>How the hell do you guys eat this crap?
Being poor doesn't leave you with much choice.

I eat 'super noodles', curry flavour, and I assume they're similar. I eat them because they're cheap as fuck, and easy to make to make. Three minutes in the microwave with some hot water, and I'm set for the day.

Well, it seems we've broken through the illusion that anyone eats ramen noodles for any reason other than the fact that they're cheap as hell.

Ramen noodles: Just barely passable enough to choke down on a budget!

>>4499516
supernoodles are not cheap as fuck by a long shot

Combine noodles with shit like eggs, onions and other good stuff, shit, dude.

I go with curry. They're pricier, but not so much. Plus I add them with rice and I basically have a full meal right there.

>>4499566
>broken through illusion
What illusion? When has anybody ever eaten them for any other reason than the fact they're fucking cheap?

throw in an egg or some vegetables

better yet just eat the vegetables by themselves

there's other cheap food out there that's actually healthy for you. oats. potatoes. carrots. bananas. do your research.

>>4499582
I mean god damn it's not that hard just mix it up faggot, the vegetables are barely 10 cents too.

I happen to like instant ramen. Funny thing is, it's actually more expensive than some of the meals you can prepare yourself.

I add a bit of margarine or oil to it. Fat helps to bring out the taste. Also tomato sauce. But I do that because I make my noodles with a lot more water than the usual amount. Your mileage may vary.

Am I the only person that just eats the noodles in the hard block? It's like eating a big cookie.

I don't eat ramen.
I buy raw chicken breast and sometimes fish, depending on the prices, along with different fruits and or vegetables.

Is something like that expensive for you guys?
I've always thought it saves me money, and it's more enjoyable to make it myself.

>>4499629
I don't get it, why do we suddenly owe money to anontalk

>>4499661
you think spambots come cheap?

The only two edible flavors are pork and oriental. Stay away from all the others. I like to add a hard boiled egg or whatever kind of leftover meat I have to mine.

>>4499659

Apparently you've never been really poor.

>>4499659
What if 2 dollars is your budget for a week of food.

>>4499658
I used to do that too.

I like instant noodles, even without adding anything special even tho I usually use them when I cook something else as well.
Too bad the cheapest ones are ~0.4-0.5€ here ;_; it isnt even the cheapest shit you can get, some cheap-ass ''pizzas'' are 0.6€ and you can get 4 meat pies with 1€, etc.

>>4499658
Tried it once after seeing my brother do it so much, didn't like it.

>>4499686
That's right.

>>4499692
2 dollars, really? That's harsh. You can't live off 2 dollars.
I imagine you budget's higher than that.

You can go downtown and search the ground in busy places for change to buy ramen.

>>4499739
>2 dollars, really? That's harsh. You can't live off 2 dollars.
I imagine you budget's higher than that.

2/10 - try harder

>>4499739
that's the wrong answer anyway. Any kind of "instant" food such as ramen costs more and is worth less

My grandma comes over to my apartment almost every day and cooks for me.

I grew tired of the soup long ago, so I just use the noodles for random stir-fry or whatever. They're cheaper than most other noodles. I now have a collection of the flavor packets to use for other things.

Where I live Ramen is about 10-25 cents each.

Stop eating the shitty flavor from the shitty brand

>>4499575
In Tescos, each packet costs around 50 cent.

>>4499749
At least where I live, $2/week would be impossible. Even if it was 2€, it'd still be impossible.

>>4499770
This, it make them taste better

STOP SPAMMING WWW. ＡñＯN+ａlＫ .COM U FUCKEN CHAN TURD'S

Honestly, I like Ramen.. All flavors of it.. I don't see why people hate it so much. I love that shit :3

I'm pretty certain $2/week is impossible.

I do recommend checking out the blog of the guy who lived on $1 a day. From what I remember it was rice, beans, generic Mexican hot dogs and some other shit. He could've saved even more money if he didn't splurge on unnecessary crap like peanut butter.

>>I do recommend checking out the blog of the guy who lived on $1 a day

LINK PLS

>>4500445
yeah, even here is the uk $2 would probably be doable

Reported for /ck/

$2 a week is impossible in any western nation, unless you're getting handouts from shelters and food banks.

