Quick, easy, cheap cooking becomes a luxury in and of itself when you have GI issues that limit what you can eat. Putting together balanced meals on a very restrictive diet becomes an exhausting chore, almost exacerbated if you once enjoyed a broad diet and good home cooking. There have been many times in my life when I wished I could eat like this! Never take food for granted, not even your sad bastard dinner. That said, if you live alone, you might as well go for my old favorite: the sardine melt. Toast some whole wheat bread, gently smash sardines into the toast, sprinkle with salt, put a slice of cheddar cheese on top, put back in toaster oven to melt the cheddar. Your apartment will smell like fish, but it actually tastes really good and is very nutrient dense. Get the sardines packed in olive oil for a little extra fat and flavor. A side of boiled peas or broccoli and carrots makes it a complete weeknight meal.
