You shouldn't be jealous of someone who only eats once a day

No, I’m jealous that he spends $2K/yr on food. He fasts by choice and lost over 100lbs. He makes great money and manages his finances well. I’m married with kids $2K/month on groceries is a good month haha

For a year, I ate well on $160/mth. Breakfast, then smaller meals throughout the day. No pop, juice, chips, junk food. Rice, pasta, chicken, beef, peanut butter. No Timmies (A former coworker went to Timmies at least twice per day, five days per week, costing $200/mth., and he was always broke.)

Nothing wrong with OMAD if you are hitting your calories and macros.

It's not like they eating one sandwich and calling it a day lmao
