Nutritionally this is terrible advice. You’d be better off both metabolically and nutritionally to only eat once per day and eat lentils, beans, and rice.

Eating only highly processed white flour noodles will kill you slowly by starving you of nutrients. If it were pasta or starving you would be better off starving to death.

As a cult leader I disagree. We exclusively feed our members starchy pasta to make them more tired, docile and agreeable to our teachings.

Unfortunately I can't eat gluten so I have to stick with pasta.

Lentils, beans and rice are all gluten free

Yeah but so is spaghetti

As it’s typically made of wheat you have to go out of your way to find gluten free pasta. Whereas the other foods are naturally gluten free.

I find that the vegetti works great.

If you can find gluten free pasta for 12 cents a box, why aren't you reselling it? Every time I find it in the store it's expensive.

Pasta contains gluten…

DivvySUCKS OP t1_itvzft5 wrote

I believe that's been debunked

Pasta is generally made of semolina or other white/wheat flour, all of which contains gluten. But if the noodles are made of rice, for example, they’re gluten free. Hope this is helpful!

Please demonstrate your math

One box of pasta is $0.12 at my local discount store. If I eat 1/12 of that box then it comes out to one penny per serving.

If you're willing to dumpster dive you can stretch that even further.

Alright the cheapest pasta i can find locally is around 40 cents. Still pretty cheap. I'd just not stick to pasta for all meals cause potatoes and some other veggies are also pretty cheap and provide some Varieté

Sometimes the 12 cent pasta is a little moldy but hey you get what you pay for.

I never have good luck with vegetables. It's like they're made of gold!

That's some expenses pasta.

A 2lb box here costs $0.04 and a 5lb jar of tomato sauce is $0.25.

I buy the good stuff. Gotta treat yourself once in a while.

useless_bucket t1_itww2q3 wrote

That is the cost for top shelf pasta.

I would never buy the $0.005 5lb box...my standards are too high for that.

Ramen noodles used to be cheap. Now, not so much.

Thanks a lot Joe Biden. When Trump was President they were giving away ramen for free.

Absolutely! A box of pasta, a jar of sauce and one head of lettuce , a tomato and a cucumber, salad dressing . A cheap, healthy meal . Italians never starve

I think your math is a little off. No doubt it is cheap, but not that cheap.

The best part is that life pro tips on this sub have become so ridiculous that a lot of people are having trouble recognizing the satire :)

Can't beat dried beans, hominy, and rice. Cheap, filling, pantry stable, and nutritious. And if you're scavenging/scrounging parm cheese, seasoning, and condiment packages from friends' take-outs as you say in the comments, you can make them pretty tasty.

Edit: google says a lb of pintos is $1.70USD which will make 6 servings, cooked = .28 cents per, Rice is $1.35USD for a 1lb bag totaling 7.5 servings = .18 cents per, and Great Value Hominy is $3.98USD for 110.4oz /24 servings = .63 cents per serving for a complete protein meal. You will have to refrigerate the left over hominy after opening though.

DivvySUCKS OP t1_itvxolm wrote

What's a hominy?

IndgoViolet t1_itw4xby wrote

Corn treated with lye to make the protein in it bio-available. It's what they make corn tortillas and corn chips from. A powerhouse traditional Mexican/Native American food. You often see it in soups as well as the afore mentioned tortillas, chips, tamales, etc..

DivvySUCKS OP t1_itw5k2z wrote

Lye sounds artificial. I'd be uncomfortable putting that in my body.

IndgoViolet t1_itw5s8y wrote

Nope, traditionally made by soaking corn in water with fireplace ash - as all natural as you can get - then rinsed clean and cooked, canned, and sold at Walmart
