Coffee with a little milk for breakfast
Enormous Salad with canned tuna or sardines for lunch
Pasta or fish or chicken with tons of vegetables for dinner
No dessert.

Go to bed hungry. This will be fairly affordable.

Animal products not periwinkle!

We are trying to do less animal periwinkle. I look for for plant based recipes. Basically legumes and vegetables whole grains and generally cheap fish (sardines and mackerel) are best (though not tastiest). I’ll do veggie curries with yogurt; Asian stir fries but also I like the cookbook Mediterranean Light (Marcella hazan).

We do broccoli chickpea whole wheat pasta a lot (add hot pepper and raisins). I sometimes mix my pasta with with spaghetti squash.

Bean soups (white bean with rosemary)

Lots of grilled and roasted veggies. Gazpacho season is coming and I can’t wait.
