    It's been too long since I've seen Soylent Green (if at all) to remember much about it. When was it last shown on TV?

    Using 100g a portion, usually, or a can:

    Code:
    Muesli                   220 Cal
    
    Rice                     300 Cal
    Beans                    330 Cal
    Bread (2 slices)         100 Cal
    Apple                      ? Cal
    
    Spuds                     80 Cal
    Sausage(2)               100?Cal
    Bread (2 slices)         100 Cal
    Creamed Rice             390 Cal
                            ----
                            1620 Cal
                            ----
    Target should be say 2500 Cal / day, so that leaves 880 Cal to get from cheap high energy items like lard/butter/fat and sugar. (200g sugar or 100g butter). It's surprising how much we need to eat a day. We are eating machines.

    Who said anything about McDonalds? Lettuce-munchers have a veritable plethora of retail emporia anxious to pander to their delusional dietary aspirations

    It's finding a decent fry-up that's getting difficult these days

    HTH.
    That's fine for a jungle-dwelling chimp.

    We have a tea-trolley three times a day laden with bacon butties, hot sausage rolls, crisps, chocolate, cakes and biccies.

    ClientCo is slowly killing me.
    Lordy me, I wasn't implying that I'd eat crap like that myself

    This was a recommendation to somebody else.

    For my diet, see my reply to the doggy's post - although I don't eat eggs, so I'd replace that with a sausage or two.

    And I'd replace the chips with a fried slice if I wasn't overly peckish - no point guzzling

    Example of one days food:

    Breakfast:
    Muesli = 5.2p (+ a bit more for milk if you is posh)
    Porridge = 7p " (+ 10p cooking if you is really posh)

    Lunch and dinner/tea:
    Rice = £1.34 / kg or 13p a portion (+10p to cook)
    Spuds = 36p / kg or 4p a portion (+10p to cook)
    Bread = 10p / portion
    Beans = 20p / can (+5p to cook)
    Sausages = 20p for a cheap sausage (you need a bit of meat).

    Pudding:
    A can of creamed rice is only about 20p

    Drinks:
    Water = 0p (sourced from the water butt if necessary).
    or tea where heating costs dominate.

    Apple a day = 16p


    So 1 days food could be Muesli + Beans + Spuds + Bread + Rice + Apple = 93p

    About a pound a day? And much less if you bought huge bags of spuds/porridge/rice?
    Yeah, one day's food, if you're a field mouse.

    Eat as much as you like of everything you like.

    Then down a bottle of Vodka and puke it all back up again.
