I found your other comment! I haven't ever had tofu that I've liked, but admittedly only tried it a time or two when made by a friend and I didn't want to be rude by not trying it. I am not sure about the pricing, but I think it's similar to canned meat here (Arkansas) for about the same amount. I will get some and try it.…

Yes, I get the tuna packets on Amazon for around $5 for 6 of them, those are definitely a staple for me. I don't know why but I shy away from nuts (I really do love them though) -- I will have to grab some the next time I'm out, I totally forgot that they're high in protein until I read this LOL. Unfortunately, as much as…

It might have been on my other thread. I realized after posting that I posted it first in the wrong place, so with the exception of my apology for doing that, it is in two places. I will check those comments too. I'm not really a fan of tofu, but it could be that I've never had it prepared correctly. I will try it your way…

I love cottage cheese, that is actually one of my regular foods. I mix it with chopped up veggies (tomato, red onion, cucumber, and bell pepper), top with a little pepper and eat with crackers. Is my favorite thing ever. I really think I need to try greek yogurt, that seems to me something everyone is recommending.

Because we don't own a microwave and with the exception of very few meals (usually beans or soups, things that can be easily reheated on top of the stove, in the crockpot, or in the toaster oven), we don't make enough for leftovers because that is how it works best for our budget and having as little waste as possible.…

I love fish but it never occurred to me to prep it ahead of time too. I generally keep canned tuna and salmon on hand to put on top of salads and buy a large bag of tilapia and one of salmon a few times a year. Walmart sells big bags with shrink-wrapped individual portions for around $1/lb or so -- at least when they're on…

I use dried beans for most things, except for some reason garbanzo... I couldn't even tell you why LOL but I honestly don't recall ever seeing them? I don't think I've ever bought them in a bag. - it's one of like 4 things I buy canned lol I might need to pay more attention next time I'm in the store. Lentils are my…

@Cluelessmama1979 I am in pretty much the exact same situation - age, height, and starting weight included, only it's my son who does most of the things for me that I can't do most days. Shopping is really the only exercise I've had regularly for years and even that sometimes is too much, and as you mentioned, the recovery…

Oh! I hadn't thought of making my own hummus. I love love love hummus and veggies, but the premade is a bit out of my budget to get it regularly. Never tried a spread or roasted ones, but I do buy them canned for salad toppers. I will look up some recipes. Thank you! I don't know that I have the patience to make my own…

I do something very similar but in a skillet. My son calls it "Mom surprise". It's my go-to for almost all meals. The quantities below feed 2 people once and usually have leftovers for my lunch the next day. 4 cups frozen veggies (Normandy blend is my favorite but literally anything works) 1 cup frozen seasoning blend…

I'm Sunni. I'm 44 5'2", multiple disabilities Technically my weight was done today (5/20/22) but I don't wanna wait until next week to hold myself accountable. My goal is 4lbs per month. At the moment, most physical activity is off the table due to some medical complications (that also led to weight gain to begin with). As…
