If pic related is a significant portion of that diet, you are in for some rough times healthwise.

I highly suggest you drop the ramen and invest in brown rice and dried beans. Its cheaper or the same per calorie as ramen, and you can add more varieties of flavor to it. Much, much healthier.

Go to /fit/ if they manage to bulk on budget, you should maintain your weight with no problems.
It's more about dedication than anything else. Make a plan and stick to it. I repeat, make a plan. It's important to know for each day in a week what you'll eat and how much. And count your macros so you won't feel like shit, there are a loot od free apps for this kind of stuff.

Rice, oats, peanut butter, beans, eggs, bananas, apples, frozen broccoli. Buy in BULK.

rice- 50 pounds for 20 bucks
beans- 20 pounds for 15 bucks
frozen broccoli- 10 pounds for 40 bucks
peanut butter- 40 pounds for 40 bucks
oats- 50 pounds for 50 bucks

between the beans and rice, you can eat a pound of each per day and get 2,000 calories. that's about 2 dollars a day, which gives you 1 more dollar of pure enjoyment.
