Rice and beans. Together they make a complete protein so can make up a larger bulk of your diet.
Pork loin, those gigantic big ones, are cheap per pound. Cut it into three for three roasts, freeze the other 2.
Try to get Multivitamins and magnesium. Long term you want those vitamins and minerals. Fish oil too. It's seems expensive but it's cheaper than fish itself.
+1 for the beans (or lentils, or just any pulses fwiw), but why the rice?
Pulses contain carbohydrates, but much more protein than rice and as rice is a hyperaccumulator of arsenic and pulses aren't, wouldn't that make a diet centred around pulses healthy while still affordable?
Put some canned tomatoes, vegetables, onions, garlic, spices or whatever else is available and affordable to the beans and you have a nice enough and quite healthy meal.
Because even the poor like a bit of change?
Makes sense. Maybe I'm just trying to be too efficient.
Because rice and beans together make a complete protein. Link: https://www.livestrong.com/article/351077-the-protein-in-rice-beans/
