Can I still make gains and not die if I just eat rice, beans

>>38822406
rice and beans together form a complete protein, containing all the essential aminos, so yes.

getting jacked while poor isn't as difficult as people think. 50lbs of rice and similar amount of beans can be had for less than $100.

>>38822406
its ok, but you will hate yourself

>>38823020
Why? Bean and rice is fucking tasty!

>>38823005
Black beans by themselves are a complete protein. The rice at that point is just for cheap calories.

I would atleast add some carrots too, those are cheap

>>38823094
also, canola is dirt cheap and like 30,000kcal for a single gallon

>>38823106
This.
Add carrots, onion, and garlic. Much good. Cilantro too, and shit like various chili powders, smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric ....

All very good for your health, and tasty.

>>38822406
Yeah but get cheap chicken thighs as well

>>38823536
Yeah, just sip on some canola oil all day & you'll be good, senpai!

>>38822406
add potatoes
cheap and nutritious as fuck

>>38822406

I have been doing this and making mad gains the past few months. I love it. Add some avocado if you can afford it, and lots of broccoli and spinach. You'll make it senpai

Might as well just replace the rice entirely with potatoes, much better nutrition.

>>38823818
potatoes expire more quickly and are more expensive

>>38824473
What about instant potatoes? Are they still as nutrient dense?

>>38825376
No they're not even real potatoes

>>38822406
Dump peanuts on that and buy some mustards for vitamins and calcium and more poo gains. You'll be living the dream in a couple of months

>>38822406
Get potatoes, pork chops, chicken and frozen vegetables when it's on sale man, it's so cheap when things are on sale and much healthier than eating beans and rice

I just filled my freezer with chicken and pork chops for 23$ and got a bag of potatoes for 2$ and 3 big bags of frozen mixed veggies for 4$ and this will last me a long time

>>38822406
Been doing this for a long time, this is the recipe I always use

>>38825386
Why does the box say 100% real idaho potatoes then?

>>38822406
Get off welfare and get a job than you can eat real food........ I was on welfare and had to eat what you do and now that I have a job even though it's minimum wage I can eat 10x better than when I was on welfare

>tfw welfare gives you 640$ a month
>tfw minimum wage 40 hrs a week gives me 1680$ a month

I feel rich compared to before now that I got off my ass and did something

Black beans/cowpeas/kidney beans are complete protein,
peanuts are good source of fat and protein, although this one in particular is not complete. Pumpkin seeds present a nearly identical nutritional profile to peanuts with the difference that it is complete protein.

Arugula and Broccoli are best for calcium. Broccoli is delicious, but a significant amount of arugula isn't easy to eat.
Process something like 400g of arugula, eat it as a pesto, as topping or as sauce, it's nice.

You should pay attention to zinc too so you don't get easily sick.

>1700 $ minimum wage
where you live at,thats pretty high.

are you too poor to afford more?
look to buy on-sale meat
bone-in, skin-on, chicken breasts can be pretty cheap where im at, less than 99c per pound

one bag of frozen veggies is one dollar
eggs are also cheap
cottage cheese is relatively cheap as well

watch big on a budget, the first one, the one where the guy actually has a balanced diet including veggies

>>38823074
For real. There is a reason why 90% of the earth lives off of beans and rice

>>38822406

I'm not even on a diet, and I eat rice/beans with meat mixed into it a few meals a week. It's just good, and easy as fuck to make.

I FUCKING LOVE RICE AND BEANS
If you can get broccoli and string beans and steam it up with it, is fucking great. Broccoli is like nature's multi vitamin.

>>38826492
I usually just mix some cholula sauce into it

>>38826492
Hotsauce nigga

>>38826492
Eat it with a little meat here and there so you don't go insane.
Go nuts with the herbs and spices: Cumin, garlic, onion, cayenne, cilantro or basil, tomato, just whatever.

Oh, and don't forget your beano.

It's a pretty complete meal macro nutritient wise. But if you eat only that you'll run risk to suffer from malnutrition sooner or later.
Add in some cheap veggies, onions, spices. Milk is also cheap as fuck for the calories it contains.
