/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I know we have had plenty of threads in the past where we list cheap foods but I wanted to list the super cheap meal plan ideas that I have thus far. I am about to be in a tight budget situation and need more ideas.

Breakfast:

Scrambled Eggs
Oatmeal
Grits

Lunch:
Egg Salad Sandwich
PB Jelly Sandwich
Tuna Salad Sandwich

Side : Carrots or Pickles

Dinner:
Red Beans and Rice +Sausage
Chicken Breast and Potatoes
Baked Potato with preferred toppings
Egg Drop Ramen


Dessert:

Cottage Cheese + Canned Fruit Topping

I am going through a rough time in my life currently. I am needing to stay in shape though for some jobs which I am working towards. I always skip breakfast as part of my meal plan but I need healthy lunch and dinner ideas that are extremely cheap/high in protein. I refuse to take handouts for food from the gov so disregard that idea to alleviate this problem. Any good ideas?
