I asked ChatGPT: If a person has little money, please list a low-cost meal plan for one day that would maximize nutrition and minimize cost.

No meat, fish or poultry makes the diet very difficult to meet complete protein needs.

anything for gas ?

This is something our grandparents knew and lived on.

No junk food of “Happy Meals”!

[RedMonqey]

Eat more beans.

My daughter did a thesis in college that an adult could eat a nutritionally complete, healthy diet for .37 cents a day, and that social services programs for the welfare crowd were counterproductive to establishing good eating habits.

The professors hated her but she proved right. She also did a semester arguing that family court custody rulings are also counterproductive in the welfare of children. They instead reward the state bureaucrats with authority and wealth in their rulings, not the children.

Good post yours. I tried that question on Bing. Here’s the answer I got:

“Bill Gates says to eat bugs.”

(Just kidding. Maybe.)

BTTT and complements to dau.

Advanced AI is being developed to teach the sheeple that Soylent Green is both cheap and nutritious.

that meal plan sucks

"I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."

Some of my favorite meals are recipes grandma taught me.

e.g., escarole & beans with ditalini.

Save the water from blanching the escarole to use to boil the pasta (absorbs the vitamins back in).

No need to mention you have to use the good parmesan and italian bread (none of that “meddigan” stuff) to complete the meal.

I have two words for ChatGTP: heme iron.

“No meat, fish or poultry makes the diet very difficult to meet complete protein needs.”

Agreed. A diet like this is WAY too low on protein.

A 180 lb person should have 135-180 grams of high quality protein every day.

This AI suggestion probably has a third of that.

so ChatGPT is vegan ?

I have split-peas in the crockpot right now. Going to grill some hamsteak when the peas are done.

Also, bologna and hot dogs are perfectly fine sources of protein. My doctor said so.

Add some ground turkey To the dinner, or the lunch? Also, I think a little dairy product, like cheese or sour cream, would round out the flavor and provide satiation.

[Yardstick]

IMO eggs should be at the top of the list for cheap and nutritious.

Maybe a diet of eggs, potatoes, a leafy green, peanut butter, and yogurt.
