Why is "eating healthy" so expensive?

You see, I don't have a kitchen where I live. There is no oven, no fridge, not even a microwaver, so everything that I eat must be bought ready to eat. So I either eat at restaurants or I shop for groceries.
Right now I spend 5 dollars a day on groceries. I drink one large bottle of Pepsi and two large packs of Cheetos everyday. This diet has been ruining my health, it's been years since I started it, but I'm a big guy (6'5/2m height) and I can't afford to feel hunger, and also can't afford a healthy diet. For me to eat a completely healthy diet, I would have to spend some 25 dollars everyday because, again, I would have to eat at restaurants.
Is there anyway out of this, /r9k/?
Will I have to get a wageslave job just so I don't die of diabeetus at the age of 30?

I swear for God I don't. I hate eating those cold groceries. I love warm food. I love eating steak and other healthy foods. I shit you not. But everything is just so expensive. I can't afford that shit. Seriously, it's fucking ridiculous.

>>34636292
Do you have electrical sockets and running water where you live?
Holy shit how are you so stupid?

Get a bag of beans and lentils and an electric cooker from Goodwill and you will be set for the next month

All that stuff probably costs around $10

>>34636292
>a microwaver
Lol
But seriously where do you live?

Eating healthy is really cheap actually

1. Stop eating out, unless you're really craving a 10$ salad at your local restaurant
2. Make your own food, there's tons of cooking websites, JUST FOLLOW THE FUCKING DIRECTIONS
3. Meat is expensive, if you cut back on meat or don't eat it at all you'll notice more $$$ in your wallet

Lacto-Ovi-Vegetarian here, my weekly cost of groceries comes out to 19$

where do you live? how can there be no kitchen near you?

As for your situation don't give up hope, you can buy a mini fridge, a rice cooker, and a microwave and still eat healthy.

Clear some space wherever you live and buy a cord extension so you can plug all of these in close proximity to each other thus having your own food station (can't really call it a kitchen)

now imagine what your weekly cost would be if you went vegan

I probably could pay like $5 a week potentially... but there's not really a lot of incentive for me to do so since I'm not poor lmoa

Brown rice, potatoes, lentils, black beans, chicken thighs, frozen vegetables. That's all you need and it's all cheap, anon. Walmart has hot pots for less than $20. Go to ethnic stores for cheap spices.

You're a dick. It's not impossible for someone in America to have wifi but no kitchen.

>eating healthy is expensive
It isn't. You can buy the staples and spices for cheap. The most expensive is the chicken, tuna, and turkey. You are just spoiled.
>>
eat less of that shitty food and you'll lose weight

>>34636292
I am poor af and still eat healthy. Buy kale celery chicken and rice. Add cod liver oil as a nutritional supplement. I went from 265 to 160.
>>
>>34636292
lul
get out of whatever shithole you live in now. hop on craigslist and move in with somebody else.
With a stove and storage, eating healthy won't cost you more than you spend now, you can get by on 4-5 dollars in pretty much the entire developed world. Vegs, Chicken and Pork, Rice, Legumes, 4-5 basic spices.
