Healthiest and cheapest lunch dilema?!
Healthiest and cheapest lunch dilema?
Please, i need some ideas
I am a student living in catered halls, which does not serve lunch. I don't have the money to buy a sandwich every day. Previously I have brought cereal, but I have the problem that if i have food in my room i eat the food, so a 750g cereal box can be gone in 3 days!!
Is there anyone that can think of a healthy and cheap food stuff which i can buy in small portions!
Answers:
Bumble Bee Nonfat Tuna Salad packs. They're about $2 each, and 140 calories overall. Inside there's a can of tuna salad and a little package of whole-wheat crackers. Delicious.
fruit and veggies.
Fruit. Buy a piece at a time or a few.
Bananas are filling and nutritious.
Soups are good and if you shop around there are loads of varieties. You can also add things like rice and bread for cheap filling meals. In fact...there isn't much that can't be added to soup...a bit of fresh veg...?
Do you have access to a microwave?
Tuna with some light/free mayo, and use mustard and relish to cut down on the amount of mayo you use. a little s/p = delish!
egg salad
tuna salad
sandwich wraps made with whole wheat tortillas
boiled eggs
yogurt
granola bars
fruit
pasta salad
Subway makes a killer veggie and cheese sub that is pretty cheap, too! I used to live off 'em!
