I have been trying to eat cleaner lately but to get up to my calories with fruit veg ect there isn't enough food in the house! We are on a very tight budget and theres me my partner and our three kids to feed. My partner doesn't want to ear clean so its very difficult to get enough food in. Plus he is only aloud to eat things like white bread and pasta as he has ibs which is made worse by grains ect. I don't want to be selfish and demand more stuff for me!

So I was wondering if there is any good very cheap food that can push my cals up and stop me finding excuses to eat rubbish?

    per kilo to be honest, fruit and vegies are cheaper than ready made foods, pasta is a cheap food for your partner, pasta sauce is a low cal food for you. So cook them seperatley, give yourself a small serve of pasta, lots of tomatoes and sauce, give him more pasta.
    Thats just one idea but you get the gist of it.
    I cooked chicken and carrot tonight, added a jar of pasta sauce, sprinkled cheese over the others when I served it, and added rice to everyones plates, just a little rice for me.
    Sure you will come up with other ideas.
    good luck!
