Hey /fit/. About to be very poor, looking for cheap food options

>>40066186
rice and beans, peanuts (relative to caloric content), some cuts of meats go on sale often and are pretty affordable on a budget, buy in bulk, grind, freeze, always hunt for sales, some seasonal veggies

>>40066186

Buy offal. Cheap and got some great protons and good things inside it. Roast hearts after you cpr some marinade into them are great.

beans, lentils. make huge salads with them or cook them with rice. cheap as hell and good carbs and protein. eggs too.

>>40066460
Probably because it's too hot.

>>40066186
ignore everyone.

chicken quarterlegs are by far. byyy faaaaar. the cheapest way to get proteins. find some Mediterranean shop/butcher that sells them in bulk.

i get 10 kg of quarterlegs for 13 euro.

that is 22 legs
-12100 calories.
-1210 proteins.

thats 100g of protein per euro

>>40066562
Maybe not the cheapest for everyone not living by that exact Mediterranean butcher shop

>>40066186

Milk
Eggs
Tinned Tuna
Tinned Sardines
Chicken Thighs
Beef Hearts
Goat Meat
Greek Yoghurt
Cottage Cheese
Beans/Lentils + Wholegrains (rice typically)

Shop at Asian/Middle Eastern food stores and butchers (most medium sized and above cities in the West have them), European food stores like Lidl & Aldi, farmer's markets, local independent butchers & fishmongers with deals on.

Dietary cholesterol does not affect serum cholesterol.

This was proven in a 2012 study done by the USDA.

In general, beans taste sort of like little potatoes (starchy) but more savory, and with thick skins. Depending on the type of bean and how you cook them, they can be firm, soft, or creamy.

Try some black beans. Everyone likes them for their smokey flavor.

>>40068110
mushy. Yes atleast the bigger ones. Try kikpeas too

>>40068110
Decent with brown rice, chicken, broccoli and somekind of hot sauce. Just throw a can of red/white kidney beans in with your next rice dish, I'd probs drain out the bean precum in the can though first.

>>40068004
>Not much better
Bullshit, lean poultry and fatty fish is rarely linked to worse health outcomes.

>>40068274

"More chicken and fish" as in adding more of these to your diet to make up for eggs isn't a good solution. Half a pound of white meat has about as much cholesterol as an egg.

Health guidelines for meat consumption limit even white meat to no more than 6 ounces in a day, not just to keep cholesterol low but to help control blood pressure. Beans on the other hand help keep cholesterol and blood pressure low the MORE you eat them, so it's a good idea to get a significant portion of your protein from them.

>>40068337
>"More chicken and fish" as in adding more of these to your diet to make up for eggs isn't a good solution.

That's clearly not what anon meant.

>Half a pound of white meat has about as much cholesterol as an egg.

The 300mg of cholesterol from enough white meat to hit ~100g protein increases your LDL by a whooping 6mg/dl

http://www.bmj.com/content/314/7074/112

Inb4 you post the hopkins paper, he didn't even take into account SFA effect on hepatic LDL receptors. The closest he came was a table with trials which used a 1:1 SFA:PUFA ratio, which solely relies on the fact 1g SFA downregulates as much as LDL receptors as PUFA upregulate.

>help control blood pressure

>Inb4 you post the hopkins paper

I still gotta do it, because that paper made the very important point that baseline consumption matters. As the Clarke paper says, the 6mg/dl reduction (which isn't something to ignore anyway) is in relation to "the average British diet"

http://www.ibcmt.com/2009-03-16-EffectsOfDietaryCholesterolOnSerumCholesterol-PaulHopkins.pdf

>he didn't even take into account SFA effect on hepatic LDL receptors. The closest he came was a table with trials which used a 1:1 SFA:PUFA ratio, which solely relies on the fact 1g SFA downregulates as much as LDL receptors as PUFA upregulate.

The studies went up to as much as a 5.4:1 ratio of PUFA to SFA. When studying the effect of dietary cholesterol, as long as you keep the fat ratio the same before and after, it doesn't matter for the results. Do you think it should be rigged so that when they do the cholesterol feeding, they also change the rest of the diet to try to diminish the change in cholesterol?

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1440-1681.2008.04899.x/full

Certain amino acids, fiber, and potassium in beans helps lower blood pressure. Heavily salted canned beans probably won't do much though.

>>40068724
>>40068433

Here's that study with the 5.4:1 PUFA:SFA ratio

https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abstract/19671401052

>Cholesterol intake and serum cholesterol seemed to be linearly related, an increase of 100 mg in the diet giving a rise of about 5 mg%;
>that effect was independent of the effects of type of fat.
> It was concluded that the most effective diets for decreasing serum cholesterol would be those relatively high in total fat, with a small proportion of myristic and palmitic acids, especially the former, a high proportion of polyunsaturated acids, and low in cholesterol.

>>40068724
>"Welp. Time to start eating more chicken and fish." How else could that be taken?

I read it as in place of.

>relation to "the average British diet"

Which consume on avg 300mg of CHOL a day. Plug it into the graph. The drop in LDL would be far far greater than 6mg.dl

>Do you think it should be rigged so that when they do the cholesterol feeding, they also change the rest of the diet to try to diminish the change in cholesterol?

No I don't, SFA exacerbates the effect of CHOL on your lipid profile. Thus if you want to study it you should eliminate all other factors which influence lipid profile or control them, on top of CHOL wash out periods.

Which is seen in some, but not all:
>ome ofthe largest and best-designed studies
specifically designed to examine this potential interaction did
find reduced responses to dietary cholesterol when P:S was high
( 1 2, 1 8, 19, 22, 29). Other seemingly well-designed studies did
not confirm this interaction (7, 10, 1 1 , 1 5, 42)

(I cba to format the above quote).

>Certain amino acids, fiber, and potassium in beans helps lower blood pressure.
Agreed
>Heavily salted canned beans probably won't do much though.
Agreed

Which would disagree with hopkins conclusion would it not? A 5% TC increase per 100mg would result in a greater increase in TC for every 100mg

>that effect was independent of the effects of type of fat.

Perhaps I was wrong, but papers 12, 18, 19, 22, 29 do find what I was saying to be true; but there is conflict with others.

Later papers agree with Clarkes
>The predicted plasma cholesterol response to a l00-mg/d decrease in dietary cholesterol based on the results of this meta-analysis is a decrease of 56.9 .tmol/L (2.2 mg/dL)

You're going for cheap food, whole milk is the exact same thing with more fat/calories.

But diet or not if you're drinking milk it should be whole regardless.

To rehydrate beans you first should soak them overnight or for at least 8 hours. Put whatever beans you have in a pot, add one tablespoon of baking soda and fill with water to about 2-2.5 inches from the top of the bean level. Drain and rinse your beans until the water runs clear. Cover beans with water, again about 2-2.5 inches from the top (here you can add a teaspoon of salt if you like), bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Depending on the beans you're making the cooking times will vary, but I've found that 2 cups (measured dry) of black turtle beans will take about 15-20 minutes to get nice and tender with this method. Chickpeas tend to take less time at about 12-15 minutes. Lentils are good to have too as they don't need to be soaked overnight and as such are great in a pinch.

>>40071689

>One survey of South Carolina adults found no correlation of blood cholesterol levels with "bad" dietary habits, such as consumption of red meat, animal fats, butter, eggs, whole milk, bacon, sausage, and cheese.5

Checked out reference 5 and the title of the study is "The need for accurate nutrition survey methodology: the South Carolina experience." It's clearly about inaccuracies in the self-reporting of nutrition data, and he used the data from it. Mercola is such a blatant quack.
