    Alls I know is it isn’t ichiban noodles. I ate those for 3 straight weeks and almost lost my nails and hair.

    Nutrition is really important yo. Eat your veggies and balance your fibre and protein.

    I read once that a person could survive indefinitely on potatoes and milk.

      It’s true. Add oats and eggs, and they can thrive.

        I wouldn’t thrive without pizza. That’s my only one need.

          use oats for crust, mashed potatoes and boiled eggs for toppings, and if you want the extra effort you can also use the milk to make cheese. i bet itd taste the same as normal pizza

    My mum said when she had no money she lived off eggs, rice, spring onions (which you can just continuously regrow from the bulb) and dried fish.

    I don’t know the nutritional facts of this meal, but it worked for her.

    If you switch out the fish for chicken or something like spam or corned beef, and add onions and garlic, that’ll do me.

    With enough body fat, sprinkle in a bit of electrolyte and maybe vitamins and that’s all you need.

    I remember reading of a supervised case like that, many months of not a year. I couldn’t find it with a quick search.

    Me personally? I could probably make it years on beans, rice, and greens if I had to. Collard greens, rice and beans, oil and spices to season them, and onions.

    So glad I don’t have to, but if I had to choose that would be it.

    Fortified soy milk, vegetable oil, popping corn and chaat masala. Apples would be nice too but not vital.

    You can survive off any single food item for some non-zero amount of time. Nothing we know of can allow you to survive forever. The question is always: how long?

      Long enough to die of something other than a nutritional deficiency.
