Buy dried legumes to get proper protein. Both cereals and legumes have protein, but not the full set of essential amino acids. However they complement each other in this regard, hence people living their entire life on rice, beans, and some fish.
I’d also advise looking into cheapest vegetables and making a salad out of them. Where I am, it’s potato, carrots, and beets — coincidentally the ingredients for a traditional salad. They can be cheaper than rice.
I pretty much live off energy drinks and rice rn.

My dude, do you need some easy recipes? That can’t be good for your mental health.
No.
I need money to be able to afford better food.
Energy drinks are expensive, health and money.
Redbull and Monster are expensive. Venom and Unbound Energy are less than a dollar.
A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals
Too bad I only have $3. Cooking my rice in Unbound Energy instead of water.
