Things to report for the day:

Well this is the end. I had enough food to get me though but just barely. If tomorrow was the day that more money would come in I would not be able to have breakfast unit after I shopped. If it were a work day that could complicate things. Not a lot of food to carry over to the next week. But it is something. I weighed myself and I lost exactly one pound. Not a huge amount of weight but it is surprising when you considering that I ate almost a pound of brown sugar this week.

 

I will add in a picture of the food that is left tomorrow. It's late.

 

Thoughts of the day:

Based on my experiment I believe that it is would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to meet the USDA dietary recommendation while living on food stamps. Nothing really ground breaking today. So I do not have a lot of thoughts to add at this point. But I would like to say that I am grateful that of the worries I have in my life, worrying about putting enough food on the table is not one of them and I would like to thank my wife for being patient with all of this.

If you found this series of posts interesting in the slightest I would strongly encourage you to duplicate my experiment. After all the scientific method require that others be able to reproduce my results in order for my theory to be sound.

I plan on doing two more post on this topic. Tomorrow I will post some instructions about how to do this experiment. I would be very interested to follow someone else experience though the process. Then sometime next week I will write a more detailed capstone of my thoughts on this whole process.

Thank you for following this and feel free to ask me any questions you may have about my experiment.