$15 for 1 week is easily doable if you're an average sized person. A fair sized bag of rice, a dozen eggs, some frozen vegetables, a loaf of bread can be had around my way for about $10. That leaves $5 for other cheap minor items such as beans.

stop eating japanese shit try superior korean noodle

>>4500518
>implying you need all that shit to survive

Wow anon, you sure are uneducated about your own body.

>>4500539
0/10

Just because you're a fat shit that has mom cook him dinner doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't appreciate a healthy and balanced diet coming from more then 2 food groups.

who buy ramen ?
buy Yumyum instead you fool

>>4500518
I know from experience one can live off just rice and cheap vegetables. I'd easily go below 2$ (going by current exchange ratio) if I had to. Thank god I was never THAT poor.

>>4500518
On extreme weeks, I can pull off a 1.50 a week
though I don't even eat much if I don't feel like it, which leaves me a week only having dinner

>>4500530
I always liked this one the best.

>>4500589
It's FUCK heug.

>>4500518
no

noodles like ops, ~10p each - 7 packs of those, 70p - other 60p on bread+beans

>>4500594
it's corean

>>4500580
You can "live" off of it, but all you're getting is carbs and vitamins. No protein, no calcium etc. You need balance.

>>4500553
You lost me. And my mother actually works unlike your fat whore who can't move out of her bed, so I cook for myself.

Anyway,
>>4500518
>$2 a week is impossible

Impossible - as in you would not survive.

The human body can survive 3 days without water (which is freely available even if you don't pay your bills, at water fountains and such in almost every developed nation.

The human body can also survive with NO food for a week straight. This also means that you can survive on barely anything and/or complete shit daily (shit thats not even worth a dollar) without having any sort of risk of death.

It is 'impossible' to say it is impossible to live without bread, eggs, rice, and all that shit, unless you're a complete moron - then again you are anon, so I shouldn't be surprised.

>>4500596
Not healthy

>>4500615
>healthy

herp derp quick retraction

>>4500596
10p each? Must be store brand noodles, I guess? Anything even remotely branded is like 3 for a pound here for the cheapest.

>>4500604
$2 a week is not sustainable. You're also missing the point, which my suggestions were for a cheap and balanced diet.

What I proposed is long term sustainable. Go ahead and eat nothing but ramen every day for year, and nothing else. Post the results for us.

>>4500530


I eat Nissin, costs 0,50 € here and tastes good enough.

>>4500518
ahahaha...

http://wimp.com/momfamily

The people here saying they could live off $2 worth of food a week are probably eating $5 worth of food a day

>>4500653
Unlike the idea in the thread - I actually have money and don't need to eat garbage to survive.

My point is that the human body can and will survive on that amount of money and it is far from impossible. You're the one missing the point - as 'sustainable' does not mean 'comfortably and healthily live' it means at the very worst - survive.

The human body can easily - painfully and unhealthily sure, but it CAN sustain you for a prolonged time (for fucking ever, not including sicknesses and such you may get easier due to your health) as long as you stay hydrated (water every 3 days at the very least) and have a few scraps a week.

You don't even NEED ramen every day - you could live off of eating it 2 times a week. You won't DIE.

You'd be fucked up - but you would not die.

Sustainable does not mean comfortable - don't use words you don't understand.

>>4500684
I shut off the vid the moment it said coupons. Not always available, and differs from area to area.

>>4500704
keep watching the vid. most of the coupons she get are from online sources that work anywhere in the US.

>>4500600
It's perfectly possible to balance your diet using just vegetables. Millions of vegans do it every day. It'd probably take a lot more work than just buying some frozen shit like I usually do, I admit. But it is possible, probably even below 2$.

>>4500704
>>4500704

I would be really ashamed to do that. I'd probably have a breakdown knowing the cashier would be really pissed to scan all that shit, and making everyone in line behind me wait for an hour.

>>4500689
I'm afraid you don't understand.

> you could live off of eating it 2 times a week. You won't DIE.

2 packs of ramen is 800 calories a week. Are you for fucking real? Are you that stupid or just that desperate to troll? You'd be dead in 60 days max, a normal person without stores of body fat sooner. IT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. 1 month is not "sustainable"

Concentration camp prisoners were getting 300-600 calories a day and most of them died within a few months.

>>4500747
oh and it's in english. Not japanese raw

Cook/nuke 1 block of Ramen as normal, maybe on the soupy side.

