Living below the line experience

Day 4 of my 5 day experience of living below the line
Live below the line


My daily diet has consisted of the following
Oats (50g) soaked in water & cooked the next day with a little cinnamon + 1 kiwifruit for breakfast


Dhal for lunch and dinner - made with 70 lentils, 160g canned tomatoes, 1/2 onion (chopped), 1/3 carrot (chopped) 1 tsp curry powder (divide the cooked result in half for each meal).


Brown rice 200g for the day shared between lunch and dinner


Cabbage approx. 200g per day with dinner.


Drinks - water hot or cold


Total calorie count approx. 1330 - so leaves me feeling a little hungry.


Total spent on food for the 5 days $10.58.


Total funds raised for Oxfam so far $489.00 :-)


Haven't checked my weight yet - will do that on Friday morning after my last day - I suspect I will have lost a little more.


So the diet is nutritious if boring. Probably long term I would experience some iron and vitamin deficiencies. But it definitely shows that whole foods plant based diets can be cheap
