You can eat beet grass and leather belt soup too

>>10972229
I like you.

>>10972226
Eat a little bit throughout the day when you're at work and then make yourself a big meal to take home for dinner. Eat leftovers or eggs/rice/sandwiches for breakfast. It's only hard if you're an alcoholic and/or don't cook for a living.

you can eat for even less than that, the problem is, it won't be enjoyable or healthy. eating is about more than just fueling your body.

To quench my autism I believe I found the most calorie/dollar food at the supermarket, I've seen these go for $1

>>10972226
What's the secret?

>>10972226
If you want to look like a hungry skeleton, sure why not.

>>10972294
You'll need more than one of those a day. And next time you're at the supermarket take a look at the cost per calorie of flour.

>>10972376
slow roasted beans and rice with lots of seasonings
fresh vegetables
eggs and toast

You can get all of this for $20 and eat a bit of variety with nutritious foods and basically stuff yourself on it every single day and only run out of food on shopping day. Not sure how that makes someone a hungry skeleton. Maybe if you only eat ramen, or try to fit meat into the budget.

I could do it, but I'd fucking hate it.

Poorfags don't get the privilege of variety.

Peanut butter is the best when you are on a budget. That's what people in prison eat.

>>10972387
>bread
miss me with that weak shit, go oatz or nothing for carbs

>Beans and veggies

Ok nice meme guy but where else am I going to get my extra protein fucking powder? that's still 50 dollars

>>10972387
What seasonings?

>>10972387
Also where do you live that you can afford this for 20 dollars a week. Where are you shopping at? Becuase there a huge disparity when I buy said items.

>>10972252
>whisk an egg and some soy sauce together
>pour over hot rice

Start to finish, a rice cooker is like 20 bucks, rice 15-20 for 20 ish pounds, soy sauce is maybe like a dollar or two I dunno, eggs are 1-2 dollars a dozen. Almost no startup cost, zero skill, no effort, pretty healthy and tastes alright.

>a bu bu bu
A years worth of multivitamins is like 6 bucks.
>but still
Drink whole milk
>I really think that
Since you're spending sub one dollar for three meals, assuming you have literally any money at all you should now be able to afford some pretty decent meat and sides and cook an actually good meal every once in a while instead of blowing 5 dollars at mcdicks because "uhhhh it's so easy, uuuuh I'm working I don't have tiiiiiime"

If I'm eating solely for sustenance it might as well be cheap as possible, I eat USDA Prime strip steak at least once a week and live off sub 600 a month working part time, you can do it too. Reminder that poor people are poor because they blow money on dumb shit.

If I didn't want to eat like I'm on poverty and get the nutrition I needed, but still wanted to be kind of responsible, how much should I spend on a weekly basis? My grocery budget is everywhere

>>10972226
>lived on 5€ a week for months
to be fair, IF means I'm practically cheating.

>>10972226
you can make a huge thing of chili and eat that for every meal for a whole week on like 12 bucks

>>10973589
chicken thighs, bulk veggies, bulk rice, and whatever seasoning you want with your leftover money. you dont have to be as poverty level as OP but on 30 dollars a week you can have everything you need to survive with mild variety

>>10973597
>lived on 5€ a week for months
what the fuck did you eat?
you must be growing your own stuff

Ah you know, what if you have 1 big meal a day right before you go to sleep, just so your money has nothing to do but digest, you'll save tons of money too

>>10973637
Did you just fuck up an already stupid Metalocalypse quote?

Would one multivitamin a day be enough to prevent scurvy?

The beer should be from Shebrew

>>10972387
I eat for $30 a week and don't have to eat peasant food. I have fresh berries, fresh meat, fresh veggies, and generally whatever the hell else I want.

>>10973386
>Just eat the same thing every day forever
Yeah great advice, faggot

>>10973664
I think hes just retarded

>>10972226
I eat out for lunch everyday and spend on average $9 for each meal

I can spend $100 a week on food and still have most of my pay check spare for fun.

Lmao look how stupid you are.

just eat meat and butter
relatively cheap, packed with nutrition, and you won't gain any weight because your appetite will be annihilated by ketosis

Not in Brazil lol. Everything is so expensive here.

>>10972294
Might as well just load up on peanut butter, at least you'd get some nutritional value out of it.

