beans and rice and veggies
(toast the beans in the oven so they're less watery)
a fried egg on top

>beans
fuck all you beans fags
I don't even believe many of you even eat beans that often
they suck and they make you fart all the time

>rice
yes

Cauliflower, Brocolli, Brussel Sprouts, Carrots etc are all very nice washed, tossed in oil, salt and pepper, and roasted

>>11444294
Ideally, forego pasta, chips, hotdogs, and frozen dinners. At least buy less and don't use them as daily staples.
Eat pasta sauce on veggies if you like pasta sauce. Things like carrots, green beans, zucchini, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, and all leafy greens are about $1/lb or sometimes cheaper.
Buy chicken thighs as meat. It's the cheapest meat you can get unless you buy a whole chicken.
Use beans and rice as filler rather than pasta. Pasta is essentially completely empty calories, aka calories with no real nutrition, whereas from eating beans and rice you're getting fiber and protein in those same calories.

Easy meal:
>season a piece of meat with whatever you like, salt, paprika, pepper, herbs, garlic, whatever
>sear it in a pan both sides until the outside is cooked
>put meat in a baking dish with veggies and a little oil, maybe sauce if you want it
>cover with foil and bake 350F for 15-20 minutes or until meat is cooked
for chicken you want internal temp of ~160F or until juices run clear if you don't have a thermometer.

You can make a big batch of beans and rice once in the week and reheat it with veggies and meat on top. 2 cups water:1 cup rice for rice, there should be instructions on how to do this on the box. You can buy canned beans to save time as they're cheap, but if you buy bags of dry beans make sure to soak them in cold water overnight the night before you intend to cook them.

>empty calories
who fucking cares
there's nothing wrong with eating pasta & bread
they are fucking delicious

eat a wide and varied diet with a lot of vegetables.

>rice
>oats
>beans
>frozen vegs

Found the 12 year old

Sounds good bros, thanks for the advice. Gonna get a bunch of frozen vegetables, mostly broccoli. Also chicken thighs for that protein in addition to eggs. What's a good sauce to make beans in? Sometimes I buy those canned chili beans and eat them over rice. Oats with fruits also sounds good, especially if I can use my friend's costco membership and get a giant bag of frozen fruits.

For me cabbage & carrots are always dirt cheap and thinly sliced/grated together with vinegar & oil & salt & pepper & sugar makes a nice slaw
salt the cabbage in a collander/sieve and leave it for 10 mins then wring a bit of the water out first

then whatever else veges is cheap changes.
I really don't know why you'd go frozen

>>11444353
A poor person should care if he doesn't want to die. The best way to maximize your money is to get the most nutrition from your food. Besides, eating bleached pasta and sliced packaged bread is about as good as eating cardboard.
>b-b-but I like pasta and bread
Boo hoo, then eat it. It's still not healthy and still adds calories to your day without adding any nutrients.
Don't act so poor around me, it's gross.

>>11444294
Soup beans
1 pound dry beans soaked overnight
1 green bell pepper diced
1 onion diced
Whatever the strongest flavored pork you can get cheap so smoked ham hocks or whatever.
Water or chicken broth if you wanna spend the extra on it
Whatever herbs you like with soup beans

Drain soaking water off beans. Render some fat off your pork and sear the pork if possible if not add butter and olive oil to your soup pot.
Cook onions and bell peppers in fat until soft.
Add beans and then cover with whatever liquid you are using until the beans are fully submerged in water with a little extra.
Add seasonings at this stage hopefully bay leaves at least salt and peppers.
Dont use too much salt because this cooks down a lot but beans lacking salt are miserable.
Bring to a boil and drop the heat or stick in a 250 degree oven if you wanna not have to pay attention to it for a few hours.
After about an hour and 30 minutes the beans will be edible. I would recommend taking the lid off your cooking vessel and turning the oven up to 350 and let some of the liquid cook off at least 30 minutes but its however you them.
If you want it thicker but cooking it more will end up being too salty just crush some beans against your pot and stir together.

>>11444328
Soak your dry beans overnight and you will have less gas. Also, your body has so much gas partially because your stomach isnt used to beans. Over time it will and they will be less detrimental.

