This is similar to Sven Yrvind's philosophy on eating at sea.
>I will eat twice a day, breakfast and lunch four hours later.
>...
>I say, “Cows only eat grass and wolfs only eat meat”
>Modern society is so boring and there is so much food that we have to be stimulated by spices and chefs and different foods to eat. At sea in a small boat its different. Life itself out there is so interesting that I do not need stimulants.
>My breakfast consists of one can of sardines, one slice of dense dark rye bread and muesli.
>...
>My lunch is the same as breakfast but no sardines.

- ip26 5y agoSounds like starvation rations…
- nabogh 5y agoI agree the food itself is pretty bleak. But this resonates with me because I have a fond memory of a rushed meal after a surf with my father. We were on a camping trip so all we had in the car was two small cans of tuna and some multigrain bread. After getting out of the water and feeling completely exhausted, there was something satisfying about slapping the contents of the can onto a slice of bread and biting into the most basic meal imaginable.
- goostavos 5y agoDon't sleep on the canned sardines. They never stop being good imo. Their high protein and fat content makes them really satiating. I think they're the ultimate food if you're dieting. Since gyms were closed, I cut for about 4-5mo at the start of lockdown. Everyday for those 5 months: sardines. Never got tied of 'em or felt like I was on horrific starvation rations.
- Hnrobert42 5y agoBe careful eating tinned fish that much. My cousin became very ill in university - losing hair, losing weight, sleepy all the time. They tested her for everything. Eventually they realized she had high levels of mercury from eating a tin of tuna daily. Sardines might be okay because they are smaller, so they bioaggregate less.
- throwawayboise 5y agoSardines are small short-lived fish. They don't accumulate mercury the way that larger predatory fish such as tuna do. Sardines present a much lower mercury risk.
- nhooyr 5y agoAppreciate the tip. It does seem like a really good dieting food. Definitely going to buy some tomorrow.
- ip26 5y agoI wasn’t complaining about taste- it sounds like no more than 1200 calories a day (although it would depend a lot on the can size)
- ericjang 5y agoContrary to popular belief, cows have been known to eat small animals / meat for extra calcium or protein supplements https://farmhouseguide.com/do-cows-eat-meat https://farmhouseguide.com/do-cows-eat-meat And vice versa, wolves also eat plants sometimes https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/feed-your-dog-like-a-wolf/#:~:text=Adult%20wolves'%20primary%20source%20of,and%20berries%20or%20other%20fruit https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/feed-your-dog-like-a-w....
