The 718g last a week though, so it's more like $2 for a 5lb bag of seeds.
I have no frame of reference for how reasonable that is, but it's more reasonable than $.25/5lb bag.

There are 1600 calories per pound of dried beans (https://modernsurvivalblog.com/survival-kitchen/calories-per...) 3.5 oz would contain 350 calories.
The average person needs 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day. No, this guy isn't living on 350 calories per day.
This is a lot of bulk and water, so I can eat for a half-hour and feel full and hydrated for hours, but I do get hungry in the evenings when it's best I don't eat too much.
I could benefit from losing 10-20 pounds, but I'm holding steady eating like this, so I'm probably getting those 2,000 - 2,500 calories a day (I'm much less physically active than I used to be). Using smaller bowls, not snacking, and making meals more of a ritual rather than an indulgence might be helpful in reducing total consumption, slowly rather than precipitously. I do like the taste of these one-pot sprout-based meals, as it's a way to exercise control over my environment. That search for control may well be part of the problem.
But he's buying bulk coop beans, so it's cheaper? All the bulk coop beans I can find online are actually more expensive, like $3-$5 a pound.
