Why is eating healthy so expensive??
I'm just a college student, on a limited budget, and trying to incorporate new healthy recipes into my diet. However, I physically don't HAVE the $$ to buy lots of fresh produce each week, and the healthiest kind of meat I'm trying to eat (boneless skinless chicken breasts) is way too expensive to be buying constantly. The cheapest, easiest, most convenient foods I end up buying tend to be pasta/pasta sauce, mac & cheese, Top Ramen, frozen pizzas, etc. Those things taste good, don't take a lot of time or effort, and are CHEAP. But I can't eat like this forever. I'm trying to lose weight, but it's so hard to change my diet on the budget I am on , and the schedule I have! Auurgh!
Anyone have any suggestions? Healthy foods (mainly dinner entrees- main courses, casseroles) I can make that don't break my bank, and don't require me to be preparing or cooking for 2+ hours?

Hmm, I don't really know. But I'm sure they're are tons of websites you could look up with cheap healthy food ideas :)
Have you tried grass? Just kidding. How about peanut butter and jelly? My sisters don't like it, but I've pretty much grown up on the stuff. It's fast, affordable, and filling. Just an idea. - Bob
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I hate it that healthy foods are so damn expensive. Um, I'm not really sure on what you could get though. Try looking online or through Women's Health magazines. Good luck!
