[quote=Anonymous]She needs protein and whole grains to stay satisfied

Give up any snack foods (especially individual portioned ones) they don't last and are expensive. 
For snacks stick to cheap fruits (bags of oranges/apples instead of berries), veggies (carrot/celery sticks), almonds, cheese. Avoid buying a lot of bananas or spinach at once, things that go bad and end up in the trash.

For lunch tinned tuna or cottage cheese (awesome source of protein) cold grilled chicken breast, hard boiled eggs. In sandwiches or salad

For dinner make your own soups and stews. It will make chicken/beef stretch and you can bulk up the stew with kidney beans to make it more filling. theyre full of fiber and protein.

Beans + rice is super cheap. Add grilled chicken/steak/shrimp for fajitas. Black beans flavored with/cooked in chicken stock is good.

Cereal is expensive and not filling. I would stick to oatmeal or polenta for breakfast with fruit. Toast with a protein (cottage cheese, turkey bacon or sausage, eggs, yogurt (larger tubs are more cost effective) [/quote]