Only yanks believe that you need to spend more than 15 yankeeronies to live for a week.

You can buy dozens of different kinds of grains and legumes in the bulk isle for less than 1$ a pound. Eating a varied diet on a budget is easy.

>>10972387
Why wouldn't you eat meat?

>>10973386

Multivitamins don't work, hence why they do not claim to and their efficacy is not subject to usda testing

Not cheap enough to buy every week and stay sub 20

>>10974245
Yeah, where the fuck are the mcdonalds ?

Let there be a naan and roti oven on every corner in winter, keeping the mountain hart warm, let the tiger of the heights, feast upon the bread of the worker, the spice of the plain.

>>10974136
meat is expensive anon

It's impossible to eat healthy (this includes eating only organic foods) for $20/wk.

>>10974559
>get ramen

Easy mode, just gotta do the inital investment on those like 99c seasoning bottles of onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, chili powder, etc

eat a bowl a day for 3 weeks. total cost $65

>>10972226
How do you achieve this?

>>10974626
*$35 not 65

>gallon of milk a week is $2.50, make it into kefir
>chicken breasts are $4/2lb
>white rice is $1.10/2lbs, even cheaper/lb for larger amounts
>$1/lb for onions
>$5/2lbs for broccoli florets, cheaper for chopped broccoli
>$1.50/18 eggs
>canned tomatoes for ~$1/lb, fresh for $1.30lb
>$3/4lbs dried pinto beans (would be spread over two weeks or so so assume $1.50/2lbs)
That's ~$18/week so you would have room to spread the cost of olive oil, spices, and vitamins over the span of a few months.

>>10972226
I can for even less...
2 McChickens a day = $2
$2 x 7 days = $14
Even have some cash leftover for $1 large beverage if you want.

>>10972226
no you can't

>>10974596
Even expensive ramen noodles are not healthy you fat weeb

>>10974596
Needs fruit at the very least.

>>10976212
not the main source of nutrition so whatever. Obviously, if only ramen noodles were then I agree, but you are mixing it with protiens and veggies so there you go. Hell crack an egg open on em eggs are what 12 for like 1.50 at walmart?
>>10976236
grab a fucking banana or apple then do one half a day, that's like what <20c a day?

>>10976349
Adding nutrients to something lacking nutrients isnt the same as eating a nutrient dense food. You're just adding things. The saturated fats in the ramen are still there.
I understand your point, but I think we have a different definition of healthy.

>>10976349
>walmart
Shart in mart amerilard.

>>10976236
Why would you need fruit if you're eating vegetables? Just a hankering for more sugar?

>>10972235
I'm a chef, and I cook for a living.. Though a lot of the job is paperwork and business relations. And the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook, or even think about it. Not that I hate it, I just need the space. I don't really cook at home, and honestly it's because I cook for a living. Though I do follow a similar diet to you, light consistent and balanced snacking through the day, and a larger meal at the end of the day

>>10976377
Sat fats aren't going to kill you, and they aren't the worst thing ever made. If you're living on 20 a week then that's a non issue for the most part. Sure if you want to talk about cutting those out, then that's another topic. You can fully live with them easily, and this thread is about living on 20 a week. Feel free to make a new thread about that topic.

What I posted, you'll more than get the caloric, vitamin, and protein intake to live. Was it ever discussed it is the 100% proper way to? nah. That's a completely different thing

>>10972226
Me and my wife ate this week on $40 made chicken and carbonara from scratch and made spicy pork curry and rice.

Easy for sure. Rice, beans, potatoes, cabbage, onions, carrots, lentils, flour(for sourdough), eggs, milk, sardines. Buy in bulk for the shelf stable stuff, and you can eat cheap easily and still have leftover money for fruit and other occasional treats.

>>10972226
I can eat for a month for $30 no problem.

>>10976410
The ramen suggestion was in response to
>It's impossible to eat healthy (this includes eating only organic foods) for $20/wk.
I know what this thread is about.

>day one
>buy case of beer and drink it
>day 2
>????

Explain this OP. Not even enough for 2 days.

>>10976422
It's healthy enough and the shit I was posting was in response to the OP. You can live fine, it won't be enough to get fit as shit or anything, but whatever

>>10976431
Why were you replying to posts without reading what they were in response to for context. But yeah of course if you have $20 to keep yourself alive, unhealthy ramen noodles aren't a big concern.

