Walmart sells 25 pound bags of flour for 9 dollars. 80 dollars will keep you fed on bread for about a half year at 2000 calories a day. Much longer when you start cutting your caloric ceiling.

You cannot live for 5 months on 80 dollars buying instant ramen or other pre processed foods. They are simply too expensive.

Go to a food bank if you're actually this poor because that's what they're designed for. Although there's nothing wrong with learning how to live with less.

one pound of flour = 1650 calories

>https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-All-Purpose-Flour-10-lbs/122814298?athbdg=L1600

3.64 dollars for 10 pounds.

5 months = 150 days

15 bags = 54 dollars = 150 pounds.

so the staple of your diet would be flour, 1 pound a day. 26 dollars left.

>https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Vegetable-Oil-1-gal/10451011?athbdg=L1600

9.12 dollars for 1 gallon. buy 2. 120 calories a tablespoon giving you 12,000 calories. That's another 80 calories a day. so you have 1730 calories per day of flour and oil.

You have 7 dollars left.

>https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Plain-Salt-26-oz/10448311

700 gram of salt 62 cents

>https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Granulated-Sugar-10-lbs/10314931?athbdg=L1600

the last of your money goes on 10lbs of sugar

I think it's doable without dying. You'll be eating around 1800 calories a day of flour/water/salt/tiny amount of sugar and oil. Over the months you'll be in a calorie deficit and will consume your body fat. You will suffer vitamin and mineral deficiencies but I don't think it will get bad enough that youll die.

In the glorious country of Germany. The dog of the states, the dog of Ukrainian. You are not even allowed to go fishing without passing an elaborate test and study beforehand. At least they switched it to online so you pay 600-800€ for the study material and only visit the place where the test is taken. Test cost extra. If you want to fish at a lake you can go to the city hall and ask for permission this obviously costs extra if they allow it. It's a shit show.

Chicken broth is for adding to the rice to give it some salt and flavor, beans for protein, vegetables will help you with vitamins, fiber, and potassium. The multivitamin should fill in any gaps the veggies can't fill.

First of all, go apply for food stamps and visit some food pantries for variety OP. But:

>50 lb bag of rice from an Asian grocer.
Rice is cheaper at Asian grocers. If you have one, it'll save you money to buy your rice there that you could use elsewhere. Unfortunately I have no idea how much rice you're going to need to last for 5 months. I strongly recommend freezing the rice for at least 48h (at that quantity, it might take longer) and putting it in a solid plastic or glass container with an air-tight lid after, because the first will ensure no eggs in the rice can hatch, and the second will ensure no new eggs get in. It won't make it inedible if bugs do get in, but you don't want to be stuck picking out bugs from rice.
>Dried lentils, beans, and split peas
As much as possible.
You could also get flour and make bread using water and leaving it out to proof for wild yeast. But personally, I think your best bet is rice in terms of satiation and nutrition at your budget.

Hopefully you have bouillon, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, spices, hot sauce, and salt in your pantry to make meals a little more palatable. If not, this is where you start getting condiment packets while you're out - at least salt. Ideally, if you could spring for it, bagged root vegetables like onions, potatoes, carrots, sweet potato could help get you a little more nutrition and variety. But I do not think that trying to stretch the first two for 5 months and adding in those root vegetables is possible. You also don't need perfect nutrition if it's "only" for five months, but trust me you're going to want to be fixing this as soon as possible. I don't know why you're in this kind of situation OP, but go to a food bank, soup kitchen, Church, or something, and get onto food stamps. This is not enough money to live on in any degree in a stable way.

Dry pasta, potatoes or rice. Depends heavily on your location which is the cheapest option. Add a little bit of salt too.
You'll survive but it won't be fun. Once you start getting low on vitamins and other nutrients it will be hell the likes of which you can not even imagine. 5 months might be short enough time to avoid that, not sure.
Instant noodles has never made sense as poverty food and tuna hasn't been cheap since the 90's. I do remember the time in my chosen european shithole when a can labeled as "tuna" was the cheapest single item at the supermarket, now it's one of the most expensive things per kg.
Skip meals at the beginning if possible. Only eat once the pain becomes unbearable, you should be able to regularly do a few days without food before then.
And most importantly, no you're not going insane. That's just your body screaming on the inside as your brain is slowly withering away from the lack of nutrients. Told you it wouldn't be fun. Trust nothing and no one.
I'd honestly recommend stealing over starving. Have you looked at what your local foodbanks and religious communities are offering for the poor?

