Eggs chicken rice mixed greens broccoli
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.
bread
Assuming stuff like vinegar or salt doesn’t count?
Rice
Chicken breast
Cheese
Pasta noodles
Tomato sauce
Soy sauce
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.
Gasoline has all the calories you need to survive for the rest of your life.
Any mushroom is edible…once.
What was the joke again…
“Humans can survive off a diet consisting of potatoes and butter, as demonstrated by a years long case study commonly known as Ireland”
Something along those lines.
Think it’s important to point out that they didn’t do that by choice.
If you could only have one food, potatoes would be a good choice.
yikes, scurvy much?
try brocolli and eggs

Potatoes are A ok against scurvy (unlike eggs alone who can come along for the ride though, because hash brown and fried eggs, yum)
I believe 2, chia seeds and water, although I don’t know if you will meet calories requirement so might be 3.
I know this is Lemmy and all, but, uh, beans.
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.
Crime fighting turtles always saying shit like this
Cowabunga, Dude!
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
Breastmilk should be enough. Just difficult to source.
Not if you have enough money.
- Rice
- Beans
end of list
You’re missing a bunch of micro nutrients which would cause problems over time with this. It has all the calories and protein you need though.
Add in some fat from somewhere like cooking oil, and a handful of vegetables like onions, carrots, etc. and you’d last a fairly normal human lifespan.
Vegetables often contain oil, the problem is getting omega-3’s, which our bodies can’t make.
In the sea, it’s algae who’re producing it: then krill, then squid/fish/etc eat them…
some plants make it, some don’t…
olives are good, olive-oil, etc…
but anybody who’s eating squash is getting omega-6’s or 9’s, even though it seems non-intuitive.
B12?
–Edit–
And on closer look also (at least) fatty acids, calcium and iodine.
Any particular type of beans? Red? Black? Lentils?
Does the type of rice matter?
I’m intrigued by this possibility.
Does the type of rice matter?
Yes; make sure it’s whole grain. White rice is essentially junk food, with most of its fiber, vitamins & minerals stripped in the de-hulling process.
I have a sack of white rice to eat through… I don’t really know what to do with it all. My partner got it from work. Would rather basmati rice really.
A lot of rice sold (most?) is “enriched” so the vitamins and minerals are added back. But the fiber is gone and rinsing the rice washes away the nutrient powder.
Why do people wash rice? Never really bothered with it. 2:1 usually works pretty nicely, get the water boiling add the rice and put it on low. Come back when ready.
Or like 4-5 to 1 with milk and have it as rice pudding/porridge.
Washing rice makes the final texture better. Unwashed rice has a coating of starch that causes the grains to stick together in a gooey mess.
Never really found it gets gooey unless I stir it lots.
Washing the rice reduces the starchiness which makes it less sticky.
You might mix it with non-junk food rice. Shortgrain-brown might have a similar-enough cooking time that they can be mixed together. I’m hazy on that, as I stopped eating rice years ago, replacing it with steel-cut oats.
Or, who knows… maybe you could donate the sack to a food bank?
Cool - thank you! That makes sense. I know there are so many types of rice, so I’ll do some research too.
Afaik pretty much any kind of cereal with any kind of legume provide the essential amino acids needed by the body. Both of them have protein, but not the full set of amino acids that the body requires in a certain proportion.
Idk about vitamins, though.
Just one, I guess. As long as I don’t have to survive for very long
