Stupid shit "poor people" spend more money on alcohol in one day than I can spend for 3000 calories 200g+ protein

It just sucks more. But I lost my first 30 lbs eating canned bullshit and rice and beans. Protein is the hardest to fit in but if losing weight is the main goal it's definitely doable.

It's way better when you have money. More time to create better tasting food. Higher quality food that gives more satiety and leaves you feeling better. Fresh spinach salad tastes and fills you up much more than frozen peas and carrots for the 10th time for example. A good steak is more enjoyable protein than canned generic tuna or whey protein and oats.

>Is dieting while dirt-poor feasible?

I'd say it's mandatory.

I recently went to the grocery store and came to the conclusion eating better is healthier. I bought zuchinni at 69 cents per pound, cucumbers 3 for 99 cents, skinless boneless chicken breast at 1.29 per pound, 29 cents per pound for tomatoes, and 99 cents per whole pineapple. Granted, they were all on special but the point stands.

Meant to say eating better is cheaper.

You can eat hella cheap even without wallowing in legume hell -- eggs, chicken thighs, even olive oil crazy cheap in terms of calories per dollar.

beans, eggs, milk, oats, rice, all cheap as dirt.
The only limiting factor for poor people is available cooking time/equipment:
if they work more than one job, and don't have a car, they have next to no free time, especially if they also have a family. Oats and rice and beans take time to prepare, even if they are easy. They also require pots and pans, and storage. This stuff seems like a given to middle class people, but to the true poor person, these are serious up-front costs. Anybody who is say, lower middle class, however, has no excuse. If you have a decently appointed kitchen at all, and one day off a week, you can cut your grocery expenses significantly with a healthy diet.
I actually did out a spreadsheet comparing costs of food once, I'll see if I can dig it up.