Add 1 can of tuna (in water--drain if in oil).

Enjoy.

>>4500760
Depends on lifestyle - the Jews didn't exactly get to hang out and chillax in a healthy living environment other than the lack of food.

So your point is invalid. Try again when you learn more about the human body and are over 15 years old.

>>4500779
Go ask a doctor how long you can survive on 2 bags of ramen a week. You brought it up, burden of proof is on you.

>>4500779

>>4500794
>>4500796

>burden of proof

The problem is I don't care if you believe me or not - so I need not prove anything.

The ones claiming I'm wrong are actually the ones with the burden of proof - as you are trying to disprove what I said. This isn't Umineko and real discussions don't work the way they do in some little picture book you read. If you want to keep claiming I am wrong then it's your job to prove I'm wrong, not mine to prove I am right.

>>4500813
Its simple. Go eat 2 bags of ramen a week and prove your point. /jp/ with thank me when you're dead in a month.

>>4500747
>>4500763
Thanks Kordox. I appreciate that!

>>4500835
Again - it is not my duty to prove my point, it's yours to prove me wrong since you are so vehemently claiming I'm not correct.

Not my job to prove otherwise - as I know I'm right. I don't need to prove to myself that I'm right.

The one disagreeing with someone is the one who has to prove their point correct so that the one who says "this is true" and is supposedly wrong will realize "wow you were right"

So stop telling me to prove myself right, I know I am, I need no proof of that.

If you want to prove to me that I am incorrect, you better start doing what you suggested to me and prove to me that you won't last.

>>4500847
>as I know I'm right
But you are not.

listen, bub. you can't just run around making statements and insisting that they are true just because no one is willing to waste time to prove you wrong. Rule of thumb is to prove your point beforehand, or else no one will take you seriously.

>>4500889
According to Anonymous (you) you have to prove things when you are right too - or else you are automatically wrong!

So sorry, but because you are not CurryButt !CIELBE/jzM you aren't in the position to not prove yourself. I clearly explained why I will not explain myself - but you are Anonymous and so you must follow your beliefs, those beliefs are that if you are 'right' you must prove it.

The argumentum ad ignorantiam is committed whenever it is argued that a proposition is true simply on the basis that it has not been proven false, or that it is false because it has not been proven true. A qualification should be made at this point. In some circumstances it can be safely assumed that if a certain event had occurred, evidence of it could be discovered by qualified investigators. In such circumstances it is perfectly reasonable to take the absence of proof of its occurrence despite searching, as positive evidence towards its non-occurrence. - Copi 1953

>>4500847
How many calories per day do you need to survive?

Between 1500 and 2500, but see below.

This depends on your mass and necessary activity level, since each unit of mass ( kilograms, or whatever you wish) requires calories to both remain living and to function at a given level (for example, muscle tissue or your brain).

Setting aside the important point of what the calories consist of (vitamins, minerals, etc.), an average American female (5'4", 164 lbs) needs just under 1500 calories per day for a very sedentary existence (i.e., just surviving WHILE maintaining the SAME MASS).

The typical American male (5'9 1/2", 191 lbs) would need 2430 calories daily to survive or "Maintain".

To just stay alive, it really becomes a matter of how many calories below these numbers each day and how long the reduced calories are endured.

For example, reducing the calorie intake by 500 per day would reduce the body mass by about 2 kilos per month, or 1 lbs per week (all things remaining equal).

Once body fat reduces drastically, the remaining portions of the body would be consumed by the most vital organs/systems until enough damage occurred to cause cardiac arrest directly (likely), or contraction of a common illness which would in the body's weakened condition lead to other complications and death (more likely).

>>4500952
>The typical American male (5'9 1/2", 191 lbs) would need 2430 calories daily to survive or "Maintain".

Wat. I eat less than 2000 calories a day and I'm still a fatty. I think you are full of shit.

>>4500955
I don't need to

>>4500967
Protip: Stop eating your own shit. It contains calories as well.

>>4500600
Rice and vegetables both have protein; vegetables have calcium. Most Americans eat way more protein than they need. Countries that consume the most dairy also have the highest rates of osteoporosis, so it's not like chugging milk actually makes your bones stronger.

Many societies live on mainly carbs and vegetables, with meat as a condiment or side dish. They end up with much lower rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Somehow Americans have the idea that carbs=evil and you can never have too much protein.

