Basic, healthy diet?!
Any very basic diets out there that would fulfill this?
Answers: I live and work in NYC, and am also a full time student- so basically I have about five bucks a day to spend on food. The difficulty is that the "work" part of the equation includes being a Pilates trainer, so I have to have a balanced diet to keep my energy (and nutrition) up. I'm also a vegetarian.

So you have about $35 a week to spend.....
All prices are what they are going for in the area I live in (Texas) - but should be pretty close to the amount you have to spend.
I would suggest a bag of potatoes (which is going for $1.99).
Fresh fruit - bananas (.33 a pound) - apples (3 for $1) - pineapple ($1 each) - strawberries ($2 a quart) - bag of grapefruit (has about 15 per bag - $2).
Bag of pinto beans (.75) - bag of rice (.70) - Bob's Red Mill TVP ($1.99 a bag).
Garlic (3 for $1) - Leaf lettuce (1.25) - roma tomatoes (.98 a pound) - onion (.99 a pound) - bell pepper (.79 each) - kale (1.49 a bunch) - carrots ($1.25 a bag) - cilantro (.99 a bunch) - avocados ($1 a piece) - leeks ($1.99 a bunch).
Soy milk ($1.99 a carton) - if you do eggs ($1.55 a dozen) - cheese - - totally depends on the type that you get and if you do dairy. Bread ($2.50 a loaf). Margarine - ($2 a container).
So totally possibly - you just have to plan your meals - stick to a list - and your going to have to cook vs. having the easy quick fix meals that do make life easy at times.
Just means that you are going to have to be very conscience of what you buy and make sure that you only buy what your going to eat.
Edit:
Also - having friends that are willing to have you over to eat - a big PLUS!! :)
yes pick up some bush's baked beans (they come with vegan) and some whole grain rice. This provides you with all the needed amino acids for muscle development. then follow this guide mypyramid.gov for serving sizes.
vegetarian food is the basic healthy food take raw vegetables like carrot, cabbage,and leafy vegetables daily and a glass of milk and fruit juice is the healthy and best food i suggest
