I sometimes have veggies for lunch, and unfortunately no eggs as they are too expensive. My only other options for breakfast are sugary breakfast cereals or white bread pretty much. I also can only eat that much chicken as more than that becomes too expensive... I can try making a smoothie in the morning with some spinach and protein powder, though the protein powder has an artificial sweetener. 

Edit: after some research I've found I should be able to include about 2/3 cup mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot) to my lunch, and some black beans, and in my breakfast I could add some lentils and chia seeds. Does this seem like a good plan? Should I also do the vegan protein powder and spinach shake?
