Mac and cheese, frozen dinners, chips and dip, none of this is helping me reach my goals! I'm looking for easy, healthy, but most of all cheap recipes. I would love some meals I can make in bulk so that I can eat the leftovers for a few days. Breakfast is the hardest. Grabbing a donut is so easy but it certainly doesn't fuel me for a day at college! But there just isn't time to make eggs every morning. HELP!!!

    You can make hard boiled eggs the night before and grab a few in the morning.

    Breakfast: Greek yogurt and a banana. Both easy to just grab and eat when there's time.
    While your gathering your things for the day you could: toast a bagel or heat up some oatmeal.

    Snacks: Keep a bowl on your counter full of serving sized bags ready to go
    -Fruit bars- full serving of fruit and veggies :)
    -Raisins
    -Nuts
    -Crackers
    - Fruits and Veggies: Cut them up as soon as you get home from the store and put them a serving or two in a bag so you can just grab a bag and be good. Need dip? Find the little condiment cups with covers (probably can easily get them at Sam's or walmart) and put in a serving of ranch or peanutbutter.

    Hope that gives you some ideas

    Try a whole wheat sandwich round with some peanut butter, a medium banana and some grapes. Literally takes 3 minutes to put together and 5 minutes to eat, so not a problem if youre busy. As for dinners. you can make whole wheat pastas with low sodium, no sugar sauce and ground turkey and freeze it. If you need more help, a lot of people have their food diaries open to check out.
