sometimes I'll eat a lot of veggies with a whole table spoon of butter. The butter fills me up and it takes a lot of most veggies to get to 100 calories.

I have been looking for a red lentil recipe! Thank you. I'll try it tonight.

you could experiment with lentils, they are high in protein and fiber and super cheap. (use a recipe because they are bland!) If you eat them with brown rice that will add to the nutrition, and then it's just a matter of counting calories. Beans and rice at the quinesential cheap food. Also simple sandwhiches can be…
