By eating this way, you can get all the nutrients you need for as low as $4/day (yes, even with today's inflation).

Basic principle

  • Macro-nutrients come from foods.
  • Micro-nutrients come from supplements.

Foods

Ingredients to use

  • Grain products - such as pasta, rice, or cornmeal
  • Legumes - such as beans, lentils, or chickpeas
  • Root vegetables - especially potatoes, onions and carrots.
  • You may also need some vegetable oil, flour, sugar and spices.

What to make with these ingredients

Supplements

  • A general-purpose multivitamin (typically less than 15 cents/day).
    • Found at most pharmacies (brand names may include "Centrum" or "One-A-Day")
  • Also add a calcium tablet (typically less than 8 cents/day)

Nutrition analysis

Far more nutritionally balanced than how most people eat (surprisingly).
