Im on a tight budget and I need to gain weight /fit/ I'm 6'2" 135lbs currently and I only have a budget of 60$ a month for food

What are good foods to gain weight on with such a tight food budget? I'm also in Ontario Canada so food is expensive compared to the states
>>
>>36494384
lentils
rice
beans
potatoes
eggs
on sale meat
>>
>>36494384
60 dollars a month? Do you mean week?
>>
move to a cheaper city fucking french fuck

to answer your question

>beans
>rice
>milk
>peanut butter
>>
>>36494436
No I mean a month as in 4 weeks
>>
>>36494487
>>36494384
not gonna make it. That's flat-out not enough money to live off.
>>
>>36494497
I don't lift I can't afford the gym I just need to gain weight, I've lost 60lbs in 5 month
>>
Dude wtf is going on man, Social services will give you money for food. Are you trading groceries for something?
>>
>living off $15 a week
>not even real dollars, Canadian dollars

You okay bruh?
>>
>>36494596
No its just all I have left after rent etc
>>
eggs 2 dollars a dozen
>>
I'd say you've got more to worry about at this point than being /fit/. When you only have $60 a month to eat off of you should probably see if you're eligible for food stamps or whatever canada has.
>>
>>36494663
I'm not worried about being fit, I need to gain weight because I'm losing weight fast
>>
>>36494679
Again, $60 isn't going to help you gain weight. Find whatever it is your country has for food stamps or something. I'm sure you qualify for it.

Also: That apartment is expensive as fuck. See if you can move into a cheaper one.
>>
>>36494679
Go to a local food bank, they may require you to do an interview but I think you will pass.

Dude you are literally starving to death
>>
>>36494722
I don't think we have food stamps in Canada
>>
>>36494750

Srsly, u gotta take care of this or ur gonna lose your gains breh
>>
>>36494781
Then fucking figure out something, don't bother asking us americans.

Listen to >>36494750 or any of the other dozen suggestions in the thread you keep ignoring and the thread you made yesterday that you completely ignored.

You're literally killing yourself right now and $60 is not enough to live off of. Go to a food bank, get on assistance, do fucking something.
>>
60 a month how's that possible
>>
>>36494384

you can go to smart and final and get a box of boneless skinless chicken thighs.

40 pounds for 31 dollars. you gotta invest a little into the next month, but for 62 dollars you will get 80 pounds.

1 pound of chicken thighs is roughly 1000 calories.

with 80 pounds of chicken, you will have enough for 2.6 pounds of chicken a day, which is 2,600 calories, just enough to maintain a bulk.

this is los angeles prices, idk about canada, but if your answer is
>FOOD IS MORE EXPENSIVE HERE

then make more money.
>>
>>36494890
Been doing it for months now man

>>
>>36495044
I make $200 after rent. I'm not rich, I'm just not stupid and poor.

> $25 for 5 lb bag of 5 lb MyProtein whey = protein
> $3 for big jar of peanut butter = fat, protein
> $5 for bottle of vegetable oil = fat
> $6 for 2 giant tube of oats = carbs (fiber)
> $6 for 4 lbs of dry lentils = protein, carbs (fiber)
> $12 for 6 lb bag of frozen broccoli = carbs (fiber)
> $57

Whey, peanut butter, and oats in varying ratios as Meal #1. Lentils and broccoli fried up, oven-roasted or whatever with the oil as Meal #2.

> muh flavor
> muh variety
Spices. A $4 little bottle of seasoning will last you a long time. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and make more money.
>>
>>36494722
As a Canadian and Ontario.
Lots of beans, lots of rice, and lots of eggs.
Buy beans and rice from an Asian grocery. Buy the cheap eggs are like 2.50 a dozen. 20 bucks for eggs is 3 eggs a day. 10 lbs of rice is about 10 bucks. Beans are around the same. 20 bucks left over. Spend 10 cheap about to expire ground meat. I can usually get 10 or so pounds on sale and then freeze it. Last 10 bucks on frozen veg. Hard to bulk tho.

