I like roasted beans.

Take dried beans, water overnight, cook (smaller beans like soybeans work without cooking too) a bit, roast in oven, add a bit of oil and varying spices, eat.

It's healthy, easily varied in taste, and you can buy all the ingredients in bulk without fear of spoilage.

It also fills you up excellently, so there's no fear of overeating.

I just buy stuff in bulk as much as possible. Sadly that doesn't work online due to exorbitant shipping fees, but if you only have to buy it every few months, it's bearable.

Currently have 4 20kg sacks of rice at home, a bunch of 10kg bags of different dried beans, multiple kgs of onion and garlic powder, etc.

Only problem is vegetables, but that's what a freezer is for.

I also love all types of fermented veggies, so I got a 9l fermentation vessel and a hundred or so 500ml glasses a while ago.

>>1171

Sunflower seeds, a lot. Like almost 1 kg on a good week. I couldnt find pics or the name of the other two, but they are some potato snacks, not fried, great stuff

I got get it to a store that's just outside my house around 9 am, when everyone's still home and they havent left to go out for the night yet.

>>1174

>Sunflower seeds, a lot. Like almost 1 kg on a good week

I like those too.

>>1171

My go to snack has always been raisins. They are cheap and keep a long time which is really nice.

As for buying food shipping is too expensive and i don't really have any friends or family so i have to venture out to the grocery store every 3-4 weeks

>>1177

> i have to venture out to the grocery store every 3-4 weeks

Same here i hate going as it does cause me a lot of anxiety but i usually just go in there grab what i need quick pay and get out and go home.

White rice and to much concentrated carbohydrate in general (is sugar) is not healthy, and will eventually give you diabetes, you've probably done the research right? Beans are good but not too much, they can congeal like cement in the bowels and be difficult to eliminate (constipation).

Generally the closer you get to the Sattvic diet the better, but it's not cheap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattvic_diet

Vegetables that grow below the ground, potatoes, carrots, also bread are concentrated carbs, starch and turn to sugar in the blood.

I have a friend from India, vegetarian is common in his culture, he is under 40 years old. He just got diabetes, so I showed him Stevia to eliminate the added sugar, also explained that starch turns to sugar in the blood. Also high blood pressure is common in vegetarians, largely due to oil intake, it increases the viscosity of the blood. Plenty of water will help, but until you understand the role that vitamin K plays and the latest research you won't be able to eliminate it through diet. To much vitamin K makes the blood clot faster, to little and you bleed longer, the blood is thinner. Green vegetables have vitamin K, some veggies more than others. Foods that thin the blood, the best ones are Turmeric, Ginger, Cinnamon, pineapple juice. So now you have enough information to help you do more research, about food health. It's not easy to eat cheap and healthy it's kind of complicated but it can be done. Take care

How??.

>>1203

Thanks anon ill. look into this.

>>1171

Whatever is in the kitchen, I go and fix myself up a meal. I'm not really prone for eating food while I game. I prefer to stop whatever game I'm playing and go eat. I usually like to snack on peanuts or almonds. Maybe a muffin, cookies, or moonpies if we're lucky to supply some from the grocery store.

>Also question for current hikikomoris do you buy food online? do your parents bring it to you and set it in your room or outside the door? or do you go outside quick for food then return to your room or apartment??.

As strange as it may sound to some, I prefer to do mostly everything on my own. Getting food, getting a drink, etc. Parent buys food. Sometimes I ask what I want. For some reason I don't like food given to me. So I rather make it myself. If I'm too damn lazy, then we order pizza. Sometimes whatever we're in the mood for, we use uber eats.

>>1234

>sometimes but usually only at night i would sneak out and microwave something to eat or get a drink in the day time

I used to live at my aunt's house and would do the same thing. Starve during the day, fuck the people downstairs. Just wait until all of them are in their own room, late at night.

I miss heating up pizza rolls and munch them with ranch sauce or sriracha in the quiet kitchen room, all alone late at night. So peaceful and no one to fucking bother you with stupid shit.

>>1247

Hell yeah! Now I want some right now.

>>2496

Do they taste like pizza?

>>2505

>Do they taste like pizza?

They taste like cheddar chips with a hint of the taste of pepperoni pizza.

>>2511

> I can make pizza, and the crust is really thick so it lasts me a while. I can make kebabs, of which one is enough to fill me up for an entire day. I can also make lasagna, chicken with sweetcream sauce and a bunch of other stuff that i'm forgetting off the top of my mind. Lack of ingredients and me being unwilling to spend too much money on them is what most often gets in the way.

You are very talented anon.

>>2515

I prefer jiffy peanut butter tbh.

>>2517

>mandela effect peanut butter

I don't think they sell it here.

>>2514

Thank you. I just always despised mother's cooking, so I learned to make my own, and rather than eat the same things over and over, I tried to come up with as many things that I actually like as possible, and still do, for variety's sake.

>>1171

pierogi

>>2511

>mint tea

kind of an odd choice but interesting. i used to really like peppermint tea but now im never interested in making it despite having a couple bags. black, black tea is almost an addiction of mine now, i used to be this way with coffee.

>>2585

>George Foreman grill,

I have one of these stored away somewhere in my room they are fucking awesome don't use it very often though.

>>2585

>My mother provides dinner every day, which is usually pretty good.

Does she bring it to your room??.

>>2598

Na, I get it from the kitchen.

>>2602

>Na, I get it from the kitchen.

