I have like $15 for the next 5 days so I’ve been eating nuts for breakfast and brown rice with steamed carrot and tofu for dinner the last few days. It’s keeping me alive but I think I’m getting too much fibre because my shits are getting thinner and thinner. I don’t really wanna shit water for the next week, what’s the cheapest food I can use to bung myself up. I’m thinking just buy a loaf of the cheapest bread I can find and munch a few slices dry here and there. I’ll need to buy some more rice/tofu over the weekend, should have enough left for some bread.

PS. The only way I can cook rn is steaming, the only kitchenware I could afford until next payday was a rice cooker that I can steam stuff in too.

    As plenty of others have said I doubt it’s too much fibre.

    My recommendation would be to buy some oats, they’re really cheap. OP, you can make porridge in a rice cooker with water instead of milk/milk substitute to keep it cheap.

    Oats are fantastic for digestion, and have a bit of protein in them too. They’re also great for energy and nutrients. Anyone reading this should eat more oats not just OP, they’re a very good idea.

        It actually is, it’s a no stir no faff way of making oatmeal/porridge. I don’t own a rice cooker any more, but when I did I had my routine timed to perfection to bang them on before I got in the shower and got dressed, then by the time I came downstairs again I had perfect porridge every time. It’s a nice warm way to start the day.