Seriously. Go to the fucking food bank. They barely ask questions. If you are down that far, go get food. Even if its just a hot meal every week.
>>
>>36495091
Where the hell are you getting Whey off myprotein for $25?
>>
>>36494384

buy bulk wherever possible, but even in bulk you can have issues gaining weight on 60 dollars a month.
>>
>tfw living off of whey protein, milk, bread and 2 multivitamins a day

poor life sucks I know the struggle OP

I make 850 a month and rent is 760 a month
>>
>>36495365
>850
you kidding me why is your rent that high? I make 850 a month too because im studying and I pay 350 for rent. Find some place cheap.
>>
>>36495392
It's the cheapest I could find because other places are 650 but you have to pay heat and hydro and water
>>
>>36495412
get a roommate man
>>
>>36494384
>60$ a month
60 dollars a month, basically lentils, oats, quark/greek yoghurt as i believe it's what you have in the US..

That + theft + salvation army

How is security in grocery stores where you're from? Can you put x amount of things in a bag you brought with you and only retrieve half of x?

Don't get life-cucked by petty morals and do it.
>>
>>36495440
There's only 1 room it's a bachelor apartment
>>
>>36495491
lmao dude you're making so many excuses the point is you can't continue to rent that place it's too expensive for you!!!! move out of there and share some other place with a roommate
>>
>>36495561
>it's too expensive for you!!!!
It is obviously NOT too expensive for him.
>>
>>36495613
It is when he's literally working just to pay rent and has no money for anything else but food

That would be a shitty life not being able to ever go out and do things
>>
>>36495613
having less than 100 a month for himself means he definitely can't afford the place he's living at
>>
>>36495613
hes literally an unexpected 100$ expense away from being homeless lmao
>>
>>36495613
Nigger, the rule is you should be making around 3 times what your rent is.
>>
>>36495412
also you are losing tons of money not paying separate for utilities, not like the landlord is willing to take a risk and absorb the cost if the utilities ever go over 200$ a month. If they ever lost money on rent they would def pay you a visit and tell you to cool it.
>>
>>36495793
How's that possible, I'd have to be making 3500 a month
>>
I make 4500€ after taxes and I'm lazy (plus, I don't eat meat way before the filthy vegans got all the hype)
Pretty much what >>36494399 suggested, minus the meat (meat is either 1) shit (if cheap) 2) costs too much; in both cases some time is needed to cook it)
So, all kind of legumes (lentils, fava beans, beans, red beans, red lentils, green lentils, giant lentils, organic soybeans, chickpeas, black beans...) (half a kg of mixed dry mixed legumes cost ~3 €, you just leave it in water for 8 hours before steaming it)
Plus, rice and/or whole grain pasta
Plus, potatoes
I'd say salad, but goddamn I don't know if it's expensive in the Glaciers of Canadia. I can grab 500g of mixed salads @ 0.70€
Cauliflower, broccoli (e.g. 5 broccoli are ~ 2.50 €)
Rather than meat, scomber scombrus (usually cheaper & healthier than tuna)
Drop coffee and choose tea, it usually costs less
Carrots
>muh proteins
personally, with a diet similar to this one I get 125~135 grams of proteins/day (I add some walnuts, pine nuts and so on, but those are probably not considerable in your budget)

>>36495793
Maybe not 3x, but 2x is a good rule of thumb for sure. It's also depends on various trade-offs (e.g. better alone spending 1/2 of your income @ 24+ rather than spending 1/3 of your income and having to share shit)
Rent = wasted money anyway, if it's not a really temporary solution it's like throwing money in a toilet
>>
>>36495793
U wot m8? Maybe in 1970 that was possible but these days people are lucky to be able to pay rent and Internet and food each month
>>
>>36495893
where the fuck do you guys live...when I graduate I plan to continue living in a one bedroom and then my rent will probably be 1/10 of my income.
>>
>>36495950
I'm in Ontario and can somewhat relate to OP

