What state do you live in? You can just live with me. Are you single? I make a lot of money I know this is weird but whatever I don't know what to do anymore.

>>15814171
Dutch babies for breakfast
deenz with toast and garden veggies for lunch
Spinach and lentil soup + some stew meat like pork bellies or a cheaper cut of beef for dinner.

keto is the way if your poor, a major reason being that you don't really feel hungry so one meal a day is entirely possible

Potatoes and sardines, but if you absolutely need to hit your micros you will be eating more calories per day than you need (you need to eat about 2800 calories of potatoes plus a tin of sardines, to hit some micros)
However, you don't need to hit your micros. You can be vitamin deficient for a couple of months without much risk of lasting harm, by which point you can probably diversify your diet a bit.

Literally just boil the potatoes and throw a can of sardines over them.

If you have a slow cooker, rice and beans is easy and cheap. Throw in some occasional and veggies and stuff if you have extra money.

Kinda boring after a while though.

big ol can of black beans
eggs
frozen spinach and other vegetables

>>15814234
I meant to say meat amd veggies.

>>15814184
Thanks for the weird but lovely offer. However, I don't live in the States. Best of luck finding something to do

You need variety, eat cheap and in variety.
If anon says eat lentils, next time is potato and next time is eggs.
When in season things like potatoes and onions are absurdly cheap.
Have seasonings (pepper, chili, thyme, garlic, cumin etc.) and alternate between canola, sunflower, olive, cream, bacon. Also have bulk tea.
Go to soup kitchen or whatever, get food handouts once a month, be ashamed, then not ashamed, then ashamed again.
If you're a complete failure and can't manage even this, ask homeless to share their food with you.

Check food banks, the cheapest food is free. Try to get canned stuff if you have a choice. Canned is pre cooked.

ah yes for cheating I do like rice plus blood sausage. the other cheat is absolutely anything, and fried eggs on the side. Eggs make a chick grow inside them. They are an extreme superfood. Can be hardboiled on expiry date. If you have questionable meat or food cook it longer.

Chickpeas, rice, lentils.

Frozen Veggies, chopped frozen spinach.

Learn to process (cut apart) whole chickens, make use of your freezer.
That was my life when I was basically poor and in college.

My wife and I live off less than 100 dollars a week on groceries, and we eat quite well.

The key is you need to make a budget of some sort, what sort of money we talking here that you can spend a week?

>>15814509
... if your food is really questionable, throw it away too.

Depends where you live but i would recommend buying rice and (dry) beans in bulk (like 20kgs). Just soak the beans overnight and cook them the next day with the rice. Buy whatever you want with the rest of your money.
Also: stop pretending to be a girl. I believe in you bro

Ground beef with milk or cream to drink will give you everything your body requires to not only survive but thrive.

>>15814750
>no fiber

The most nutritious poor mans meal is rice beans, and spinach, seasoned with salt.

>>15814790
You don't actually need fiber to survive.
I don't think rice is nutritious in the slightest, at least not white.

>>15814806
>You don't actually need fiber to survive

No, you don't. But it fills you up and it is digested easily. Beef and milk are also expensive comparably.

>>15814883
Eh fair point. Not a life I would find worth living though, eating that food alone.

>>15814184
Where do you live in the states? Your reply got my curiosity

>>15815029
South Carolina, big house near the woods. I make a lot of money and want someone to live with me. no sex thing. Internet and rent is provided, sometimes I need help with chopping wood and/or buying groceries. once in a month my girlfriend visits for the weekend. that weekend you need to go to a hotel or somewhere else.

>>15814298
I'll move to the states if you can organise staying there

A big bag of rice and a rice cooker. Beans.
Salt, oil, cheap vinegar and soy sauce, bay leaf, a whole chicken, eggs, carrtos, onions, cabbage,

Come be my braphog i’ll feed you

Make a big pot of stew for about $25 and eat off or for a week. Serve over rice to stretch it.

>>15814171
make your own soylent, unironically.
i did it for a year in college.