>>11444475
That sounds really good, thanks anon

>>11444419
>still adds calories to your day
You say that like it's a bad thing

>>11444294
You're not doing too badly compared to a lot of the frogposters we get.
Eat oatmeal for breakfast. It's just oats and water. You can put a little sugar on there. Cinnamon if you're fancy.
I'd try switching the sausages out and getting some chicken instead. Bags of frozen legs are pretty cheap but look into how cheaply you can get a while chicken. It's not that hard to learn to take one apart and even if you screw up the first one you can still cook and eat it.
Save the bones for stock.
Look at the fresh produce section and see what's cheap. It'll vary depending on the time of year but carrots, potatoes and onions are usually not expensive.
Ever had a whole boiled onion? It's not bad. I throw a few small ones in with my potatoes sometimes. Saves me the hassle of chopping a small onion too since it's the same work as a big one.
Grow some herbs in the windowsill maybe. Basil is pretty versatile and a very easy plant to keep. Mint is too. Hell, some garden owners probably consider it more of a weed than an herb.

Lose the frozen dinners. Lose the chips (or make your own. It's just oil and potatoes)
Make your own pasta sauce if you actually want to eat that stuff. Crushed fresh garlic, chopped basic, can of tomatoes, salt and pepper. You can go fancier with it but that'll give you a nice basic cheap sauce.

>>11444294

>$35/week on food

No sympathy. Fuck off, you stupid frogposting nigger.

>>11444546
u ok bro?

$35 a week on food? Fuck off, you don't know what poor is

Potatoes and milk. Or get some plants that make food during a season.

>>11444294
drop the chips and buy extra veggies to add to your pasta with pasta sauce

drop the frozen dinners and hot dogs and get yourself a better choice of protein and dry rice and beans.

You can eat better but you have to put in the extra effort to cook all your meals.

>>11445420
What's poor to you?

>>11445469
$140/mo for a bachelor is plenty and obviously not poor . Just because you can't spend $20 a day on prepared food doesn't mean you should and certainly doesn't make you poor. Being financially retarded and buying junk food and frozen dinners is also a sign that you're not poor; just stupid.

>>11444294
Are you fucking for real? I spend about 25-30 bucks every two weeks for food, and I live in fucking Brooklyn where everything is crazy expensive.
I just get pasta, rice and frozen chicken breasts/tenderloin. Bread and peanut butter. Onions and peppers. Maybe a red baron frozen pizza.
Don't get chips, you aren't a child and you don't need them.
Also if you're regularly eating more than two meals a day then you're already spending way more than necessary. I would say eat one meal a day (which is what I usually do) but given that you're most definitely a fatass I won't suggest it.

>>11444294
Pan roasted potatoes and veggies with a poached egg on top.

sounds like the average bachelor to me m8
>implying shit will improve unless you step over your autism and get some girl to cook for you.
Otherwise you might wanna try to do shit yourself.

>tfw developed schizophrenia, family abandoned me and now live off of 1 packet of ramen a day.

Minestrone

>>11444294
That's 4 mcchickens a day. Cmon dude

>>11445684
just tell the other guys to eat less

>>11445684
It's cheaper to just buy spaghetti or rice, way more bang for your buck

>post for sympathy
>gets defensive, uses passive-aggressive questions to deflect criticisms
>is still retarded

By saving on buying frozen dinners, chips and hot dogs you can purchase that money actual real food; look into everyday Mexican food: cheap, delicious and if done right, nutritious.

There was a $10 per week thread recently. Perfectly possible to survive like that. That's poor.

>>11444294
-cabbage, stir fired or simmered with peppers and shit
-lentils, makes good soup with garlic and thyme
-whatever leftovers and bones a butcher can give are great for soups and sauces, although you might need to boil them for an eternity to extract the nutrients.
-fresh leafy greens, eg lettuce, endives, collard greens, spinach, whatever you can find.
-organ meats, lives is easy as fuck to fry and eat
-plenty of fresh water, tough if you're a murifat it has chems in it.
-avoid the chips and frozen dinners, those sap your energy.
-if you did go for the junk food again, lemon water and fresh greens can make you feel alive again (but don't count on it).

