Sustenance/Substanance – This is much like acorn/eggcorn. You can only eat one of them.
The cereal and banana supplies alot of substanance without fat and heaviness.

Maybe this is how Californians eat, but this Midwestern girl needed a little more substanance.

Say what you will about ramen only for cheap students, if its not for substanance, but as a good quick hot lunch, I can handle it. http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=6027
A RESTAURANT IS FAST FOOD IF: 1. The time between ordering and receiving substanance has gotta be under two minutes.

Welcome to the Forum, webforage.
A similar version (substenance or substitence) was mentioned in the forum last year.

When you say, “You can only eat one of them,” I presume one of ‘them’ is sustenance; is the other “substance”? As Adam Vero suggested in the older post, these reshapings seem to suggest something both substantial and sustaining.
