In these tough economic times, do you save money by eating one meal a day and replacing the rest with coffee?

oh my god i've already had like 7 cups today since i got up and i think i had a peanut butter and banana sandwich with chocolate yogurt earlier, but i'm not sure if that was yesterday because i'm on such a caffeine craze right now that all the past like 5 days are seeming to blend together in fact i'm not sure if i've gotten any sleep lately because i can remember that i had a weird dream, but i don't remember if it was a dream or if it was real life that seemed like a dream either way i had these pieces of a camera all stuck to my body and i thought that i was infected with some sort of alien virus that was turning me into a robot OH MY GOD MY CAT JUST STOOD ON MY COMPUTER GET OFF CAT!.. ok, i got the cat off my computer it's just that my computer is a mac mini and it's just a little box and the instructions say not to put anything on top of it because the processor is near the top and any amount of weight could affect the processor and i wouldn't want to ruin my computer because in these tough economic times i couldn't afford to replace it especially because i wouldn't want anything besides a macintosh and they are way more expensive than a comparable computer, but they're totally awesome because they run great for so long and like rarely ever have problems anyway back to whatever it was that i was originally talking about that i can't even remember now because i've been drinking so much coffee and i'm kinda famished because i haven't had much to eat today because i'm only eating one meal a day because money's been a little tight lately and the only thing i had to eat today was ramen noodles and boiled carrots, but i'm not really sure because the past few days have been blending together due to little sleep and lots of caffeine and i'm like wicked hungry... oh, i think i got a headache, but i can't tell if it's because the caffeine or the food or the alien virus...

    That's actually not a bad idea...Of course I didn't read your entire caffeine infused detailed description, but I doubt if you did while you typed it.

    Source(s): I've done many things while on caffeine highs. Over typing is one of them.

    Lots of raisin Bran & other oat cereals

    I also drink a lot of coffee

    For me Marijuana is an APPETITE Suppressor

    So i do single One hits just to stay buzzed NOT completely stoned

    A 1/4 ounce will last me at least 2 weeks

    In the long run I do not spend as much

    I have 3 cats & they eat better than me I Love my Buddy's

    My sleeping has been really screwed up

    Lately i sleep all day & play all night

    Im on Disability & this is a huge help

    I did tree work fir a living & 3 years ago had a tree fall on me

    & it broke my neck & messed my Back up

    I am in pain most of the time

    I have weened my self off the Pain pills & the One hits also helps with this

    Cigs have just gone to over $5.00 a pack here

    You will survive Just as I will survive

    And we will be stronger people in the end

    Stay positive & good luck to you

    alright I have the perfect solution. ok there is a coffee drink by monster and it keeps you up for about 6 hours so if you drank one of those a night then you could save lots of money. you cant drink more then 3 because then you can die from all of the caffine. I hope this helps and saves alot of money! But in the mean time... go to a soup kitchen and get food there!

    I wouldn't have an eating regimen such as that since it may lead to malnutrition as well as caffeine overload ;) One needs a certain amount of fats, proteins and (preferably complex such as fruits, veggies and whole grains) carbs throughout the day to nourish the organs including the brain. Carbs, btw, are especially needed for normal brain function according to professionals.

    A word to the wise to please be careful with the ramen noodles as they are may be very high in sodium/salt albeit quite economical. I like those lean cuisine dinner (and weight watchers, smart ones) entrees and they tend to be on sale at certain markets.

    And *dang* man, you need to chill out on the coffee and tell your wife to go and make you a sammich. Drink a ton of water to flush it out of your system.

    Consider this your intervention on behalf of the contacts that love you.

    *cries*

    *edit* Dang whitney, I've got you beat. Forget snorting the Beans or chewing the grinds ... i've damned near gotten the coffee pot rigged to brew intravenously. LOL *sighs* It's terrible.

    First, you'll not save money. Coffee's expensive.

    Second, the coffee diet's turning you into a nutbag.

    So eat something decent and get some sleep. You might still be a nutbag, but you'll be a relaxed well-rested nutbag.

    That sounds like what I do most of the time. I drink a lot of coffee.