>>15814171
Soups are your friend, just dump, set, and forget. Only drawback is the sodium, but you draw out all the nutrients needed. If you don't care about deeper work like peeling, browning, etc. it's incredibly easy. Curry is on par if you buy the blocks. Can stretch a few meals out of a pot esp. with bouillon. Other obvious fast options like pasta, salads, etc. will keep you full but are not really nutrient or calorie dense in their respective cases.

Something with protein (chicken breast, canned tuna, beans, cottage cheese, ...).
Something with carbs (rice, potatoes, pasta, ...)
Something with fiber (frozen vegs will do just fine)
Two liters of water per day. No soda shit. Water or unsweetened tea/coffee.

Protein will be most expensive. The other stuff is fairly cheap, especially if you buy in bulk. I lived like that for a few years during undergrad when I had to make do with 3.50 €/week.

>>15814171
rice, beans, veg, eggs and spices for you own sanity.

if you live in the uk, id recommend going to the asian supermarkets to bulk by everything, a lot cheaper.

good luck not staving/ killing your self

>>15815123

a veggie, meat and bean stew over rice is the poorfag essential. If you have an oven you can just throw in a chicken along with some potatoes and veggies and roast that. soups are also very based

Rice and beans, frozen veggies, eggs, liver(100-150g once a week), sardines/canned mackerel, chicken breasts, oats, milk, tuna, onions, any kind of meat you can afford(although this is the most expensive part of my list).

I usually never spend more than 20-30 minutes cooking unless I'm making something special. All my meals are in the vein of
>rice, veggies & eggs + whatever meat I'm eating that day
>oatmeal with eggs as a side
>noodles with tuna and eggs
>crispbread with sardines/mackerel

Lentis, spinach, sweet potatoes, eggs, garlic, onions, and potatoes. Carrots, parsley, broccoli. Fish a couple times a week. Chicken when you can afford it. Red meat once in a while.

I think that cheap carbs are dangerous to eat if you're depressed because they're easy to overeat.

Roast then make stock from the bones

Who the fuck boils an entire chicken

>>15816472
>legumes
Why not call it vegetables??

>>15816890
It's easier and faster to boil meat than other methods.

>>15816843
replace garlic and onion with garlic and onion powder. Replace spinach with collards. Skip the potatoes and get another chicken.

>I don't care about variety. Can eat the same thing over and over
Potatoes and dairy will last you a long time. You can even poke wholes and microwave potatoes to get something resembling a baked potato. Ask the irish or this landwhale who lived over 30 years on just potatoes and cheese.

Chances are you are most like a mentally ill homosexual man and not indeed a 20 year old woman as you claim in your post. Recommended calorie intake for a grown man is 2 thousand depending on how active your lifestyle is.

Thanks!! Interesting stuff.

>>15814171
I just checked my local supermarket's website - I live in the NYC area, so high food prices too - you can get a 50lb bag of rice for $22, 4lb bag of beans for $6, and a 3lb sack of onions for $1. That's about $35 per month for at least 2/3 of lunch and dinner for said month. Breakfast, too, if you don't mind eating rice & beans for breakfast, but that would make it about $52ish/mo if you ate that for every meal.

Get cheap meats like pork shoulders (usually $1-1.50/lb), or chicken thighs ($0.70-1.20/lb, etc) if you aren't vegetarian/vegan/pescatarian and dark greens like kale, collards or spinach if you are (usually under $2/bunch either one). Or get those anyway. Either way, with a 1/4lb rice, 1/4lb beans, 1/4lb meat/greens and half an onion for every meal, we're still talking like, $80/mo.

Food stamps/ebt will cover you if you're that broke

Good nutrition will fix depression. Happiness and fulfillment come from drugs in the brain. They are produced by the fuel you eat. Eat good, feel good. Eat shit, feel shit.

Find someone who has a costco membership that you can mooch off of and buy a rotissary chicken when you can afford it. Cooked and tasty for $5. save the bones in your freezer to make bone broth once you save up enough bones from like 4-5 chickens. chop up and add the chicken meat to high carb stuff like noodles or rice to stretch it out if you really have like no money.

The best option if you really can barely afford food is to not care about nutrition too much and just make sure you will be fed until you can save some money. Eat beans/rice/potatoes/pancakes and starchy high-carb shit. You will be full and then buy eggs and some cheap meats like liver and roasts and ground beef.

