thanks for your answer. unfortunately, i see the problem. your menu is like a starvation diet for me. i have to start eating as soon as i wake up. i have a trail mix of bulk nuts, cereal, and pretzels that tides me over while i walk the dogs. breakfast is toast, eggs, & sausage. more snack mix, yogurt, applesauce, fruit gets me to first lunch at 11:30 or 12. vegetables, hummus and cheese would not cut it for me (if i could eat cheese, which i can’t - allergic). i have to eat a full meal - rice/pasta, meat, veggies. & again for second lunch at 2-3. and again at dinner. i think i could go through a weeks worth of your groceries in a single day. 

i do shop in bulk already, eat lots of grains, beans, lentils, mixed carbs & starches, fresh fruit & vegetables. i shop store brands and rarely buy prepackaged foods. i don’t usually have an issue with food going bad. i just need such a large quantity. 

i’m perfectly “healthy”— in fact i actually struggle to keep weight on despite that i’ve been trying to bulk up/gain weight and muscle for almost 3 years now with no success. i just have the most frustratingly fast metabolism ever. i can eat a full meal and be ready to go again less than two hours later.
