Think of it as "people kibble". Without shame, I would eat Cheetos as my solitary food item for the rest of my life (CRUNCHY, not puffs)

Potatoes. I can make it into whatever I want and it has never disappointed me to date.

Potato and dairy can get you suprisingly close. Nutrition is complex and full of unknowns, and like don’t actually do that, but it’s nutritionally not far off on paper.

If I can't vary the recipe (it needs to be the exact same every time), I'd probably live off something inoffensive and bland. Like polenta with fried eggs.

If there's some room for variation however it got to be stew. It's still a stew if I sub potatoes with taro. It's still a stew if I sub the beef with chicken or fish. It's still a stew if I change the seasoning. You get the idea, right?

Would probably go for something very practical. Water would be ideal, as I could get it pretty much anywhere for free or very cheap. Or maybe I'd go for chicken pasta salad, just to have a meal that contains a decent amount of variation.

egg fried rice, I already went about 3 months on just two portions of it per day about a year ago and honestly if you add veg and a bit of meat it's pretty close to giving you everything you need anyway (apart from calories cause I was only getting a little over 1k a day including other snacks).

I do actually have a cookbook that contains a load of recipes. And I'm 99% sure it's in there. It's one that I really want to try, but, money has been quite tight and I wanted to buy something so I've saved for that. It's definitely in my list for when I can afford it.

Steak is like my favourite meat. And I don't mind friend chicken, not my favourite. But I do believe it has potential. Thank you for the link, and I'll compare them both.

If it helps, the cut of meat you use for it is a cheap one and shouldn't set you back much. Pretty much the only way it's usable is by frying it. It's not chicken, but beef. There's also chicken fried chicken, which has a confusing name, but is just chicken cooked in the same manner as chicken fried steak.

Both are best served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Edit: I misunderstood. You know it's not chicken. Sorry, I'm on my second beer lol. Anyway, I think you'd like both dishes. I'm from the Southern US and it's a common food here. One of my absolute favorites.

Yakisoba. I could eat this everyday for every meal and never get tired of it. I love it.

Though good luck trying to make it balanced from a nutritional point of view. Waaaay too many oils.
