PG, you're a great entrepreneur, but a terrible dietician.
You should eat lots of fruits and vegetables, a reasonable number of calories, and lean meats.
The best thing to do if you have a pair of co-founders living together is get a CostCo membership and eat every single meal at home.
Buy $2/lb chicken and ground turkey, and huge cartons of Spring Mix and other vegetables. Buy a huge sack of rice for $20 and a huge bag of flour as well. Buy the cheapest of fruits - oranges and apples - but buy them by the case.
You can eat a balanced diet for just slightly more than rice and beans, feel better, and be more productive.
By rice and beans I didn't mean a recipe with literally two ingredients. I'm assuming you put stuff like peppers and onions in the beans. Or meat if you like. I'm also not saying you should eat rice and beans for every meal; just that most people have a default, and this is a good one if you're short of money.
When I was knocking on doors for a living, rice and beans kept me alive.
Of course you need to eat other ingredients, too. But r&b is a good default, it will keep you from starving, and it costs even less than ramen if you buy in bulk.
You're much better off eating eggs instead of meat. Much cheaper, less time to prepare, much more nutritious. Dairy products are also a less expensive source of protein and fats. Rice and beans and eggs is pretty much an ideal meal in terms of nutrition. Add in some base vegetables (onions, carrots, whatever else is cheap) and fruits for extra vitamins and anti-oxidants and you pretty much have an ideal diet.
