Look into Freezer Meal cooking - you can buy things in bulk, pre-cook, and freeze in a ziploc bag. Not sure what you mean by "healthy." If by healthy you mean organic / non gmo /health food store type foods - that will be a challenge on a budget.

If by healthy you simply mean ordinary nutritious food - it can most definitely be done. I buy meat when it's on sale - boneless skinless chicken breast, chicken thighs, and hamburger meat are my favorite cause you can do SO much with them.

Try these:

Also - chicken thighs w/ barbecue sauce, with baked potatoes & a salad (or baby carrots if your kids won't eat salad)
Home made mild chili with a lot of beans - cheap N yummy
Chicken tacos
Beef tacos

If you are the only one watching your weight / calories, then you just eat what everyone else is eating, only have more veggies / salad and less of the higher calorie foods / less bread, etc.
