I don’t know where to post this, so I’m posting it here.
I need to gain some weight because I’m borderline anorexic. But I can’t afford much more than bread, potatoes, eggs and cheese, That is my diet. And I hate eating it. It’s the only thing I can stomach that is cheap, but I hate it. I don’t want to eat eggs and potatoes for the rest of my life. I would rather die of malnutrition, like I am currently doing.
I have no appetite, but that is a symptom of something else. Ideally, there is a way to gain weight while eating less mass. Something calorie dense.
I might be slightly exaggerating. But for the last couple of years I’ve been eating potatoes and eggs for almost every single meal of the day. And yes, I eat one warm meal a day. Sometimes I suppliment with some bread to stop the hunger pains. Sometimes I also eat a piece of vegetable.
Okay, what if literally everything I try to grow dies in like a week? Because it does. And I don’t know why. At this point, I’m surprised anything can survive in my home.
Yeah, cool, micro greens, variety, but I’m not buying greens every time. If I can’t grow them at home, what do?
Can you get mustard or radish seeds? These grow in under a week and don’t even need dirt, just damp paper towel or similar.
Mung bean shoots are probably out of your flavour range.
Try searching for ‘sprouts’ rather than micro greens. Many are just grown in old jars on a windowsill. Zero gardening talent required.
Great news, some microgreens are ready for harvest in under a week.
But if you can provide some regional information; I can provide some plants that are local to you that would be weeds and thus impossible for you to run out of them and could be obtained for free.
