The top picture is what i have been eating on a regular basis for breakfast. The shakes i found at sharp shopper for 2.99 for a pack of six so that's like 50 cents a can. they are 190 calories and 10g of protein, the doc says the more protein you get in the better that it helps to curb hunger. the yogurt was a dollar from walmart sometimes you can find them for 89 cents but i wasn't that lucky. now don't buy just plain yogurt cause that does nothing for you. this is greek yogurt which once you realize it doesn't taste like the "normal" yogurt you buy its good. it has 2x the protein, so that little yogurt is 100 calories and they range from 10g of protein to 14g depending on the flavor. Now the veggie burger heres a couple things i have learned on this journey so far first off you have to be willing to try things you might not normally try, those little veggie burgers are 170 calories a piece and 16g of protein. i think i paid a dollar for that pack at sharp shopper and there's 4 in there you can't beat a quarter a burger. now with that said don't get this and expect to get the same satisfaction as you would out of eating a "normal" burger cause you aren't gonna. however they aren't bad in flavor. i had one today with a individual veggie side that you put in the microwave. if i had kept that package i would have taken a picture for you too but i didn't oops. I intend to do a whole list and prices next time i go to sharp shopper. But for any of you that know what its like on a budget you have to work with what you got. I can't afford fresh for most meals so i try to count the calories in what i can afford and try to buy as healthy as i can, but anyone that's been to sharp shopper knows it changes what they have often so you never know what your gonna find. I did find some great deals when i was there last but the blog idea came up after that's why i don't already have a list made up. Tonight for dinner we are having hot dogs i know not that good but i will count the calories and be fine, potato wedges that i got i think for 1.50 for the bag and maybe some fresh tomato slices that i got from a local farmers market and boy are those tomatoes sweet.
