    People who are financially strapped MUST learn how to cook (or live with someone who does) if they want to eat a healthy and filling diet--even if "cooking" means to learn a few crock pot recipes, know how to operate a microwave, know how to use a measuring cup and spoons, know how to Google recipes and watch YouTube videos, and know how to roast a chicken and vegetables. You CAN cook, and must cook, in your situation--time to stop 'trying' and start 'doing' for the sake of your health.

    For a filling cheap lunch I sometimes do tinned tuna mixed with 1/2 cup canned reduced sodium garbonzo beans, 1/3 a red pepper and 1/2 a cuke. You can always have more. I usually add some cottage cheese or feta for a littlemore flavor and a little pepper or greek seasoning. The can of beans can last at least 2 if not 3 meals. :)

    Cottage cheese can be affordable and mixed with veggies or even applesauce. Good luck!

    And peanut butter really is a great filler as many have mentioned...
