    The slow cooker is your friend. Soups and stews an be super cheap (use lots of veggies, inexpensive cuts of meat) but you do need to be careful of sodium. If you put some chicken breasts in the slow cooker seasoned to take with liquid, you have an easy pulled chicken recipe. Add veggies, and you're halfway to dinner.

    You really should look at Pinterest, as mentioned above. There are a ton of healthy and low budget ideas there.

    My Oatmeal Recipe - 200 Cals
    1/2 cup of oats - 150 Cal
    1/4 cup of milk - 35 Cal
    1 tsp of Sugar - 15 Cal
    Lots of cinnamon

    I find it very filling.

    Frozen bags of broccoli are great, or any vegetable for that matter (that is frozen). Great value brand is very affordable. If you're going for the mega cheap route, don't hesitate from eating eggs. You can add a LOT of vegetables to eggs to make them seem more appealing. Onions, peppers (red, green, yellow), tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. The options are endless. That is my go-to food when times are rough. :)
