eating, having food that is agreeable is key

>>10823120
You can buy 12 boxes of mac n cheese at shartmart for ~ 50 cents per 200g box here in Canada. That's 12 boxes (12 meals) for just over $6. Get rekt.

>>10822960

starch is the cornerstone of the human diet. You should be eating mostly starch!
beans, potatoes, bread, oatmeal. It's fat you gotta stay away from.

Dysgenic dietary advice, strictly for the goyim, muggles and the profane. If you want to be smart, healthy and strong eat eggs, yoghurt, butter, oily fish and fatty meat. Plato wrote about restricting meat to the lower classes and keeping them on a predominately grain-based diet to keep them weak and docile so they are easy to manage by the oligarchs in any given society, who enjoy a nutritious diet of mostly meat and wholefoods. Plato wrote The Republic 2500 years ago or so, it's not exactly breaking news. The majority of these government or NGO promoted food pyramids can be harmful to your health, both mental and physical, if followed. Stop posting these nonsense infographics shills.

>>10825845
olive oil is pure fat with no nutrition at all. why would I eat that every day? What is wrong with you?

why eat rice when you can bake bread? rice is mushy grossness.

>>10827167
That's why I only like brown rice, it has much better texture

Beef heart

>>10827173
>That's why I only like brown rice, it has much better texture
gritty mushy grossness? nutritionally, wheat is better than rice, so just eat wheat, and wheat is enriched, boiling rice removes some nutrients from rice.

>>10823016
Frozen ham hocks are no joke six bucks a pound here

>>10827440

Where the fuck is fishing illegal? I mean a fishing license costs like $15 for a year and that is just to pay for the gamewardens to not fuck with you basically. The amount of fish you can get in a day is worth more than that if you take supermarket prices.

I Litterally had pennies to my name for about two months I lived off of rice, beans and cat kibble

It’s a rough ride but it’s doable, get yourself some ramen if you’re feeling lavish, often on sale for .15 a pack. God speed anon

They eat sweet potatoes

Definitive answer:

>protein
Chicken thighs, whole chicken, whitefish like tilapia, ground pork, and canned oily fish like sardines are cheapest per lb. Use a variety of meats if possible and hunt for sales. Also, tons of eggs.
>vegetables
Canned and frozen veg is extremely cheap, but so are fresh things in season like zucchini, sweet potato, green beans, and spinach or other leafy greens. Eat many veg. Compare the price per pound of frozen, canned, and fresh veg - you might be surprised what yields the most for your dollar. Keep in mind that cans include the weight of water in the weight of the product.
>staples
You don't need bread, rice, beans, tortillas, potatoes, or cereal. It's wasted money when you are eating for nutrition and frugality, because these things have no nutritional value other than making you FEEL full. Add them when necessary to "fill out" a meal but try to avoid if possible.

You can make pasta bakes with plenty of meat/veg, you can make stew or curry, omelet, midwest-style thrown-together casseroles, or just cook and serve meat with side dishes.

If OP had a solid figure as far as budget per week I could give some more specific info.

>>10823134
I think he means they are food sources that are 'empty' of the full range of vitamins and minerals your body and gut flora need to maintain health. You need a varied to diet, the more variety the better.

>>10823035
>White rice is literally the only carb that bodybuilders eat to stay in shape
Bodybuilders don't eat white rice to stay in shape. Bodybuilders eat extremely high-carb foods for energy right before a vigorous workout, because carbs are an easily available energy source. The average person should not be consuming that level of carbs or basing their diet off of anything that involves bodybuilders and strongmen, because their diet is extremely specifically tailored for their lifestyle.
Many bodybuilders eat whole pizzas and other junk food because they burn so many calories even at rest, due to their massive size, that they couldn't get enough calories to sustain themselves by just eating chicken and broccoli. I think we could all agree that eating a whole pizza isn't healthy, however, and there is a lot of merit to what
>>10823049
>>10823075
this anon said, in that bodybuilders prize muscle gain and physique over being objectively healthy. Many of them roid themselves to fucking death, no shit they're not some vegan gurus, they don't give a fuck about being healthy, only getting swole.

You are now confirmed for having a shit opinion and not knowing anything about anything. White rice is actively bad for you.

>>10822936
Are limes really a good food, or are they more of a condiment?

>>10825032
Raw onions are also supposed to be good for raising your testosterone.

Supposedly, back in ancient Greece, athletes would eat a diet with tons of onions in it, and would even bathe in onion juice or rub chopped onions over their body.

I'd suggest just putting some raw onions in your diet and not taking things quite that far.

>>10830261
I wonder how much of that is an old wives tale.
They're cheap, tasty, and have some vitamins though, so I like to use them in my cooking a lot.
I can get a lot of fresh onions for my dollars around here, too, so it's easy justifying throwing one or two in.

There are probably people out there who don't eat onions at all, and I kind of puzzle on how they go on with life.

>>10829628
7 limes can sustain someone on food stamps for 1 week

>>10829628
Limes are a meme based on a hollywood celebrity's tweet. I think she was the one who played Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies.

She posted what a week's worth of food was if you only had $26 a week from government benefits. SNAPs? I don't know what it's called in the US.

She made a lot of mistakes, unsurprisingly.
>These benefits are supposed to be SUPPLEMENTARY income, not someone's entire food budget.
>She probably went to an overpriced grocery store that caters to multimillionare clientele like herself.
>The haul she picked up actually looked like a decent week of food, overall. It could be better, but it'd at least be nutritious, and would likely keep you full enough to keep going.
>Inside this bunch of groceries, there were 6-7 limes. Unless she's eating a lime a day in place of something like an orange, I have no idea how she'd be using them.

>>10830322
If I was limiting to $26 weekly, I probably would not be buying limes in those quantities.
I mean maybe she eats them just plain, but an orange seems like it'd be just better for that.

>>10827455

black beans and brown rice is legit.
make sure to strain/wash the black sediment that comes out after soaking the black beans.

Best post I've seen on 4chan since I've visited this site. The birds and creatures of the earth do not worry about food and yet God feeds them. Are though not more important than they? So worry not about what one eats for he shall be fed. But become fishers of men, with the spirit of Christ in you working through all things, become one with him at his table and show the light of Christ to the world through you deeds and actions.

>>10822960
You still need those macros, you can not survive on vitamins alone, you need enough calories and those will come from carbs, fats and protein.
Add some frozen vegetables, they are usually cheap and have even more vitamins than most fresh vegetables, because the "fresh" stuff is usually several days old, while the frozen stuff conserves its vitamins.
