Eating healthy on a budget

[swisscheese]

Right now I buy a combo of ramen noodles, pastas, fast food, etc

I'd like to change to a healthier diet but the thing is I'm poor as dirt right now.
Is there any books or approach you could recommend ?

Do you have any favourite cheap but healthy food that you like to eat?

Thanks.

Rice and Chicken,

buy a bag 10 kg bag of rice and chicken breast. my friend is doing it, really cheap and healthy, go with brown rice, if you get sick of it change rice, use some curry or something less indian as more taste

Eating well is for the middle class and above. What, is he too good for microwave pizza and macaroni?

Go to a local farmers market rather than a chain supermarket. On the weekends here produce is often marked way down in prep for Monday. Budget brother, budget! This time of year you'll find massively reduced prices on chicken, turkey and hams that stores stocked up on for Holidays. If you have a freezer, enough zip locks and a sharpie..you're golden. If you have the patience and a little bit of free Earth..plant some seeds and do some gardening.

Buy a rice cooker, eat rice.
Learn to cook potatoes.
Do not eat processed food or anything with flour.

If you can force down food your throat you should make jelly.
