So yes I'm currently in college with no job so money is really really tight. I don't want to use this an excuse to not lose weight so any suggestions in recipes for breakfast, lunch, && dinner...Thank :)

    Breakfast: Oatmeal (yummy, versatile, cheap and filling)
    Lunch: Sandwiches with veggie sticks and dip (whole wheat bread, some turkey and cheese, add some carrots, celery, bell peppers and a dip made from yogurt, sour cream or homemade hummus)
    Dinner: Rice and Beans, Whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce and chicken or tuna, soups are always good and filling.

    Yes, that's just as healthy as long as you don't get the flavored kinds which have a lot of sugar.

    I get the big containers or buy in bulk and then add my own toppings: unsweetened applesauce, cinnamon, raisins, cranberries, nuts, berries, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, maple syrup... it never gets boring :)
