Me personally? I could probably make it years on beans, rice, and greens if I had to. Collard greens, rice and beans, oil and spices to season them, and onions.
So glad I don’t have to, but if I had to choose that would be it.
With enough body fat, sprinkle in a bit of electrolyte and maybe vitamins and that’s all you need.
I remember reading of a supervised case like that, many months, if not a year. I couldn’t find it with a quick search.
I’m pretty sure I read/saw a more recent case. But this serves as a good source/proof too. Thanks
Fortified soy milk, vegetable oil, popping corn and chaat masala. Apples would be nice too but not vital.
Egg-bread & scrambled-eggs ( with a multivitamin every other day ) can get you FAR, ultra-cheap ( if you ever need to get through a month on nearly-nothing ).
( obviously this isn’t long-term, this is short-term-survival stuff )
add-in carrots, if you can.
A bit of broccoli makes a BIG difference in one’s health.
Do what you can to get some omega-3’s into you: our bodies can’t make them, & if our bodies have to make omega-6’s & omega-9’s, apparently they just run mitochondria backwards, to do it.
Even a tablespoon of olive-oil / day will help your body keep functioning.
Assuming stuff like vinegar or salt doesn’t count?
Rice
Chicken breast
Cheese
Pasta noodles
Tomato sauce
Soy sauce
Does Soylent count as 1 item?
god I miss Soylent. Cooking/eating is a huge burden for me (depressed and lazy) so I drank the heck out of Soylent when I was in the US. Now in Japan the only thing close is Calorie Mate and it’s not nearly as good/nutritious. :(
I pretty much live off energy drinks and rice rn.
My dude, do you need some easy recipes? That can’t be good for your mental health.
No.
I need money to be able to afford better food.
Energy drinks are expensive, health and money.
Redbull and Monster are expensive. Venom and Unbound Energy are less than a dollar.
A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals
Too bad I only have $3. Cooking my rice in Unbound Energy instead of water.
I’m not sure but i guess milk might be fine.
Consider how babies live off entirely milk for a few months, i guess it has everything they need. There might be a difference between cow/human metabolism or adult/baby metabolism though.
human milk probably does better than cow milk just saying
maybe nutrient-wise but not for my bank account :(
That depends on the results you want. Cows milk is absolutely amazing at helping your little heifer gain 600 pounds in the first 6 months of life. Do what you will with that info.
I know this is Lemmy and all, but, uh, beans.
bread
Potatoes, butter, salt, molybdenum.
oatmeal, rice, beans, tomatoes, spices, broccoli. each of those foods is truly non-negotiable for me and without one life is not worth living. thanks.
Eggs chicken rice mixed greens broccoli
You can survive off any single food item for some non-zero amount of time. Nothing we know of can allow you to survive forever. The question is always: how long?
Long enough to die of something other than a nutritional deficiency.
Cyanide
