Affordable healthy food ideas?
I need some food ideas, for breakfast lunch and dinner and snack that have good amount of protein and carbs, and fats. I cant think of anything? And maybe a little affordable.

For suppers, things like turkey and the slow-cook beef cuts are very cheap. If you get hold of some turkey mince and combine it with grated onion and apple you could make some lovely turkey burgers and serve each inside a wholemeal pitta. Stewing/braising beef is delicious and very economical. Combine with root vegetables, onions and barley to make a casserole.... if you have a slow-cooker this can be set going in the morning to be enjoyed later on. Minced/ground beef is also quite reasonably priced.... bolognese sauce for pasta, chilli con carne. Serve with cheap, cheerful wholewheat pasta or brown rice...
Protein:
Eggs
75/25 chop meat (cooked as meat sauce or meat loaf)
Whole broiler chickens
Carbs:
White rice
Dry beans
Lentils
Dry split peas
Bulk white potato sacks
Veggies:
Collard greens
Kale
Onions
Fat:
Tallow
Veggie oil
PB
frozen vegetables and fruits (still have a lot more nutrients that canned), oatmeal, grits, bag of apples or oranges, hamburger
This is a budget friendly breakfast that I ate for a while:
1/2 cup oats, 1 cup milk, 1 banana.
Oats a dirt cheap, and bananas are $.33 a pound. Milk is rising in price, but if you can find store-brand, it shouldn't be a whole lot.
[edit] Oh, and for fats, you could try almonds or pb.
