“If you have access to the fridge and microwave, bagged Salad with Chicken (or a vegetarian supplement) can be a great option. I am also a fan of the serving size of flavored tuna.”

“An easy, quick, and healthy meal I serve my family once a week is high-protein penne pasta with marinara sauce and a side salad. It wouldn’t cost much and can be enough for 4-6 servings (so there are leftovers if you live alone).”

“Two ideas that came right to my mind are: Eggs scrambled with whatever sautéed veggies or cooked meats you have on hand and Kielbasa sausage (find it near the lunch meats) and a jar of sauerkraut.”

“I’m a big fan of soup. If you have access to a stove or cooking pot, then canned soup can be an inexpensive and comforting meal (tomato soups and vegetable soups are some of my personal favorites). If you don’t, some microwavable options are also delicious.”