>>11445802
Your retardation is terminal

>>11444294
Potatoes lots of them add meat and an other thing to your dinner takes about half and hour to make and is not too bad tasteing

>>11445910
Also, get them from the farmer's market if you can. They tend to be cheaper.

>>11445692

>>11445802

>broccoli, cauliflower, and all leafy greens are about $1/lb or sometimes cheaper.
Not in Wa that's for sure

>>11444294

>Frozen Dinners
>Cheap
A couple of frozen dinners or bags of chips goes for a sack of potatos
Eat Pasta with Soya Sauce and talk to me

>>11444294

>>11444294
Here is my rice and beans recipe (about 1250 calories).

1/4 habanero pepper
1/2 large onion
135 g long grain rice
200 mL water
1 can low sodium black beans
2 tsp oil
8 oz frozen mixed vegetables
spices (e.g. cumin, paprika, ground oregano, black pepper)

Chop onions and saute in oil, adding habanero at some point.

Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients in a metal bowl. I put the bowl on the scales and add each ingredient while resetting the scale.

When the onions are soft, add all other ingredients to put and raise heat to high, and cover. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally, then set to lowest heat and cook with lid on for 15 minutes, then let rest for 5-10 minutes without removing the lid.

I'm still working on the recipe, but it's quick, cheap and has decent macros (roast a chicken leg while cooking the rice and beans for more protein).

>>11444294
holy shit dude

>>11445420
that's actually poor in the us
things are more expensive here. it sounds like a lot of money to someone in fucking romania but $35 is fucking nothing

>>11446918
Just checked my receipt and this comes to

>Rice: 60c (135g at $10 for 5lbs)
>Beans: $1.50 per can
>Mixed vegetables: $1.50 ($3 for a 16 oz bag)
>Habenero: 2c (18c for 2)
>Onions etc.: ?

So this comes to $3.60 for 1250 calories or $5.78 for 2000 calories. More than your budget but I buy from an expensive grocery store, hopefully you can get all of the above for less.

>>11444294
Shop around, dude. You are overpaying for chips, hot dogs, and frozen dinners.

I spend about $50/week and get a lot of good food without having to cheap out on eating a ton of rice or pasta.

>>11446991
What website or app is that?

egg, bean, rice, veg, fuck anything frozen and premade. buy bulk

>>11446999
Cronometer. I put the prices in myself using paint.net

>>11444335
>It's the cheapest meat you can get unless you buy a whole chicken.
Honestly he should just buy a whole chicken. Best bang for the buck, and then he can boil what's left to make stock and get even more out of it

>>11446918
What kind of scale do you use?

>>11447110
I used the Accuweight 207. It's $18 on amazon and has worked well for a few years.

>>11447123
Very nice, thank you anon I've been meaning to get a good scale and this one looks good.

>>11445420

Me and my gf eat for the same amount and we get really healthy meals.
Cooking for oneself is a great money saver.

>>11445676
>Implying that millenials can cook at all.
I live in a pretty traditionalist country but fuck, women can't cook for shit around here either.

>>11444294
just buy a bunch of flour and yeast and make bread. you sound like a poor person and if you're poor then that means you're going to need as much energy you can get and carbs are the best way to deliver this energy

>>11447357
I've been seeing more and more millenials cook now desu. Most boomers I meet now can't cook for shit and have been feeding their kids fast food since they could walk
Pretty much all of them I see at work have me cook for their kids now.

>>11446983
Thai Chiles are way cheaper, and pretty much just as hot. You can get like 40-50 thai chiles for the price of like 6-8 habaneros.

Probably the most economical really hot pepper available

>>11444513

he's one of those dumbasses that doesn't realize calories ARE nutrients

Semi-unrelated, do you think we should make some kind of poverty food sticky? It would keep this thread from cropping up every two days, and it's incredibly useful info.

>>11447748
this would be very beneficial

>>11447748
/ck/ has been asking for a poorfag sticky for ages. It'll never happen. Also it wouldn't do much good because most of the people that start these threads are stupid and wouldn't check the sticky anyway.

