[quote=Anonymous]Dozen eggs and a loaf of sliced bread, plus butter. You can do an egg with toast for breakfast in the morning, which is a good protein hit so you aren't hungry until lunch.

Bell pepper, an onion, a handful of mushrooms (if you can buy them loose; the prepacked pint will be too $$ and more than you can use), handful of bean sprouts if you can buy them loose, an ear of corn.

Package of frozen spinach, large can of tomatoes, package of dried pasta, 2 packs ramen noodles, can of black or other beans. Block of cheese.

Night 1, make a basic tomato sauce with the can of tomatoes. Saute 1/3 of the pepper, a bit of onion and 1/3 the mushrooms. Add 1/3 of the sauce, serve over pasta with cheese

Night 2, stir fry with 1/3 pepper, 1/3 of the mushrooms, bean sprouts, ramen noodles and an egg stirred in.

Night 3, 1/3 of the tomato sauce, remainder of the bell pepper, plus a can of beans and the corn; call this chili.

Night 4; mushroom, spinach & cheese omelette with toast.

Night 5, pasta tossed with spinach and butter. This would be improved (and have protein) if you could get to a store with bulk section and buy a handful of pumpkin seeds or other nut product.

Night 6, a salad of beans and any leftover veggies

Night 7, whatever you have left, which will probably be an egg salad sandwich.

Dinner leftovers for lunch the next day. [/quote]
