I have to plan my meals carefully and they aren't always the most appetizing, but I'm definitely not dying.
I wouldn't chose to live like this at all, however as I plan to ditch the poorfag eating lifestyle when I get a job that pays more money

>> No.11749312

Personally I don't like beans.
For me, a decent poorfag meal is rice + vegetable
with those vegetables being either stirfried with aromatics or roasted.
A bulk bag of jasmine rice is the staple.

For example, in NZ where groceries are expensive, at my local chinese supermarket, i can get a head of brocolli for around $1.50, 2 heads of bok choi or gai lan or choi sum (chinese greens) for $1.50.
Any of those, stir fried in some garlic & ginger with some chilli paste & a little soy sauce, on some fluffy sticky jasmine rice, makes a very decent, tasty, cheap, healthy meal.
A cabbage is only $2, and that will stretch to 4 large meals. Carrots are almost as cheap as well. Onions are extremely cheap. Potatoes are cheap.
Spinach, cauliflower, bell pepper, green beans, zucchini etc are more expensive, but sometimes i can get good deals.
Fry or poach an egg to have as well on your rice and you've just improved a meal
leftover rice can be made into fried rice with eggs, frozen peas, carrots.

Fresh ginger & garlic & chilli paste are what I splash out on.
A whole chicken is around $15, and portioned up, is around 6 decent portions of protein, plus the carcass for stock. So if you're smart and have a freezer, 1 chicken could be the ideal amount of protein for 3 weeks, take only $5 out of your budget every week, and add flavour to your meals.

I make my own cereal just by roasting oats with sugar and oil, which is extremely extremely cheap per calorie and serves as breakfast and snack. You can splash out and make it nicer with dried fruit, spices, or nuts.

I honestly don't think $30 has to mean eating unhealthily, or even boring food. And your money probably goes further.

yeah lol, food is way more expensive here.
although i do only buy free range chickens & eggs because i think they taste better and battery farming is unethical
so it's more like $10-12 here, with a good deal, if you don't care about that.

But I don't think a rotisserie is that cost effective for one person, because you're going to want to eat it all within 1 week, and raw meat will portion and freeze much better, and go further. 1 chicken a week, even if that's the only meat you're eating, is not really thrifty or necessary from a health perspective, unless you exercise a lot.

And cooking it yourself will mean you can impart more flavor into the rest of your food with it.

lol what

also yes, you could eat that much meat, but what is its nutritional purpose? Primarily protein, and unless you lead a quite active lifestyle, you really do not need that much.
Really its main purpose is to make your meal taste good, and precooked meat is not effective at doing that, because you can't really impart flavor into the rest of your dish while cooking it, like you can with regular uncooked chicken.

and remember my perspective is that chickens are $15, not $3, and op isn't american either.

I pulled a lot of the chicken from a rotisserie for finishing leftovers, and it was only ~ 1/2lb. / 224g.

Sorry but I find this attitude towards food and nutrition kind of repulsive and offputting. Because I actually like food and I like cooking. You're making it clinical. I'm almost certain that I eat more healthily than you as well, because I put my effort into eating a wide variety of vegetables and fruit.

The real irony is that what you're doing only really makes sense, either for elite athletes, or people with health problems, namely people trying to lose weight, and it's far more likely that you're the latter.
In general I think it's a cold and depressing way of viewing food, which fosters an unhealthy relationship towards it. Whereas I love cooking and eating and doing it in a healthy way is only natural.

There is actually a board to post adds for whey though.

Pasta e fagioli, recipes for it everywhere, what peasants in Italy ate for like a thousand years.
Beans on toast, see Gordon Ramsay youtube vids or other cooking vids on this, a $3 chunk of pancetta or bacon makes it very rich
Braising things... like buying the cheapest cuts of meat like drumsticks or stewing beef and making a tagine out of it. Recipes everywhere

To really cheap out buy frozen veggies like peas, and when your rice cooker is finished you toss in a cup of peas, stir, and in seconds they're done. You now have peas and rice.
