You can't save money for other expenses by replacing normal food with cheap food. It looks like sleeping less than 8 hours to have more time for other activities. For a while it works but there comes time when you'll have to pay.
Somedays we also sleep less than 8 hours a day and it's also part of daily unpredictable life, it's fine. The problem is when it becomes a routine...
High carbohydrate diet leads to weight gain, diabetes and an increased risk of heart disease.
low protein diet can cause impaired immune function, fatty liver, loss of muscle mass, weakness and fatigue, etc.
Unhealthy fats can raise bad cholesterol levels (ldl), increase risk of heart diseases and stroke.
Does it worth the price? Personally, I would prefer to eat healthy and save on other expenses.
Actually, the only problem of the food mentioned on this thread is the lack of meat and vegetables, because people consume that same portion of carbohydrates in every cases. Rice and beans is a must and the base of the lunch and dinner meals here.
By the way, when people here say that they pay $35 a month in restaurant and eat well, please, can you share a photo of restaurants?
Is it casual dining restaurant? Fast casual? Or maybe fine dining?
When someone says restaurant, I always think about
something like this.

Yes, the restaurant is something like that (restaurante popular), where you get your food at the entrance and go somewhere else to eat. Preferentially, your house.
I believe it's due to the Covid pandemic that people aren't allowed to eat in-loco anymore, because at least this restaurant I went, it was a big size building, with large empty tables behind the counter/fence.