Same here i get food from the kitchen and take it to my room in my first 2 years of being hikki however my parents brought my meals to my door.

>>2609

I used to climb out my window and go through the back door to get to the kitchen without walking past the living room but I could only get snacks because I can't climb back through my window with a plate of food or a drink.

>>2614

So your parents use to bring your meals to you and then you would climb out your window and go through the backdoor to get to the kitchen and grab some snacks?? that's badass as hell anon.

>>2616

apologize me anon but really I can't stop laughing it may be the worst meanwhile funny thing I've read here

My fridge broke so I've been keeping food outside on my balcony. I have been eating almost nothing but 2 chicken breasts for supper and 2 sausages for breakfast in an effort to lose weight. It is also very cheap to eat this way and very convienent, I spend maybe 70$ canadian dollars (so reduce that by 30% if you're american because our money isn't worth that much anymore) per week and I cook it all in one go so I have food every day for the week.

>>3381

This happens to me as well i have a tendency to both overeat and undereat and i really only eat one or two meals a day and that's it then i just snack for the rest of the night.

I'm trying to lose weight so my diet has been

>no breakfast which isn't unusual for me anyway

>cereal bar, coffee, fruit for lunch

>either oat cereal or some sort of real dinner that my family makes

I said a few weeks ago i won't binge on fast food again until i lose all the winter depression weight plus some and i'm nearly there. Couple more days at least.

>>3391

Same. I'll often eat nothing all day and then eat like 2000 calories that night. It's the worst

>>3424

>>no breakfast which isn't unusual for me anyway

Same here i use to be a big breakfast person but in recent years that has changed i still love eating cereal though also good luck on your diet anon be sure to give us an update later on.

I'm thinking of writing a short book (in PDF form) about eating on a budget, what to look out for, how to substitute ingredients and so on.

Anyone interested in such an idea?

>>3427

>i still love eating cereal

Cereal is the best. I eat so much much cereal. I mostly eat plain oat cereals but i've been putting a dollop of grape jelly in there and it's so fucking good like that. Love milk too. I could probably drink a gallon a day if i subbed it for all the water i drink.

>good luck on your diet anon be sure to give us an update

I've lost like 70lbs over the last year just by casually watching what i eat and exercising. Just trying not to be a fat shit anymore or ever again. My body is like the one thing i have control over and in realizing that i started taking care of it and resenting my mother even more for raising me on junk food.

>>3453

sure

>>3453

that is a very good idea anon, I have figured out how to do it by autistically buying in bulk and freezing and eating the same thing over and over but I doubt most people would enjoy eating like this and it would be nice to be able to have more variety in my diet without spending a lot more for it… plus a book like that wouldn't only apply to hikkis, you could actually make a lot of money with a book like that if it catches on

>>3456

>Cereal is the best. I eat so much much cereal. I mostly eat plain oat cereals but i've been putting a dollop of grape jelly in there and it's so fucking good like that. Love milk too. I could probably drink a gallon a day if i subbed it for all the water i drink.

I know right personally i'm not one who enjoys milk in his cereal but i do have a glass on the side always and i don't care what time of the day it is ill. eat cereal whenever i want.

Go for it anon that could really come in handy.

>>3601

>>3456

Thank you mates, I already wrote up a quick introduction. I should be done in a week or two. I'll post it then.

>>3990

How many chapters do you intend to write?

>>3990

There's three sections in the book, all conveniently having give chapters each.

>>3989

Sounds delicious anon.

You wouldn't happen to be German by some chance? You'd be the first other German(-ish) hikki I've met so far.

I eat oatmeal with protein powder for breakfast every day, and all other meals are covered by Linseneintopf/pea stew on rice.

It's like bread, you can eat it all the time and never get sick of it. Ingredients keep indefinitely, can be made in large batches, it's cheap and reasonably healthy. Pretty much the perfect food.

>>3992

That's quite lengthy. Good luck anon.

>>3993

I am indeed German, Originally from near Köln, though closer to the dutch border. but I moved to Canada 11 years ago with my family.

>>1171

I'd be happy if I could eat healthily but my parents are the true american kind and I don't eat much other than bread, butter and burgers.

>>3995

> I don't eat much other than bread, butter and burgers.

Same here.

>>3995

What I did was I asked my parents if it was ok that instead of them buying/making me food, if they could give me a set amount of money each week and I'd get my own food. Try asking them that? If they don't just say yes right off the bat bring up the point that they wouldn't need to cook for you anymore, you'd learn how to budget the money they gave you, you'd learn how to cook and you could focus on eating healthy things. (Plus the spare cash you get from not spending it all is nice, I get 100 dollars per week but usually only spend about 60-70$, also since I started managing directly what I eat I lost 150 pounds, think about it)

>>3995

My parents make pretty good food, the problem is they make too much. So I often end up eating too much, or if I don't eat it, it gets thrown out and wasted. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

>>4022

>the problem is they make too much. So I often end up eating too much, or if I don't eat it, it gets thrown out and wasted

I will never understand why so many people do this. Is it really so hard to figure out how much food you normally eat then scale how much you make to match?

>>4275

Probably because it's harder to gauge how much food you need when you cook for an entire family. As my mother used to say: "It's better to have too much than too little"

On the other hand I will never understand why people make a big deal out of wasting food, and that's coming from a poorfag point of view.

>>4276

>On the other hand I will never understand why people make a big deal out of wasting food, and that's coming from a poorfag point of view.

I know right.
