That means you blew your 3-day food budget on half a chicken. That's just not nearly enough calories for 3 days. I'm not doubting you're able to afford chicken on that tight budget, it just seems that you're using it more like a condiment, rather than food.
- delinka 8y agoYou don't get all your calories from the chicken. And yes, it's more like flavoring. You round out the meal on veggies and maybe some simple carbs. The US fascination with a protein-heavy diet is, uh, fascinating.
- pakitan 8y agoI'm not from US, I didn't imply that he must get all his calories from chicken and I'm not the one who brought up the chicken in the first place. He seemed to imply that chicken is a significant part of this diet and it simply isn't possible on such a budget. That was my point.
