I (26f) am the highest weight i’ve ever been. I’m 270 lbs and I gained 90 of them over the past 5 years, after a fairly big 50 lb weight loss in 2020 (very depresso, ed way, do not want to repeat). Right now, I’m living at home with my parents and working a part time job. I’m applying for better positions and hoping to hear back soon but damn it feels like every check disappears within days (cc debt, student loans, car payment, health insurance, pet food, everything). I’m drowning but I’m applying for ebt so hopefully i can get it but rn I have some money (50-60ish) every two weeks that can buy food but it usually ends up being coffee and random snacks. That 100% needs to change to actually groceries though but I don’t really know what to buy?
Since I live at home I’m fortunate my mom cooks pretty frequently but not super healthy. Delicious though. I know I’m still going to eat her food a couple times a week but I do want to cook for myself more. The times that i’ve grocery shopped for myself in the past, either (a) the entire budget goes towards like one or two recipes (b) I’ve gotten like salads, salmon and veggies, and things like this but I never end up making it cause I don’t wanna cook after work and it’s so much easier to eat what she made (c) I make the food and I’m not satisfied so I still eat what she made (d) Or if neither, then I end up using whatever gift cards/points I have on apps for free fast food.
I know cutting back on sugary coffees and drink overall will help a ton along with going on walks to start but outside of that, I need easy things that I can prep so that when I get home I can just eat it but still feel satisfied and good about what I just ate.
What are some budget friendly and easily prepared recipes that you guys tend to gravitate towards? Also any tips you have for grocery shopping on a tight budget?
