I go to college and I want to know if anyone can help me with some different dinner ideas. I have a kitchen so I can cook but I don't have that much money to spend on food. Please help I would love some quick and easy recipes. Dinner and snacks are a big problem... I never know what to eat. All I have right now is chicken.. and it's getting old! I will be checking in later. Thanks

Lots of ideas here http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=39

Thanks for putting me in the right direction!

There are tons and tons and tons of free recipes on here. You can do a search on this site to find a 'mock' recipe of pretty much ANYTHING you can think of ex- ice cream, cake, mac n cheese, etc etc. The recipes are awesome!! Are you looking for anything specific?

no nothing specific just something quick and easy. Thanks

thanks for the ideas.. yeah I have been boiling a lot of eggs lately... it's a good snack right before class!! thanks again for you input! :-)

dude buy Eggwhites: and just whip up some eggwhites: put salsa on top: quick and easy if yourina rush
or buy an eggplant, cut it into rounds, put in the microwave for about 5 min....let cook, season with whatever u got and BAM a nice yummy mushy snack haha: my fav....
orrrr if you just want another type of snack: cabbage is KING, every night before dinner, or just when i get hungry i cut a nice CHUNK of cabbage froma head and eat it with mustard, sounds funny i know but just try it!!!! its so good!

hey girl, as far as snacks, raw veggies are the way to go!! I make sure to always have cut up carrots, celery, or grape tomatos in my fridge. I usually store them in gladware, that way when you get one of those cravings for something on the no-no list, you can just grab some veggies and munch!! and flavored water, un sweet tea, or crystal light are great drinks!

Cabbage + mustard? Sounds like something I heard of back when the "negative calorie diet" was popular. IMHO, if its gonna be a satisfying snack, its gotta have some nutrients to it.

i love cabbage too.
and tuna is cheap.

Cabbage has nutrietns, plus its sooooo good. I mean, cabbage is filling as hell. Unfortunately for me I have to watch out for that stuff, it definitely makes me gain. A lot. Its one of those allergy foods for me.

Cabbage makes me gain a lil too, bloat if you want to call it, but it goes away after a good night rest...... drink some peppermint tea after you eat cabbage, that may help!

Giasbash, i noticed that you and me have the same current weight.
and lots of the same eating habits.




as for a good quick snack.. get a 5 lb bag of carrots, and when you have some free time, peel and slice them into sticks, put in baggies, and you'll always have a healthy snack to take with you.
or do the same with celery and a small tupperwear container of reduced fat PB

tuna iin the pouch!!! You don't need a can opener. It's great for pre-work out snacks, cause it's straight protein! 0 carbs!