>>10976444
>unhealthy
>get veggies and fruits

Oh no my sat fats tho I may have a few!

>>10974559
>>10976164
Technically you can. You can buy giant bags of rice for less than a dollar. Add some eggs, beans, frozen fruit, etc and you're good to go.

>>10975047
where do you live where anything is that cheap?

>>10976455
Are you one of those retards who orders a salad with their quarter pounder meal to make it "healthy"?
Learn to use a comma, you delusional autist.

>>10976392
Does no one understand that health is more than just hitting your macronutrients?

Also, people are seriously defending ramen? Or even highly processed flour at all? Might as well eat sugar.

Yeah sure if you don't work for a living. I do 50-60 hours of manual labor per week, as much as I'd love to suck the scum off boats after my deeply nourishing meal of rice and water, I think I'll shell out a few more dollars to eat like I'm not a caveman trapped in a berry-free timecube.

I spend 20$AUS on food per day and have no intention of changing that fact.

>>10976707
to be fair if youre working full time you obviously aren't on a budget that would require you to live on 20$ a week of food

>>10972229
Don't you knock beet greens, I love those shits.

>>10972226
you can buy a 20 dollar knife and eat forever

>>10972226
Using dollar bills as plates is odd but it should last longer than a week

>>10972226
>$20
I can bring it down to 10. Won't have much variety in it though.

Appalachia, US

>all these brainlets saying ramen

Ramen has little to no nutritional value and the seasonings are toxic. It does more bad than good for you and is more expensive than other basic foods.

>>10973386
>$600 a month
You feeding a family of four on that? That's a lot of money to be spending on a shitty rice diet.

>>10977533
600 is his total monthly income

>>10972245
>barely hitting your macros
>abhorrently deficient on your micros
you won't starve but you won't do well

That's still 80 dollars a month. I only make a 100 dollar a month allowance anon.

>>10977524
The seasonings aren't toxic, it's just chock full of sodium. What is toxic is the stuff used on the noodles to preserve them for so long. It doesn't digest right and can cause cancer.

>>10977954
>allowance

>>10972294
Vegetable oil continues to be the cheapest source of calories at 5000-10,000 cals/dollar depending on how big of a container you buy

>>10972226
yeah, but why would you want to? What the fuck else am I going spend my money on besides food an drink?

>>10977986
Nobody eats on $20 a week because they WANT to

>>10976504
I live in Pittsburgh and these prices are about right

>>10974253
If you are using enough seasoning that you need to buy a bottle every week, seek help.

>>10976349
One half of the ramen, or one half of the banana/apple? If the latter, i'd love to see you cut an apple or banana in half and want to eat it the next day. That shit starts getting mushy and gross within 10 minutes of being cut, and you propose holding onto half of it for 24 hours?

>>10977533
Not to mention all the extra rice cookers you're gonna have around.

my diet is eggs/coffee/chicken/pasta/potatoes/peppers/banana/lettuce/tomato/garlic

biggest problem is I can easily spend $100 weekly on alcohol/marijuana

>>10977175
I liked your comment mate

>you go weeks with only drinking water and tea if you want
there, saved you all your money

>>10976696
Fruit has no nutrients macro or micro that can't be found in vegetables.

2 x 12 carton eggs = $4 x 2 > $8 subtotal
14 x 3 servings of cheap vegetables = $1 x 14 > $22 subtotal
4 x 2kg bag of potatoes = $4 x 4 > $38 subtotal

Slightly less than two eggs a day, vegetables each meal, and at least two potatoes per meal. You will have to buy fortnightly, there will be no flavour, and you may be missing out on certain nutrients but you won't die.

>>10978404
Add bacon and terrible processed cheese slices to that list and you are me.

Richer people are more educated so they make better choices. Also a lot of cheap food has poor nutrition.

>>10974559
Organic foods are even less healthy because they have insect pathogens you dipshit. It's literally a meme to shill undersized and overpriced food to upper middle class white people.

>>10972229
do you know how much belts cost? lol

>>10977954

>>10972226
yeah rice soup and chicken are cheap as fuck

>>10973745
Easily. Scurvy is very very tough to get.
Even if you eat no vegetables or fruits ever, eating any slab of non-white meat once or twice a week will probably stave you off.
