Eating for $4/day

There isn't much good evidence that fruits or vegetables are required in your diet if you get those nutrients from other sources.

One of the biggest benefits of F+V are the high fiber content and rich micronutrient sources.

Honestly his diet would be woefully deficient I would think were it not for the fact that he eats Vector. Vector has an absolutely ridiculous nutritional profile for a cereal (http://www.kelloggs.ca/content/dam/c...cement_458.bmp). Honestly, 99% of cereals are JUNK FOOD. Straight up. Heavily marketed trash that people stupidly believe is a staple of a healthy breakfast, but this is not one of them. It's a legit meal replacement, pretty similar to stuff marketed to hospitals except those are always in liquid form for ease of ingestion.

I still think he should eat more fiber though unless he eats a lot of bread.


Personally, I also don't eat many fruits and vegetables but my go to vegetable that I eat almost every day is spinach. Very nutritious and a great substitute for lettuce in chicken salads. Lots of ways to prep em and it's VERY cheap. I cannot recommend enough buying bulk chicken or whole costco chickens and mixing it with spinach. You can mix with other things too to meet your needs and it doesn't cost much, plus it's tasty.

I also eat a lot of sushi and I'll usually pick up berries and apples or peaches every week too. Helps keep the stool solid.
