You might look into dried beans and peas, and chick peas, especially a mixture called "soup mix."
You rinse them under running cold water in a mesh strainer, then put them into a bowl, cover them with cold water, leave them there an hour. They contain a sugar we can't digest which irritates us. This soaking leaches it out.
Then rinse them again, discarding that water. Put them into completely new cold water in a pot, bring to a boil, leave on a medium simmer for a while, covered, and eat when they are soft. Or, put them, once rinsed that second time, into a slow cooker and go to bed. Tomorrow they will be done.
If you can find powdered "taco seasoning" you might like that on them. Maybe with ketchup. Or just some oil and some vinegar, mixed together, is fine too.
Lentils don't need the one hour soak. Just boil them, maybe in the microwave.
Oats blended with water and your choice of fruit makes for a simple, very filling, very drinkable (yet bland) shake(s)
I consume about two pounds of oats (oats, not oatmeal) a day this way, I get organic oats for a dollar a pound in the bulk section of food store, off the shelf is always way overpriced for oats
Consuming at least 3500 healthy calories a day at about $2 to $4 a day, all other foods I consume are just added nutrients, and I get I meaty meal once a day because I crave it if I don’t
I used to have health issues that gave me diet restrictions, so I’m used to eating bland, so three individual oat shakes three times a day doesn’t bother me, maybe it would drive others crazy
I'm not giving up my bologna it's the only mealtime substance I can afford.
Of course. Fine.

Saving this for future reference. Thanks!
I've never heard to the taco seasoning with beans. That sounds good. I like beans a lot and want to try this.

Bland is fine. I don't mind bland. I just want to get my energy and nutrients, and feel full. Anything else is just recreational eating.
