I am feeling hungry sometimes but I am not good at food choices. I just am not sure what to do and sometimes I can't afford to go out and buy all the stuff to have some of these good meals I see posted on here. Please if some of you would let me know some cheap but good food idea's I am bad at sticking to the same exact things to eat. We all know that is boring! But I just don't want to make any bad choices or mess anything up!
How about string cheese? Cottage cheese? Apple slices with peanut butter?

I do cheese sticks, apples with peanut butter also.

Chicken thighs and chicken legs are usually much cheaper than chicken breasts, and again, can be prepared so many different ways. Something that may also help is to make bigger batches of food (like crockpot chicken) and freeze individual servings so you can increase your choices without having to cook each time. Also, I have priced muscle milk and it seemed pretty expensive, at least to me. I'm thinking there must be more economical protein drink choices out there. And one last comment...I didn't see any fruit, vegetables or whole grains in your sample menu. Just sayin...
