What To Eat When There Is Nothing To Eat?

FYI

I looked up shipping on the USPS Priority Mail International Large Flat Rate box to Croatia. 6-10 day delivery in "most markets"(variable depending on where it goes to) $93.95, max weight 20 lbs. Includes $200 worth of insurance for the contents.

That's a lot of rice and beans.
 
Breakfast:

Oatmeal is a good source of protein. You get 4 grams of protein in 28 grams of oatmeal. Also, eggs are a good source of protein, each one has 6 grams of it. Eggs are generally cheaper than meat too, so start your days off with a bowl of oatmeal and 2 eggs. If you can add a piece of fruit to that, you have had a good, healthy and balanced breakfast. I usually put some salt and or butter in my oatmeal and also honey or sugar. You can add many things to it, like milk or fruit. It is a very versatile and healthy thing for breakfast. They say it also lowers cholesterol which is a problem that folks have in later life (that it is too high) so it is good to start out young like you are and eat healthily. Bon appetite!
 
I looked up supermarkets in your part of the world and have emailed one of them, which also has shops here in the UK. I have asked if there is any way I can order and pay for groceries which can be picked up by yourself at your end.

I have lived on nothing, so recipes are no good if you have nothing to cook. Since those days, I have always kept non perishable goods in my cupboard for lean times.

I would like to arrange for you to have that stock...then as you use it, you replace it in your cupboard, as you find the money. It is easier to replace a tin of beans, than it is to try to start up a stock from scratch.

Hopefully I will get a reply from the company that is helpful.
 
No, really, I'm okay. I will be out of town a lot in the period coming up :) Don't worry. No need for buying me anything or similar, I will be okay. I don't want people to spend money on me. Really, Please.

Recipes are fine. I am managing with food past week, also was eating for free for 3 days, so I gained a bit of fat. I will be fine. I'm going on a paid competition trip also, which will be more free food. I will be fine.

I will probably get paid a bit for the competition, at least a hundred dollars, I hope, which should be enough to eat for a while. Here that is a lot of money.
 
I totally understand what you are saying...I would react in the same way. I was hoping to give you something you could fall back on when you don't have other options...you know, stuff that could be there 6 months down the line.....but I know what your answer to that is going to be!....there are always options. You know you can pm me if you need to. Anyway.....I'm interested in what can be done in situations like this, if anything....so I'm eager to hear back from the company out of curiosity.
