I see peoples food log and I have no idea how to do that. I am in college and barely make enough to pay the bills. All that good for you food is so expensive. I try to get what I can but I'm on more of a ramen budget. Any tips on how to make this work??

Thank you!

Learn to cook and how to shop sales/generics. I'm in grad school and feed myself on 20-30 bucks a week.

It's taking me forever to teach my bf, I've always been broke and he makes a lot of money, but now we're saving and he misses his $9 a cup coffee and has to put up with my $6 a kilo coffee! Ha ha

you dont even look fat at all. But anyway look for the cheaper fruits like apples and for protein go with whey, nuts of some kind, or low fat dairy.

Certainly learn to shop the sales/generics as shanpwn said. Also, clip coupons if you can or print them from the internet. If you have a local farmer's market shop for your produce there because it's always cheaper plus you'll be supporting your local agriculture businesses. Oh and stop eating ramen...it's horrible for you! LOL

Even if she isn't fat, a diet based on ramen will destroy her health

Look for foods that are rich in nutrients & low in cost, ie canned beans, frozen vegetables, brown rice, bags of salad (romaine or baby spinach! iceberg is the 'white bread' of salads). It really isn't hard or expensive when you plan properly & don't make excuses for yourself. Eating healthy now & spending a little more money is a hundred times better than eating **** now & paying for it in medical bills later.

I would love to know what you eat! I spend $50-60 on myself per week. I'd love to go down to 20-30, but that seems nearly impossible.

Soups you make yourself can be great. Look in the meat dept for packs of chicken backs or thighs. Pile them into a big pot and cover with water, simmer over low heat and skim off the foam. Then simmer for a few hours with a few carrots and some celery (look in the veggie aisle to see if they have the 'last sale date' veggies - they're fine for souls). Strain, remove chicken and shred. Now you have a base - add more veggies one night, some drained black beans and tomatoes another. Look at foodnetwork.com and click on Chefs, then Melissa d'Arabian. She has $10 dinners - they serve 4 so you can make a batch and eat for the next few nights.

go to markets. go to the shops when they are near closing cos they will reduce the stuff that they will have to throw out anyway.

buy bulk, cook lots and freeze leftovers.