Long term best option is buy a big chest freezer and start buying your meat as half or whole animal. Most butchers charge a flat per lb rate for the whole animal which is a lot cheaper than many cuts of meat. Buy only cuts of meat that have a cheaper flat cost than the whole animal.(usually only organ meat and tough cuts) Eat liver at least one meal every 3 days and eat a lot of organ meat. Eat a lot of eggs. Eat a lot of fat(tallow/lard/butter/suet) Buy fish when it's cheap but you don't need it since you get more than enough omega 3s from organ meat. Once budget stops being a big limiter start growing your own food and buying organic grass-fed food to avoid the estrogens and toxins in many animals from soy based feed and hormones/antibiotics/vaccines they give them

The cheapest possible diet is dried red lentils, a multivitamin tablet and a cod liver oil tablet. You'd be fine for ages.

>pasta
>jar pasta sauce
>mixed frozen vegetables
>medium can of tuna in oil a couple of times a week
>cheap red wine for your miseries, in the jar sauce if you're feeling frisky

Pretty much what got me through student days and it's a step up from rice and beans with salt.

>Rice/pasta
>dried beans
>tinned tuna
>eggs
>whatever vegetables you can acquire/grow

>>15814209
fpbp. rice and beans may be cheaper than keto foods but eating once a day and not being hungry will save you money overall.

>>15818712
buy cheap cuts of meat like chicken carasses and necks and boil them into stock, you can fortify just about anything with the stock

>>15818746
Look for the cheapest form of each ingredient
Sometimes frozen, pre-prepared, fresh or blended will be cheaper.
The food jew constantly shuffles these around to confuse the goyim.

This week I found that pork sausages were cheaper than mince, despite only being 80% pork

>>15818712
>beans allow you to eat less/no meat

Consider making food in bulk and freezing portions to reduce waste.
making everything on one day means you have all the scraps to make stock on the same day.

You dont need it to survive. But fiber is great for a filled up feeling and long digestion time, so you dont get hungry as fast. Not to mention soluble fibers aid in digestion and make your stool pleasant to pass, and not a pain in the ass.

>>15814171
oinions, spuds, brusell sprouts, carrotts any other veges you want. chicken drumsticks, curry powder and garlic. one cast iron pot around 1 gallon or 3.something litres.
heat some oil brown onions and garlic. add two cans of tomatoes, diced or whole whatever. add all the potatoes and vegetables and shit maybe chuck inna can of lentils or beans. then put in your curry powder. let it go for a bit get a boil or something. lacerate the drumsticks and chuck them in. add bit of water not much if any the drumsticks will add their water if shitty supermarket ones. cover reduce heat cook till sloppa (couple of hours). stir every now and then to help cartilage and meat fall off bone.

I had a similar question as well but I need an ultra brainlet guide because "I can't cook".

Rice and bread: cheap and ez, use as filler
Eggs: rice + egg + ketchup / bbq sauce is my fuckin jam but apparently you shouldn't live off those hence my question
Milk: yes

Fruits?? whatever in season? (juice vs whole fruits?)
How do I handle meats and veggies? I have literally no experience with these.
What about beans? What's the most brainlet way to make them palatable?

Preferably I'd like to spend less than $30 a week.
I need to stop leeching off my parents' cooking even if they bulli me for acting like I have a budget of a starving African.

Since micronutrients will be difficult for you, I recommend a prenatal. Take it with a meal that has at least some fat. Keep it next to your computer so you do not forget it. Prenatals are a good multivitamin for all women in their fertile years, and more economical than supplementing each vitamin separately.

>>15814171
Eggs, steamed broccoli, bananas, baby carrots, pasta, plain greek yogurt with frozen (unless fresh is cheaper) fruit, granola if you don't mind reading labels, beans (canned is more suitable if you are depressed), and if you can find cheap cheese, that's also good.

When I was a younger man I would routinely eat rice, vegetable, and ground pork; all purchased from my local chinese grocer. I would flavor the pork with sriracha and chinese olive vegetable and serve over rice with w/e veg I felt like. It was around $2 to produce a 3k calorie meal.
