:O Making eating plans is fun! Do you have an eating plan in mind? I'm a calorie counter, here's some of my recipes (i think they are pretty inexpensive but i havent actually calculated the cost)
Baked Potato (Semi stolen from weight watchers
) 260 cal
-potato
-some grated cheese
-fresh or dried herbs
Cook your potato (i usually microwave mine). Scoop out the potato, mix with cheese and herbs, put back into the skin/shell
Green Curry 324 cal
-2 chicken thighs
-1/4 cup brown rice
-1 tsp green curry paste (or as much as you like depending on how hot you want it)
-veggies if you want (like cauliflower)
-light coconut milk (not sure exactly how much i use, around half a small skinny can that we have here, prob around 1/4 cup?)
Cut chicken into chunks, cook in pan. Mix your coconut milk, around 1/2 cup water and curry paste in a cup, then add to the chicken. Add your veggies (if they are frozen you can start cooking them with your chicken). Turn heat down and simmer for a while. Serve on your rice (note that brown rice should be started to cook before you start the chicken, can take around 25 mins on the stove top)
Beef Stir Fry 513 cal
-beef (any cut, doesnt have to be precut into stir fry strips, what ever is cheap, cut off the fat though)
-vegetables (what ever you want, carrots, brocolli, etc.)
-1/4 cup brown rice
-around 1 table spoon soy sauce
- 1tsp sesame oil
-1 tsp sesame seeds
Cut the meat into strips for stir frying, add to your pan with the vegetables and cook. Mix up your sauce, add some water to it to make more of it if needed. Add to the pan, simmer for a while. Serve on your rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
I hope this helps! Dont be afraid to play around with ingredients!
