Yeah this is not a good idea. I’ll let someone with more expert knowledge and time to chime in. But in short, supplements are not a good alternative to a diversified diet. To get the various micronutrients that you need you’ll be taking a ton of different vitamins anyway and itll probably cost more than getting those from food.
If it’s available, you should go to a food bank or food pantry to supplement your beans and rice. You don’t need to qualify, you can usually just show up but check first in case you might need something. It won’t cost you anything. Eating just one thing every day with no fruits or vegetables isn’t ideal. Vitamins won’t cover everything. Try to get a little variety in there.
seeing as you’re totally against buying vegetables, why not grow your own vegetables? cheap initial investment, great profit. radishes take under a month from seed to fruit, most salad leaves take about three weeks, spinach takes about a month, cress takes about a week, chia sprouts takes about 3 days, tomatoes are pretty easy too. you need some iron in your diet or you’ll need more than black coffee to wake you up
What about adding small bits and bobs to your meal for variety? Tinned tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic and the occational cheap fruit maybe some mixed nuts and seeds for some crunch? All super cheap
Supplement-wise you are probably okay. Only thing I can think of is a lack of oil. A few capsuls of omega 3 is a little on the low side and it doesnt sound like you are getting any omega 6 at all. If i were you I would either add more fat to the diet or take a larger doses than stated on the supplement
Personally I would find it suuper difficult to rely on the same meal every day for months. There is no way that I wouldnt end up having a take away or something different once in a while but you do you. Good luck!
If this diet is new to you, stock up on toilet paper. The fiber will no doubt have some effect.
To get to 1800 kcal, I’m putting 500 g enriched cooked rice and 5 cups of canned beans into the calculator and it’s spitting out: 1884 kcal, 365 carbs, 84 G protein, 10 g fat, and 92 g fiber. 💩💩!
That is not enough fat, btw. So, add some of that. Obviously, a lot depends on the multivitamin you choose.
But overall, sounds like a shit plan! Pun intended.