I've been living off of ramen for years and im perfectly healthy although i do take vitamin supplements.

>>4500986
And I don't need to prove you wrong, so both our truths are right.

You are not anonymous so this is an acceptable outcome to me.

Ramen and Cereal, food of the poor college kids

I eat healthy because I have a well-paying job and no debt.

>>4500967
He is.

A stereotypical overfed first world person probably really needs those calories at his current metabolism rate. That does not mean someone who's used to lower calorie intake cannot sustain himself on said lower levels. Human body can adapt to a lot. Not everything, of course, but in the long run, what you really necessarily need is a small percentage of what average citizen of your country burns every day.

>>4500967
Most people don't sit on their ass all day and do nothing

>>4501042

>>4501002
>And I don't need to prove you wrong
Indeed you don't, unless you want to argue that you are right. In which case you will require some kind of evidence to support your claim.

atm it's all :opinions:

>>4500952
You can slow down your metabolism by gradually reducing calories, and eventually be able to survive on much less than what a normal person could. It's hilarious that there's so many people trying to "speed up their metabolism" when the truth is that a fast metabolism is indicative of an inefficient system and people who actually have them don't live as long as they would otherwise. It's like wishing your car got 1 mpg.
Look up calorie restriction; it's way too extreme for most people but it will be interesting to see what it can do once they've done more human studies.

A 180 pound male burns 617 calories a day on body functions while sleeping the recommended 8 hours a day.

If you slept 24 hours a day and kept your body at the bare minimum levels thats over 1800 calories a day.

2 bags of ramen a day, let alone a week will not provide you with 1800 calores a day. If your body doesn't have the energy it needs, it shuts down and you die.

>implying I wouldn't do this if it was forced anonymous

Do you fags really think I, or any other tripfags you 'hate' would disappear simply because they have no trip?

If anything it would make things worse - as I'd be unfilterable and you couldn't ever reply properly as you'd have no way of knowing 100% its me.

So the board would be full of a 'bunch' of shitty anonymous rather than one shitty tripfag.

It's because you guys are so stupid that I don't need to prove I'm right.

>>4501090
>implying trolling anonymously is any better than trolling with a tripcode

sure is troll in here.

I am not a doctor but it seems like common sense that eating under 1500 calories a day (you'll use that much just sitting around THINKING, your brain actually burns a lot of calories) is going to get you fucked up.

2 packs of ramen per week might be doable for a few months but it is a bad, bad idea in the long run. Eventually your body will start consuming itself.

Yeah...I'm gonna go eat lunch now you ignorant fucks. And no, not ramen.

I've heard a lot of people complain that they're fat because they can't afford to buy healthy food, or that it takes too much time to cook so they just eat junk food.

It really doesn't take that much effort to eat healthy. You can cook rice, frozen vegetables, eggs, and tons of other stuff with just a microwave, and it doesn't really take more time than heating up one of those microwave dinners. If you have a stove you can make your own soup and freeze it in individual portions for convenience. There's plenty of options for cheap, healthy, convenient food if you just do some research and experiment a little to find something you like.

>>4501169

Hi I'm fat and I eat instant noodles because I find them tasty. Yeah, somehow. The fact that they're cheap helps too, even though this is Brazil and each unit sells for something around 0.6 US dollars, and everyone goes euheueheuhe on that.
Shit sucks.

>>4501272
Thats still quite cheap. Here they're about 0.5€ (some places sell for a bit less and some even more) and they're still pretty cheap compared to many other things.

>>4501290

>>4501341
that's due to the difference in the two economies right? wow.

>>4500847
>>4500813
That's not how burden of proof works. Just because you can't be bothered, and are sure that you are right, doesn't exclude you from it. Otherwise you just have two sides saying,
"I'm sure I'm right."
"Well, I'm more sure."
"I'm the surest!"
"Nuh-uh, I am!".

And so on. Now, the reason why you are the one expected to provide evidence to your claims is due to the fallacy of demanding negative proof. To put it simply, X is not proven simply because "not X" has not (or even cannot) be proven. Since you are the one making a bold, positive claim (you can survive on such a low number of calories), it is your responsibility to provide something to warrant that claim.

I like ramen a lot. Asian food ftw.

Step 8: get a big bowl and eat it.
