Exactly the list I had when eating as a poor student. I still eat plenty of oats with plain yogurt for breakfast - they are an excellent breakfast food. The great thing is you can also scale their cost to your wallet, i.e. 100g of plain rolled oats plus 400g of full-fat yogurt comes out to around 1USD (0.25c for the oats, 0.75c for the yogurt here) and delivers about 600kcal total with very good macro profile. As your budget increases you can get increasingly fancy with olive oil, nuts, spices, cheese, etc. It's a very versatile food. Just don't fall into the trap of eating it with sugar when you're poor - you want to pair the oats with a lot of savoury fats so it keeps you feeling full for longer.
- dgfitz 2y agoWhen I was poor I skipped breakfast. $0 cost.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoThe cost is 600 calories or so that you'd need to make up elsewhere.
- dgfitz 2y agoSo like, 2 20oz cokes?
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoOr a couple spoonfuls of sugar.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoSure, if that's the kind of macros you're looking for
- dgfitz 2y agoMy point was: your point was useless. How many poor people care about fucking macros? Edit: man this irritates me. You brought up macros, when talking about being too poor to eat. Open your eyes.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoYou need to relax a little bit. Maybe if you ate some breakfast you wouldn't be so grumpy. The point was that you can't escape the need for food. Skipping a meal is not any kind of strategy, unless your plan is to slowly starve yourself to death. I guess if you literally have $0, and no credit card, and your paycheck is tomorrow, and there is zero food in your fridge or your cupboard, and you have no friends that would give you a bite to eat, and there are no soup kitchens near you, then skipping a meal could make sense. Was that your circumstance? But, if you have 1500 calories in your fridge for today, skipping breakfast and eating 750 for lunch and 750 for dinner is one way to do it. You could also eat 500 for breakfast, 500 for lunch, and 500 for dinner.
