What is the bare minimum/cheapest diet you can live off of without being malnourished, or still receive at least most of your needed nutrients?

Milk, flour, and vitamin balls? Rice, beans, and spinach? Just tuna and eggs? What about just peanut butter and seeds?

> live off of without being malnourished
For how long? If you mean for life, there's no simple answer, you just need a complex, and possibly varied, diet.
Any cheap retarded "eat this and that + vitamins" could work for a short term diet, but after years you will probably be irreparably sick.

State of the art nutrition science suggest
> ~2500kcal
> 50%:60% from carbs
> 20%:30% from fats
> 10%:20% from proteins (or [0.5g:1g]/kg)

- Drink 2l of water a day (or more if you sweat)
- sleep 7/9 h a day
- do at least 30 min (but the more the better) of moderate/intense physical activity

And also
- eat seasonally, and lot of fresh vegetables (raw and cooked) and fruits with peel on
- prefer proteins and fats from vegetable (legumes, bread), then from animal derived source, then from meat
- your meat preference should be fish > white meat > seafood > red meat > ... > cured meat
- if you are goind to eat red meat, choose organs like liver and hearts
- eat regularly fermented food (yogurt, kefir, pickles (not the store bought), sauerkraut, kimchi, ...etc)

Meats minimum twice a week for iron and other related things. (Can be milk)
Greens once a day.
Rest can be whatever the fuck you want, noodles, flour, rice, knock yourself out.

A sample grocery list would probably be like:

1,000g milk powder
1,000g ground beef
5,000g pasta
60 ramen packets
2,000g cabbage
3,000g flour
Packet of cocoa
1,000g sugar
Packet of baking soda

>> No.16473850

>>16473817
also
- use always iodine salt, or eat seaweed (with extreme moderation) to cover iodine
- drink a small glass of wine or a glass of beer while eating
- smoke a cigar/pipe or a cigarette, 2/3 time a month
- be careful to not drink tea near your meal
- always soak your legumes


This should make you live long and (possibly) happy

Just shop for the cheapest foods you can for each category in the food pyramid. It might vary depending on season.
Usually it'll probably be:
bread/tortillas/potatoes/pasta/rice
eggs/chicken/beef/tuna
carrots/lettuce/onions/cauliflower/beans/peas
oranges/bananas/apples/strawberries/grapes
milk/cheese/yogurt

>> No.16475015

depends what's in the supermarket

cheapest grain/starch/sugar/carb (could be rice, bread, oats, banana, potato etc)
cheapest protein (eggs probably, milk, tuna, chicken, meats on special)
fats (eggs, milk, butter, oils, peanut butter)
various shit to not kill yourself (salt, cheap vegetables/frozen, pepper, ramen for treats)

it all depends on what's for sale and what's cheap around you. you could probably live a very long time on just rice beans and eggs, might need iodized salt and some vegetables every now and then

You can get a crate of 60 eggs for around 7 usd. Milk is also pretty cheap if you just use it for cooking instead of drinking.
You can buy a packet of yeast and cultivate it with some flour. Flour is also pretty cheap. You could start making your own bread at that point.
Bulk shortening and bulk peanut oil are some cheap fats for cooking and baking.

For nutrients, just look for cheap stuff in the produce sections. Sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, etc.

Cheap kcals: Rice
Cheap protein: Beans, chicken, eggs potentially fish (frozen is cheaper)
Cheap fat: Buy fucking oil or some shit.
As for veggies get stuff in season. Not the shit in the store, but the stuff the farmers can't sell because it doesn't pass as "A-quality". At the market 30 minutes before closing you can often get fresh produce much cheaper.

Realistically the cheapest is probably dumpster diving, but assuming normal shit then the above. Chinese fried egg with tomato, chili, rice, beans are all piss cheap.

16487718

Proteins in humans are made of chains of approximately 20 different amino acids. Of these amino acids, 11 of them can be manufactured by the body, changing one amino acid into another. 9 of them cannot, and have to be consumed in food for the body to use. These 9 are the “essential amino acids” (EAA)

A “Complete Protein” is a food that contains significant quantities of all 9 EAA.

Black beans contain a large amount of protein, and by themselves are almost a complete protein — black beans have, but are low in quantity, of one EAA, methionine.

Corn, on the other hand, has a decent panel of amino acids on its own, with a good level of methionine but a low level of lysine.

The combination should present a “complete protein”.

However, the idea that you need to eat a complete protein at every meal is somewhat discredited. It is important to get all the EAAs in your diet, but there is no need to make sure that they are all present in every meal.
