        Beans and rice all the way. You can stir fry it, add in an egg, add in all sorts of veggies (fresh or frozen), add in any kind of meat, turn it into chili, season it a dozen dozen ways, put it in a tortilla.

        It’s such a cheap and versatile basis for a diet, and if you pressure cook beans a couple times a week and get a rice cooker, you can really streamline the effort for cooking

            I do usually bounce between black beans and chick peas. Every once in a while I switch it up with navy or kidney beans, but black and garbanzo are probably half my diet by weight and volume

            Lentils are great though, even more nutritious… Unfortunately I really don’t like them

                Hell yeah.

                Add in some onions, maybe sliced zucchini and eggs, some cayenne pepper and garlic? Amazing. Just ate a wrap of that without the rice and with some lacinato kale and Sriracha… Like 5 minutes of effort, better than most restaurant food, and I threw myself against a boss in elden ring several times while it was cooking

                Plus, if you have an air fryer you can roast the chick peas with heavy spices and a little oil, and you get a delicious and filling snack

                  We usually make lemon and herb sauce and spinach/kale with it, but that sounds so good! Never dawned on me to do a more “red” spiced version with egg.

      More that people only talk about their diets (or at least, you only take note of their comments about it) when it’s noteworthy, either for being super healthy or super unhealthy

      And ofc people are trash at self reporting their actual diets

        Well, today my diet was mostly Halloween candy, but I like to think that doesn’t represent me as a person.

    I was so ready for The Whale but they go ahead and cast a well known actor.