Befriend your local deli. Ask for deli ends.

/fat/ here, is this a decent 1000 calorie diet to lose weight?

My breakfast is 350 calories
>Omelet (186 cal total)
>- 2 eggs, 50g, 156 cal
>- 1 tomato, 20 cal
>- salad leaves, 2 cal
>- 10g of yogurt dip, 8 cal (100g is 80 cal)
>- mixed in some random vegs
>Yogurt w/ protein 24g, 180g and (140 cal total)
>326 calories, round up to 50's for wiggle room

Is this fine to eat every morning or is it too big? I feel like I should replace the yogurt with something. I also have no idea what else to eat during the day. My idea was:

>Skinless Chicken leg, 200g ~ 300g, 340~490 cal
>2 carrots, 50 cal, steamed
>1~ cup broccoli, 15 ~ 30 cal, steamed
>Total: 570 calories round up to 600.

I don't know how much a single leg weighs because it's still frozen and I can't weigh it yet. It was 1 kg the entire box with 3 legs, plus marinade, so safe to assume one leg is 250g to 300g? This is with bones too of course. Also I hear you shouldn't wash marinade off with water because washing chicken meat spreads the bacteria everywhere. I don't want the marinade since I don't think it's healthy. I'm also going to cut the skin off before cooking so the fat doesn't get absorbed into the skin.

After that I only drink tea with some sugar (17 cal) so my total day eating would be: 350+600+50 = 1000. That's a good spot to stop, right? No need to eat more and I get tons of protein for my exercise.

Or am I killing myself with this kind of diet? Also isn't going on a diet like a decent way of saving money?

>>11444328
>beans make you fart
grow up kid

>>11448495
How big and how fat are you? I would recommend 1500 calories if you are normal sized and especially if you are going to exercise regularly. It sounds like it will take longer that way but it actually helps you to stay consistent and will make you reach your goal quicker that way. Also if you plan to do cheat days then do them every month and not every week. You can easily ruin one week of work just by one shitty day so be very careful about that.

Do you plan to eat the same every day? Pretty dangerous. I would at least create 5 varied dishes if I were you.

>>11444294
if you have the correct ingredients at home: spices (cumin, corriander powder, turmeric, clove, cinnamon, cardimon, pepper, salt, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, chilli powder, paprika), butter, oil, stock powder, beans, canned tomato, onion, eggs, coconut milk, bread crumbs, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, tamarind paste, ginger, garlic, rice, rice noodle, pasta, flour. All you need to buy is a meat and and vegetals. Accumulate one of these items each time you go shopping if you can afford all at once. You can make so much stuff with that pantry.

>>11444294
Carrots are super cheap. Skin them and snack on em they're better than chips

>>11448538
319 pounds and 6"10'. I'm doing cardio. Late 20's. I don't feel bad at 1000 but I do get hungry at the middle of the night sometimes.

>>11448591
With those stats and 1000 calories a day you are literally crash dieting. You would be losing weight fast even on 2000 calories, especially with the exercise.

If you had weight problems for a long time now I would go slower, mate. You are never getting enough nutrients on 1000 calories with your size so it's definitely not healthy at all.

>>11448608
Roger. I just don't have a lot of choice. I live in a household with people who eat food you put in the fridge.

>>11448659
Buy some plastic containers that you can put in the fridge and explain your household members to not touch the food in those since you are trying to lose weight.

If they are normal people they only touch your food because they lack in awareness, but if they see those containers they will know that the food in them is yours. Though luck if you live with some vile assholes that would ignore this kind of thing.

