What's the simplest and cheapest nutritionally complete meal? "Nutritionally complete" as in it could serve as a full diet.

Pic not really related. I know it isn't rice and beans.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 13:13:46 2015 No.6887162 I once was told you can (theoretically) survive from only potatoes and eggs. I sure could have such a diet for a long term.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 13:14:04 2015 No.6887165 Variation is the most nutritionally complete. Buy foods like brown rice, whole wheat pasta, (sweet) potatoes and dried beans in bulk, add vegetables and good meat when it's on sale once in a while. Don't look for a single meal.

I'm thinking more from a theoretical perspective. Mental exercise kind of thing.

I think potatoes, rice, and beans would even each other out pretty well. Most people aren't considering the really cheap greens like collard and watercress, though.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 15:26:29 2015 No.6887573 >>6887214 I mean that they would create a nutritionally balanced meal when eaten together. Beans are great, but they're not a complete source of protein and most don't have any vitamin A, B, C, or D.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 16:01:18 2015 No.6887696 >>6887573 >not a complete protein Sure, but they still have all the essential amino acids, just not the right amounts of each. If you're just eating beans you'll get enough protein.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 16:06:12 2015 No.6887719 Greens, greens & more greens. Throw an egg in there & some fats, if yoo can spare the dime.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 16 17:00:04 2015 No.6887895 >>6887145 One would, yes. The best is oats, milk and potatoes. Look it up.

There's literally no reason to incorporate greens into your diet if you're concerned about finances.

A diet of varied grains (oats in the morning, rice/taters/pasta at night) and beans will provide you with sufficient fiber and any trace minerals you need.

Vegetables are literally a hoax - if they don't add to a meal, don't bother wasting money on them.

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 17 01:31:56 2015 No.6889432 >>6889154 Vitamin K. Tough to find without greens or a LOT of potatoes and beans. A bag of frozen peas is also cheap and tasty and rounds the nutrient base out well.