>I’m not sure how they’re getting away with it.
E-verify is very intentionally not enforced. Many large food producers, like Tyson as you mentioned, will work hand in hand with law enforcement to bring in illegals then bus them out as soon as they're eligible for raises. Then the same people come right back up. A big part of why food is so cheap in the US is that we abuse the shit out of illegal labor. Personally I'd rather pay Americans real money to do the work and keep the foreigners foreign but whatever.

Yeah. It really pissed me off. The Mississippi Delta is hands down the poorest part of our country, and Tyson was pulling that shit. Under Trump, love him or hate him, Mississippi had the biggest single-state ICE raid in history raiding Tyson. The day after the raid locals were lining up to either reapply for their old jobs or to just try to grt a job. All this nonsense the media peddles about “they only take the jobs nobody wants to work” is corporate propaganda. Exploits the illegals while leaving locals to starve. Even in the Mississippi Delta of all places. Yay America.

your body synthesis all the vitamins it needs except for vitamin C, as long as you are getting a supplement of necessary minerals, minerals which are in sufficient supply in your tap water- and american flour is even fortified. Even then, your body will leach the minerals from your teeth and hair before it impacts your bones or organs. Scurvy requires SEVERE dietary vitamin C deficiency, a daily multi-vitamin reduced to being taken only once a week will cover all the bases.

Your body largely just needs energy to survive. You'll die a LOT faster due to a lack of macronutrients over micronutrients- and micronutrients are actually really easy. You can die so fast due to a lack of macronutrients that you can literally starve to death with ample fat and muscle still on you, and you're likely to be so weak leading up to your death you're at risk of not having the energy to do anything about your impending death. This is why foods such as oil (I think lard might actually be cheaper per calorie, not sure) are incredibly useful- nutritionally, it's ACTUALLY what you need.

This is really off topic but I remember how the management started making sure everyone was legally documented the day after the election in anticipation, and it kicked off a huge wave of local hiring.

many enzymes require certain elements to function.
chemical elements, i mean.
for example, magnesium is required for various DNA repair enzymes. selenium is involved in thyroid hormones. iron, obviously, in your hemoglobin.

there is a huge number of minerals required for functioning, and their levels in soil will depend on where you live.
you can certainly function with lower levels. imagine your body only has the magnesium to make half as many enzymes to repair DNA. your DNA still gets repaired, it's just that your body will accumulate damage faster. years down the line, the effect could manifest as cancer, or decrease in organ function. your eyes might not work so well, from accumulated errors in the cells of your retina.

i just mean to illustrate there's a wide spectrum, between being able to maintain life, versus satisfying all your body's needs.

Most people drastically overestimate the amount of micronutrients they need for both. I'm "flour oil multivitamin camp" anyway, it's by far the cheapest method of obtaining micronutrients. They wouldn't need to be taken daily, and the price should be somewhere close to $0.05 per count. Even at ONE a day for 5 months, the cost shouldn't exceed $8 or $9.(Unfortunately multivitamins are taxed unlike other staple food items).

[Anonymous No.19141838]

>>19141807
>Most people drastically overestimate the amount of micronutrients they need
to an extent. many micronutrients are needed in truly tiny amounts or are otherwise ubiquitous.
magnesium being the most poignant where this isn't the case. you'd want nearly half a gram of elemental magnesium per day, and that just cannot be crammed into a single pill with everything else. it's present in a lot of foods, but not in the levels required to meet all the demands of the body.
even things "high in magnesium" aren't particularly high in magnesium.
an entire cup of almonds, ~400mg
2.5 cups spinach, ~400mg
1 kilo of oats, ~300mg
5 cups of rice ~400mg

yeah i agree multivitamins are cheap, and i'm late to the thread anyway, i don't know what the solution is.

Text clearly says its only if you take almost all calories from lean protein. There is no problem eating only rabbits as meat, if you eat everything else like grains, vegetables, nuts and so on. Just look at all the /fit/ guys eating chicken breast (also lean like rabbit), rice and brokkoli.

Your kidneys will typically excrete only 120mg of magnesium a day. The claim that a person needs 500mg of ingested magnesium per day to maintain a balance based upon the idea of fractional digestive uptake is probably intentionally bold- the disadvantages of ingesting a lot of magnesium is a lot smaller than ingesting too little, and it's not hard to get dietary magnesium. In reality, the typical body won't need that much.
And in the atypical scenario of going 5 months on $80, the kidneys will probably excrete lower amounts of magnesium.
Even so, there is 25mg of magnesium in 100 grams of flour(approx daily intake in calories), 100mg +/- 20mg of magnesium in a multivitamin, and another 9mg on average per liter of tap water.