>>11448696
This I've done. Works somewhat. Problem is I'm unemployed. If I spend savings on food, they then expect me to do so every month. If I keep that up I'll have no money safety net if something goes wrong. In any case thanks for the advice. Just had a giant argument with my retarded mother who got angry simply because I walked into the kitchen while she was doing dishes and decided to just tell me I'm the cause of all her troubles. Told me why I don't do the dishes when I'm the only one in the house who washes his own dishes. Told me I broke the closet door, when it was in fact my alcoholic elder brother. She has no proof obviously. Tells me I clogged the sink, when it was their unwashed yesterdays meat filled shit food that I didn't even eat. I told her I don't wash other peoples dishes just like my two other brothers. She kept telling me to fuck off and nagging until I lost it. This is why I want to kill myself, but I guess dieting this way I can slowly kill my future but at least look thin for a while. I just wanted to put my chicken in cold water to defrost, but when she's in the kitchen for 4 hours cooking her dog food she wants the entire kitchen empty. Told her to die already in my anger. She's like almost 70. Fat. Obese. Chain smokes every day. Does nothing but sleeps and goes to food courts. Her life is pathetic and she's never done a single thing to help any of us 3 brothers to be prepared for life. I feel trapped and I want out. I think suicide is becoming more and more the only option.

>>11446214
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! GUYS HE ONLY POSTED A ONE WORD RESPONSE! SEE HOW COOL AND ABOVE IT ALL HE IS! YIKES OOF WEW LAD DAMN SON!
Get fucked, get fucked, get fucked. I hope you are destroyed. I want you to be raped, I hate you so much. Fuck you, with every fiber of my being fuck you. Stop posting like fucking girls on this board. Stop responding with one word comments like "yikes" or "oof." This shit is fucking infuriating and it's been going on for way to fucking long.
>"b-but I was just talking like a girl ironically"
Oh yeah, and I dressed your dad up in a wig and fucked him up the ass "ironically." Wow so funny am I right? What irony! Stop ruining this fucking board with this fucking yikes bullshit. Nobody is better for having read a single word comment just saying yikes. That bandwidth could have gone to something better, the net negative value of your comment is such that it is actively destroying the internet one bit at a time. Maybe those pixels that would have been used to say "yikes" on your screen could go to a more worthy cause, like reddit or a facebook group!
>"yik-"
No stop right fucking there. I no you're going to comment back with "yikes," I know you just can't get enough of that retarded shit. I want you to know you're disappointing everybody right now with everything you say. Get fucked. Nobody comes here so they can see the word "yikes" unaccompanied by anything else. If that were the case, they could just get a marker and some paper and write "yikes" on their own time. Leave it by their computer maybe. Fuck you and your yikes.
>"please, st-stop being mean to me"
Then fix your life. Fix how you comment. Maybe fix what sites you go to. Stop with this yikes crap that's just fucking irritating.
Remember this: nobody wants, nobody likes, yikes yikes yikes

Get over yourself and get literally any job. Why are you so quick to want to kill yourself when you can just seek to become better than your family?

>>11448726
Oof

>>11448731
>quick
I've been stuck here for 10 years and have been thinking about suicide that entire time. Jobs are hard to find. Being obese makes it hard to do any real physical labor.

>>11448718
Just get a job and get out and your life will become much better. I was in your situation, a NEET, my family started to hate me. I got out and got a job as a male geriatric nurse, I got this job in a week after I decided I will take fucking any job and get out of here, away from them.

Sure, it's not the best job but I started living again. Being a NEET is not the bad thing but living with toxic people is and you need to get out of there, asap.

>>11448741
I'm that post under yours. I was fat and ugly when I needed to find that job and I got it just by trying. I was so out of shape I big sweat stains on my work shit every day because the job was really hard on me. I was so embarrassed, I felt humiliated and it was hard, as a geriatric nurse you need to work often weeks in a row, days and nights.

But all was worth it after that first paycheck and after I could escape that hell at home. I wanted to kill myself too.

>>11448741
You can be obese and employed. You're only "stuck" because that's apparently the life you want to lead. Maybe try to rise above your shitty family, because you know that killing yourself won't change who they are.

>>11448749
>>11448743
Thanks anon.

>>11448754
It's not a life I want anon. I think something must've gone wrong my brain. I can't seem to get a move on in any direction no matter how much I think I want change. I just feel so much shame. So much embarrasment and fear of failure. I also live in 7 million people country, so jobs really are scarce and unemployment is huge here. I am depressed and I have no help. Every week I fucking cry myself to sleep because I can't take it. I pretend online that everything is fine except on anonymous boards.

