Can anyone recommend a good budget diet?

Funds are really tight right now, and I wanted to know if I can still eat decently healthy on a low budget.

Eat lots of tuna. Tuna is about $0.60 a can, and each can has 32.5g protien.

Egg whites are good too. 6 Egg whites and 2 slices of toast will give you maybe 30g protien.

I know tuna is cheap and good for you, but I detest the stuff. Thanks for the input.

Carb sources like potatoes, rice and pasta are relatively very cheap compared to protein. If you are looking for cheap protein but detest tuna, try purchasing Optimum Nutrition's 10lb bag of whey for $50, can't beat the price. For protein sources besides supplements try skim milk, and beans, which you can put in chili with some lean ground meat for an excellent meal.

Canned Tuna can contain a some mercury, so it's not in your best health interests to be packing that shit it. I'd say 2 cans of canned tuna, max, daily...
YUM

tuna and bbq sauce

anyone ever tried this besides me? (its only 44 cents here) It helps to take away the fish flaovr and makes it sort of takste like pork bbq....Just a thought, i know it will add sugar and sodium, but if all your concerned about is money then it might not matter to you. You could also try some no sugar salad dressing....As you can tell, I get tired of the taste of tuna as well. Hope this helps anyone out who doesnt like tuna either.
