If you eat this for a year will you die?
FTFY.
Many professional nutritionists will advise you to balance every meal with carb, protein and fat. In other words, you need more than just porridge for breakfast, as although it might be considered 'healthy' it is lacking in fats and protein if you mix it with just water or semi-skimmed milk. The advantage of balancing carb, protein and fats is that it will slow digestion and make you feel less hungry.

Oxymoron.
Why knock Waitrose?
Have you considered hitting your local market for fruit and veg? Should be better and cheaper (and supports local trade). Failing that, Aldi / Lidl? You pay less of a premium for fruit that won't win beauty awards.
If this is purely a cost thing, good god man, what's wrong with rice and pasta? There's many a student subsisted for years on nothing but dried pasta, tinned tomatoes, a refill pack of oregano and 2L bottles of White Lightning.

Ha, like it. Gotta sustain this though.
I really like getting told I'm spending too much - I'm notorious for being tight-fisted among my peers here so it's good to know there are others on the wavelength! People I know here piss 40 euros up the wall 3 nights a week and 80 at weekends and lose any possible financial independence in so doing. Can't stand it.

Sustaining is entirely my point. You need variety, a) for health reasons and b) to stop you going round the bend. Stuff like rice (I'm talking the dried stuff at 10p/cwt rather than the farty little sachets that "serves two" and costs you two quid because they've added water and a couple of peas) adds bulk and is full of, uh, marrowbone jelly for a healthy wet nose, or something. Cereals, pulses, nuts, all good.
A lot of rubbish and unconventional theory posted on here.
I concur.
It's what we do best. What do you think this is, Wikipedia?
Oh.
love it - many thanks!