>>11448741
Finding a job takes minutes if you have a computer or cell phone. Flippin' burgs ain't glamorous, but it's money in your pocket.

>>11444328
Well fuck you too peasant.

>>11448758
What country are you from? Can you think of a job you can create for yourself?

$35 isn't terrible. Not great, but you'll live.
Going by Walmart prices (get used to it, you'll be there a lot):
>15lbs brown rice: $9.50
>8lbs dried pinto beans: $5.88
>18 large eggs: $2.20
>10lb russet potatoes: $4.45
>2lbs carrots: $1.00
>3lbs yellow onions: $1.54
>celery: $1.28
>1lb broccoli: $1.88
>20oz spinach: $3.08
>1lb butter (NOT MARGARINE YOU FUCKSTICK): $2.04

That's $33.85.

The first week is going to be rough. You won't have meat (doesn't seem like you've been getting much of that anyway...), but the brown rice, beans, and eggs will provide your protein.
Assuming you don't have spices either, use the remaining $2 or so to pick up a spice blend like Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (a /ck/ budget favorite).

And you won't be using all of this in one week. Unless you're eating for five, you'll have rice, beans, and potatoes for next week too, so you have an additional $20 next week to spend on meat and spices.

For meat, you want something with a good dollar:pound ratio. Look for sales, but don't settle for some grey "manager's special" thing that's been sitting there since last week. Chicken is a good option, as is pork. Avoid pre-seasoned shit and never pay more for a brand name.

Spices are a buy once, replenish as needed item. You might have to wait until next week and save for them, because they're not terribly cheap depending on quantity. You'll want black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, garlic (minced or dehydrated), salt, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary (ESPECIALLY if you eat chicken, and you will be), and chili powder. Don't feel obligated to get it all at once, these are just what people would consider essentials. Ideally the herbs would be fresh and you'd be grinding peppercorns yourself, but ideally you wouldn't be poor either so... Once you get money, you can get fancy.

>>11448726
yikes!

Flour bleaching is done to remove the reactivity of caratenoid compounds (xanthophylls and such, not necessarily the poster child caratenoid, b-carotene), since these can oxidize during storage and result in off flavors and aromas, which people associate with a lower quality product. Thus flour bleaching has no significant effect on the overall nutritional value of flour or associated products.

Both sliced bread (or ANY bread you buy from the bakery section or you make yourself) and flour are starch, and specifically provide that macronutrient.

Despite your feelings and attitudes to starch/carbohydrates, the fact remains that they are important energy storage units for the vast majority of living things in this planet.

You should first define what an"empty calorie" is from your perspective, then make your argument. "Empty calorie" to me is a poor classification mechanism used in an attempt to educate fatties as to why their dietary habits make them fat. Quit being such an insufferable Facebook-posting YouTube/blog post nutritionist and maybe think about picking up some textbooks.

>>11448917
You don't need to cut on meat that much for 35$ a week.

>>11444294
University Fag here. Just eat a healthy balance. Try focussing on protein and veggies. steak, chicken, pork , Potatoes, Onions, spinach, broccoli. Most inst that expensive. Cut out the Takis n hotdogs and buy urself some cheap steaks and veggies.

Just cuck big dishes like potatoe stew that will last a couple of days. Cooking small cuck shed meals on a budget will be more expensive and will taste like shit.

>>11444294

I make 300$ a month from doing online work. Drawing and content creation. It's shit. It really is. Then there's nothing. I'm not on social welfare, even though I could be. I'm afraid if I walk in there unprepared they will eat me alive. But if I walk in there and tell them I've been a "content creator online for 8 years" they won't think I'm such a failure. But if I walk in and tell 'em I've been 8 years unemployed, but never signed up for benefits, they will just look at me as a pathetic piece of shit and offer no help at all or think I have prospects. I'm thinking of faking it till I make it. Take what I've made online and make a portfolio out of it. It'll be my "work", so to speak. I have 1 year of social service working (not jail shit, but it's the only alternative for military) in graphics design, which was my passion. I wanted to do graphics design, but I never applied to any jobs, instead I went into making videos online. I never took freelance work. Now all I have are 8k dollars in savings and a shitty online thing I can do for 300$ a month. I want to kill myself but first spend all savings into buying a gun to shoot myself with.

