I'm trying to lose weight but my day is packed with work and gym, what are some quick meals I can cook on a budget to lose weight?

Red beans and rice desu. Very filling so you'll be less hungry. You can always add chunks of meat as well. Very cost effective.<div class="like-perk-cnt">&#x1F438;</div>

The cheapest meal to lose weight I could think of would probably be fasting.

Have you considered a bullet?

Chicken, pasta, tomato sauce.
56g of pasta = 200 calories
1/2 cup of pasta sauce is 70 calories
100g of boiled chicken breast = 165 clories

Boil a lot of chicken at once and just heat it up with the pasta/sauce.

Brined oven-roasted chicken breast, spice negotiable.
Steamed broccoli and carrots with butter (I add cabbage as well, but w/e)
Peppered jasmine rice.

The poor man's dead-simple /fit/ food meal prep. Make enough to last entire week, will still be fine for up to 5 days. Chicken will still be edible even if you can't reheat because brine. Literally a 4 year old can do any of them.

Can I used a microwave for vegetables? Or do I have to do them stovetop? I'm asking mostly for nutritional content.

>> No.12117939

>>12116792
You can get frozen veggies bags? Those work too. Nutrition is actually kept well in tact for frozen veggies and microwaving doesn't damage nutrition. It'll just taste of shit

Plov.
Cheap as chips and filling. Very cost effective when you make it for a whole weak.