My rent is 1300$ a month and I make 1650 a month, if I miss a day or two of work a month I'm fucked
>>
>>36495853
Then you're living somewhere too expensive
>>
>>36495853
Are you trolling or are you this stupid all the time?
>>
>>36498161
Rents not cheap, if someone only has to work 2 weeks to pay rent they're living the dream
>>
>>36499514
If you can't pay rent by your first check of the month, you're spending too much on rent.
>>
>tfw almost all my spendable money goes on alcohol

it's not cheap drinking in Canada, I spend almost 35$ a day on alcohol and I only make 680$ every 2 weeks
>>
another ontariobro here.

>850 a month @ ontario minimum wage 11.25
>around the 11k 0 tax bracket, so lets calculate without tax for simplicity
>850/11.25 - 75.5 hours a month
>roughly 4.5 weeks a month, so lets say even with 4, thats 20 hours a month

So youre basically trying to live by yourself in a solo apartment on a part time job. Found the problem. Are you in school? Do you have a separate job?

I'm assuming you're an adult otherwise you wouldnt be living on your own, so what are you doing with your time that you cant work more than 20 hours a week for. I think you have some bigger issues/reasons than why food is only 60 a month...
>>
>>36494384
Don't you have foodstamps in Canada?
>>
>>36500752
I live in bc and never heard of food stamps
>>
>>36499984
Iktf
>>
>>36500790
Food assistance for the poor? We call them food stamps but it's really ebt now. They used to be actual stamps.
>>
>>36500830
I've never heard of that here either, there's welfare which gives you a total of 650$ a month but that's not just for food that's your total monthly income and you can't get it if you work
>>
>>36495442
>Can you put x amount of things in a bag you brought with you and only retrieve half of x?
What does this mean? Can you elaborate?

>>36494487

I'm in Toronto, OP and you haven't lived a day in your life if you think you can survive off of $2 per day. I'm dirt poor and my diet is terrible - just oats, cheese and the occasional tin of tuna. 1500 cals/day. No fruits/veggies. Take a multi. Even this starvation diet will run you more than $2/day, and you want to bulk for less? Ain't gonna happen.
>>
>>36494641

Advertise for a roommate, or seek ads posted by people seeking roomates. You need to cut rent costs and get a part-time job, bro.
>>
>>36494781

You have social welfare. Go online and find out what services can help. If you're that poor, the government will help. I used to be on it myself when I was a starving student eating out of food banks (which is another option for you).
>>
>>36495491

Move the fuck out.

Rent a room in a house, not a full self-contained apartment.

My room costs $460/month. That includes free wifi, shared bathroom/kitchen, laundry. The other people in the house are nice folks.

Couple million calories in a litre of petrol op, take a teaspoon a day

Potatoes + oil (colza, sunflower). Good luck OP.

This guy gets it. Don't complain about poverty if you are working less than 60 hours a week. That's your own fault.

That's amazing. I'm a conservative, and thought that Canada was progressive. I'm all for food stamps so long as they go to those who actually need them, not hoodrats with the latest phone and fake nails and the like. This guy needs some sort of assistance if he only has 60 bucks after rent.

>>
>>36494384
>60 a month

wow that's barely enough for a week if you want to eat anything decent
>>
could we get any confirmation on what sort of benefits are available in Canada for poor people to eat? I just can't believe there is nothing there for the working poor? What about rent assistance? Anything? I mean I live in America and we are always being laughed at for not having free healthcare, but you can get subisidized housing, food stamps, wic if you got kids, social security disability (harder to get), cash assistance, I mean those are just federal programs. Lots of states have money too. I just can't believe that Canada doesn't have the same if not better services.
>>

This thread again!
