Breakfast: Some sort of cereal; for mornings that I have more time, I might make an omelet and toast. Snacks: Peanut Butter Sandwiches Lunch: Turkey, cheese, lettuce, condiment on wheat, apple, cottage cheese Dinner: I usually get home late so I don't have the energy to cook. I love to cook though so I do all my cooking on the weekends and store it for the week. Spaghetti with Italian sausage is cheap to make and lasts 3-4 meals. Stir Fry using frozen chicken breasts, rice, and frozen stir-fry vegetables is also cheap and lasts for a few meals. For my "nice" meal, I usually buy a manager's special (a couple days from being unsaleable) London Broil or a pot roast and have that with potatos and peas. Then there's always the old constant of beans and rice any of the 5000 ways you want to prepare it. I'm not a ramen fan btw. There are plenty of healthy, cheap alternatives. In Sacramento, this diet costs about $45/week.
