if you know how to go grocery shopping eating healty is cheaper than eating fast/frozen foods.

rice, veggies, pasta, fruit, and eggs are cheap as hell.

i can feed me, my GF, and our 2 kids for about $8-9 for a dinner bought at the grocery store compared to $15-20 at some fast food ----. and i'll end up with leftovers for my lunch the next day

cooking is the best but its just so much easier to throw in a 1$ pizza in the micro. another fast alternative is cereal and theres some good cereal out there thats good for you. im cheap and dont have much time before work when i eat. so i make it quick. on the weekends i eat chinese or whatevers cheap. i also need a bigger fridge/freezer. i got a mini fridge right now. its hard to store much of anything in there.

Word to that. I make fried rice all the time. Frozen vegetables taste a million times better than canned too.

actually those $1 pizza arent as bad for you as you might think. only bad part about them is the sodium and they taste like ***. read they box, you'll be suprized


thats because they arent loaded with salt and other chemicals. a bag of california mix(brocolli, cauliflower, carrots) in the steamer w/ garlic pepper and a bowl of basmati rice

No ---- . At the cheapest whlesale price a pound of real ground beef is just under a dollar. I dont know how much a cheese burger is but I dont think its more than $1. If it were real beef it would have to be atleast $5 to make a profit on it.

I used to cook every nite. But after the restaurant I got burned out on cooking and now I'm lazy and hardly cook. I can feel my arteries clogging as I type this . I need to stop being lazy and start cooking again because both my wife and I can afford to lose at least 10LBS. Summer is comeing up soon and that helps because wer are allwasy at the lake and at least on the weekends we eat lots of salads(tuna,chicken), sandwiches, or I just pack the small grill and throw some beef or chicken on there. Plus the swimming doesnt hurt eather.

Lately I've been addicted to the Jack In The Box chipotle chicken chiabata sanwiches. They are packed with sodium saturated fat and other yummy tasting things that arent good for me. ....but man they are good :P

exactly, only fast food i eat is subway and quiznos. Given they arent completely 'good' for you, and they are expensive but its much better than eating jack, mc'd, kfc, and so forth. I quit eating fast food for 2 years and started again in september, i stopped again about a month ago. Once you stop for a while, eating fast food will ---- your stomach up, and you wont want to eat it anymore. Although fast food is a good way to gain weight.

Burger King has the Chicken tender salads. Just take the light Italian and throw out the chicken

Jacks Soth Westen Sald is the ---- too. I just use about 1/4 of the dressing packet.

I hate it when people drown their salads in dressing and think that because there is salad under the 2 jars of ranch dressing they just poured on they are eating healthy