I suppose they will see me as a failure anyway since it's a government house. I think they'll see it as being unemployed for years anyway, even if I did work. They even look at working for that one year as "no work at all". They are brutal there and will talk shit to your face when you're down.

>poor
>$35 a week on food
How the fuck do you even do that? How can you be so fat that you manage to spend $35 every week on food even though you're poor? I hope that you're talking about canned food and that $35 is for a week of supply that will last for months, because otherwise you need to stop being such a fatass.

>Beans: $1.50 per can
You can lower that even more by not buying prepared, canned beans.

Just buy large bags of frozen vegetables. An 80oz (2.3kg) bag of frozen broccoli costs about 4 bucks. That's all I eat.

there's already a thread for this >>11446940

$35 per week ≈ $151 per month ≈ $5 US per day
that's easy. the problem isn't that you're poor. the problem is that
you're fantastically stupid and likely an inbred mouthbreather.

example:
breakfast yesterday was storebought, frozen waffles topped with butter
and homemade strawberry sauce. had it with some coffee with milk.
total cost for this serving: 95¢
lunch yesterday was pork-stuffed cabbage, vegetable mash, homemade
mushroom gravy and homemade cranberry sauce. total cost for this
serving: $2.31
i snacked on a prickly pear when i got home. total cost: 57¢
dinner yesterday was pasta with pumpkin, garlic and chili. total cost
per serving: 65¢
total cost of eating yesterday was $4.48, which is 10.4% under budget.
eight-to-nine servings of fruits and vegetables, depending on if you
consider 100g to be a serving or 85g

today, breakfast was storebought cereal with added chopped dried apple
and yogurt as well as more coffee with milk. total cost: $1.23
lunch will be storebought tendies in a spinach wrap with lettuce,
tomato, onion and dressing with a side of homemade Korean-style
marinated cucumbers. total cost: $2.60
dinner will be rice with cabbage, tomato and garlic, topped with
fresh-grated parmigiano stravecchio. total cost: 67¢
total cost of eating will be $4.50. six-to-seven servings of vegetables.

conclusion: you can eat good shit on the cheap, even convenience
foods, and still get plenty of vegetables, fibre and a well balanced
diet overall. but only if you're not an inbred mouthbreather.

Except this thread is older than the one you're linking, Mr. Dummy Dummy Dummy Dumb.

Oats and eggs

>>11445692
Lmao

>>11444294
Roast sweet potatoes. Set in fridge for easy reheating.
Toss some oats with a pat or two of butter or coconut oil. Toast in oven untill smells NICE. cool, pour into bag, set in pantry.
In morning warm sweet potato, top with fist full of toasty oats, (some flax/hemp/chia seeds, whatever kind of nut or sunflower/pumpkin seed, coconut flakes etc are good too if you've got em) then a small drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce and a bit of whipped cream on top of all the healthy shit.

You can also make your low-sugar higher protein granola w 2 c oats, 1 cup mix-ins (nuts seeds etc) and 3 large egg whites. (sweeten it to taste if you can't live w/o the sugar) Whip the egg whites up until soft peaks and fold the rest of that shit in there, and bake at 225*f for 80 minutes stir every 20 minutes.

Yes beans are good, and once your body gets used to them they don't make you fart.
buy 1 can beans, 1 can seasoned greens, and some eggs. Toast a whole grain bread (a loaf of walmart brand whole wheat is 1.09$ shut up about the cost) dry a fist full of canned beans w a paper towel and toss in a HOT pan with a splash of oil, cook untill they start to burst andf the skin gets crispy, toss a fist ful of the greans in the pan untill warm, fry and egg, pile it all up (in that order) on the toast, eat. you season the beans and grens as you see fit. I like smoked paprika and garlic beans and just a splash of lemon in the greens.

Fucking what? Is geriatric nursing different from other kinds of nursing? I thought nursing was a fairly well-paid profession that required at least a bachelor's level of education, not something like waiting tables or washing cars before a more lucrative opportunity comes along.
