So when I diet, I don't usually follow a certain diet. I wonder if there are some more improvements to make to my diet. I'm on strict budget and spend only about 30-40 dollars a week on food for me and one other person. I logged my food for a couple of days and it doesn't seem like I'm eating a lot but I haven't been trying to go hungry, just eating small meals and not having time to eat between classes keeps me limited on calories.
I've lost 13 lbs since the beginning of January, but have been inconsistent with my diet (cheated several times) but overall, improved my eating habits. I only eat a little bit of meat, maybe maybe about 2 lbs per week. I do eat plenty of eggs, though.
I'd love to hear some healthy recipes or tips on balancing this kind of eating .

Comments: I'm working on maintaining my current level of caffeine which I reduced by A LOT. I will eventually cut out the diet mountain dew and may reduce to 1 cup per day when I can manage it. I'm not feeling that hungry. I'm not exercising much but a little,house cleaning and walking at college, plus maybe 10-15 minutes a day.
