    Let’s do some math then!

    The box of mashed potatoes has 2,720 calories dry lentils 1430 2 cans black beans 770 1 can mixed veggies 100 1 can tomatoes 100

    … yeah you’re right, you’re gonna lose some weight that week, but the high fiber beans/lentils may keep yourself from feeling it. The mashed potato’s are yummy, but take up way too much of the budget for the calories.
