if you're too lazy to cook rice you can just eat rice krispies instead. carbs is carbs. also minute rice takes no effort if you have a clean pot. while actual rice is harder and takes a while and you'll probably forget about it on the stove and burn the house down.

your probably depressed about being poor so you're not about to go making yourself some elaborate recipe. but eating convenience foods costs money. the best you can do is a happy medium where you reduce costs as much as possible without having to wash a bunch of plates and pots and pans and spatulas to stand in front of a stove cooking for someone you don't even like.

sounds like a lot of effort, having to load everything into the machine and out and clean up anything it leaves behind and keep the machine clean and then it probably breaks down anyways because it was designed to. its heavy and you need to pay someone to help you carry it into your next apartment, if there's even room.

Disregard all the retards ITT

You can eat well if you know how to cook, but it takes a while and there's a bit of a learning curve plus you have to slowly acquire cooking stuff. But once you learn it's a skill for life and you can get everything you need for under $1000.

You want to eat mostly protein and vegetables, with a small amount of carbs and some fruit.
Ground beef, turkey, tuna, pork shoulders and beans are all cheap and versatile. Check out the non-white grocery stores or butchers, sometimes they have stuff super cheap. Unless you live in the hood you should be able to find fresh vegetables and fruit cheaply. Eat what's in season. Try farmers markets but beware people upselling the exact same produce.

Avoid all premade stuff, stick to raw ingredients. They're cheaper and better for you.

This works very well when you are bit overweight:

Eat only once a day. Or once every two or three days.
It's hard at first, but after a while you will get used to it. You will realize how efficient the body is at storing and using fat reserves.
Fat is super high energy. 1kg of fat = 8500 Calories.
So if you have 10kg of overweight, you can in theory roughly last 50 days without food.

A nice side effect is you will reduce your food budget by 75% easily. Instead of grocery shopping every 3 days it will be once a month. #intermittentfasting

im pretty sure this thread just cured my depression through the miracle of comparison. you frens need to learn how to cook for yourselves. here's a spaghetti sauce recipe. you can make 4x these amounts in a giant stock pot and freeze a months worth of sauce

Finely grate 1 large carrot, and finely mince 1 large onion, a large stalk of celery, and a whole lotta garlic. Onion and celery are too fibrous to grate well
Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a skillet
Add the onion to a pot along with some of the rendered beef fat. Cook until it starts to brown

Add beef to onion along with the carrot, celery, and garlic.
Add about a cup of red wine along with a cup or 2 of chicken stock along with some oregano, bay leaves, basil, and thyme.
Add a large can of crushed tomatoes and a small can of tomato paste. It should be a loose consistency and easy to stir.
Allow it to simmer and reduce for 1-2 hours, stirring every few minutes
Add a few tablespoons of cream.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

All you need is a fridge and a microwave.

Frozen food generally has low nutrient loss, and a microwave makes stuff easy to prepare. Get a glass bowl, so plastic discharges don't turn you into a tranny.

What works well in microwave:
frozen fries
frozen fish, meat (as long as its thin)
frozen vegetables

really almost anything except bread, pastry, pizza

Thats fine bro economies of scale are a big part of why healthy food is expensive. This would be cured super unhealthy food was not the standard and operations for healthy food had to scale up.

A little backstory on my reasoning:

There was a cult near where I live that had a bunch of land and were pretty much self sufficient. The feds busted them for marrying and fucking 14 year olds but when this happened they called my uncle in who is a doctor to examine all of the kids from this cult. He was telling me about it and went on and on about how magnificently healthy these kids were who lived their whole life eating food they grew themselves on this land. He said there wasnt like a single health problem out of the lot of them and they all were fit and had clear skin etc. It really makes you think like bro we are poisoning our children with sugar and shit. Its not right.

You don't have take time to load it, since any dirty dish goes straight in there when you're done eating -- like the way people leave dishes in the sink.

They only need cleaning once a month at the most, and it takes a couple of minutes to pick out the filth, followed by running it on a cleaning cycle.

The main problem is that they don't always clean every dish completely. Occasionally you will have to finish a dish by hand.

Overall, I suspect the amount of hate they get here to be fox-and-the-grapes territory.

Cheapest local options for me (LCHF, carni) are eggs and butter - usually 6--7 w/ ~150g, or mince and lard/butter, ~250--300g.
Cheaper still is liver, but you can OD on certain vitamins, so it's shouldn't be a daily, there's also kidneys, brains, and other internal organs sold cheaply.
