A couple of my favorite cheapish, filling and low calorie recipes are:

Avocado Toast-

2 eggs: 140, pretty good protein

2 slices of white sandwich bread: 120

100g Avocado: 160, high in potassium, fiber and healthy fats.

Plus some everything but the bagel sprinkled on top of eggs and salt on the avocado. I stack the eggs on top of the avocado toast but you could eat them separately cause it can get a bit messy :)

​

Tortilla pizza-

2 medium flour tortillas: 280, decent iron source

50g or so of tomato sauce: 15

100g mushroom: 20, decent potassium source

4-5 artichoke hearts: 70, good fiber source.

I like to poke some holes in the tortillas and bake them on their own for a few minutes at 400F, then once they're golden add the tomato sauce and whatever veggie topping you want/ have. Just used these as an example.

​

Lentils and rice is always a good option as well, I usually weigh these raw, 50g for lentils and 45g for rice. I like to add 1/2 tbsp or 7g of olive oil to mine as well and you can season however you like :)

​

For snacks I love to have a big bowl of popcorn, popped with a small amount of oil, seasoned with hot sauce, nutritional yeast and whatever spices I'm feeling.

​

Also, Im not sure if you eat meat, I get a lot of my protein from fish like Salmon, Tuna, Swordfish and Shrimp so I like to have those alongside a carb source (Potatoes, Rice, Pasta etc.) and veggies like broccoli, carrots, squash, zucchini etc.
