Oh ya. Sara Lee reg white bread is 120 cal.'s
I like Sara Lee bran 45 cal bread. The slices are thinner than reg thickness of other breads. It is best not to use bread as a filler. I use it for taste n to hold together an egg r salad ( sandw )

Ewwww! Eggs with eyes sound REALLY gross! It's true, though, that the less expensive food tends to be less nutritious.

I've heard people make comments about overweight people on welfare and say disdainfully things like "they must have plenty of money for food". I've never been on that kind of public assistance, but what I noticed when I was REALLY having to watch my money was that I absolutely couldn't purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Filled my cart with hi-carb, cheap foods like mac n cheese, hamburger helper, cheap canned vegetables, etc.

Walmart has a few select items I buy amd what they do have is usually cheaper but with sales I spend less at the local geocery store. I get alot of fruit at farmers market we have and a few items at whole foods. While eating healthy isn't cheap I have always kept fresh produce even when I had much less money. I buy based on sales and what's in season so I don't find that much more than before.

It is technically possible to eat healthily and cheaply. But it is a lot of hard work - pre-planning every meal, lots of batch cooking, shopping around for the best prices and for discount coupons, going out of your way to farmer's markets - not everyone has one nearby and travelling there can be an extra expense, either in petrol or public transport costs. The fact is if you are working every hour you can just to cover the bills, you might well be too exhausted to contemplate batch cooking for the week, or getting up early at the weekend to catch the farmer's market bargains - that's of course if you don't work weekends.

Mmmmm doughnuts! LOL!
They are my one weakness. I've never met a doughnut I didn't like unless they have peanuts or coconut anywhere on them. Otherwise they are all fair game!

I used to buy a low carb bread at WM, bt then even cut that out of my diet. It was really good though. I think the brand was Healthy Life?

I was on mission today to locate: " Ezekiel " bread,
Kroger grocery store is only store in my area that has it.
It is located in store up right freezer. near roll n raw dough breads.
It is gluten free n healthy.
Of course it is. Jesus provided us a list of foods n hurbs that we are to eat. I use King James Bible.
A lot of today prophecy is of n based on Prophet Ezekiel.

I have add 3 to 5 egg sandw.'s. Egg being protein :) but an egg doesn't have enough protein. I eat up to 5 eggs.
I use non stick skillect. I spread egg on bottom of pan, then turn burnr on low. I use nothing to cook the egg in. no oil butter ... nothing.
I had been using sara lee, toast, 45 cal bread to use for sandw.'s

Late evening, sometimes I will have egg on 1/2 blueberry baggo. when I do I don't feel the need to do the so called mid night refg raid. I stay feeling full all night. During night I use to get up n have up to 20 oz of water, n fruit n/r veg. n/r home made trail mix.

The sandw keep me feeling full for hours, n so far I have quite bingeing.

Update on my intake of new foods to me.
I have gained 10 lbs since eating egg on Sara lee 45 cal bread.
I think that I just ate more because bread is low cal. plus I'm board.
I dread winter. I do not like shorter days n cold. winters seem like the hardest mo to not gain weight.
ya I must be liken to a bear.
Now I'm hooked on bread.
yesterday I only had 7 slices and 1 can of mix vegs and 1.5 cans of porl n beans, sigh
Today I'm only having lrg can of mixed greens, water, n coffee.
I'm not only disappointed but I'm so mad at myself.
If I can make myself eat only 2 can's of veg in 2 day's that will get me back on track.
yes I tossed out Sara lee n eggs.

Hello it's very important to keep track of your daily calories. And exceed your limit.

I went bonkers over the low cal bread. I tjought that I could have more for less. will ya I did I actually had less bread n gain more weight.
Sara lee 45 cal bread is thin but quit tastey. I just went bonkers. I also had started eating up to 7 egg n/r egg salad sandw a dy. :O
You right I had assumed w/o counting cals that I was staying in my cal range. Not.
this has set me way behind schedule.
I'm basically a shut in so I seldom get out to walk. dam legs they don't always work the way I want them to.
I'm not top heavy but because of my legs I tend to fall.

This is what I have ate today. are you ready for this. keep in mind I'm back on a binge. 2 can's of mix vegs. 1/2 lrg can of mix greens 2 gals of ice water, hand ful of fiber one cereal and heres the kicker> I was doing so good until a friend stopped by with food. I had just toss everything out of my kitchen except for dog food fish n spices. will I had 8 yes 8 slices of dam bread 120 for 2 slices.
Yes this is how I have been eating and I have gained 10 whole lbs doing so.
prior for mo I ate nothing but fruit fiber cereal n protein drink.
mo before that I had nothing but veg.'s. the down side is that it was like I couldn't get enough bread.

I soo need to fast no less than 24 hrs. but I'm OCD ing about food. I think that I even dream about food.

I don't know what to do anymore. Non, n I do mean non of my cloths fit. 10 lbs is a lot of bulk.

I normally do not eat grease white flour rice pasta
I limit starch carbs salt sugar.
yes I know most fruits are sugar

I have got to lose 15 lbs by Nov. I need to lose total of 20 lbs.

Everytime I clean out all the dam foods that my friends insist on keeping my house full of. they keep buying my fav's. Yesterday I tossed out 7 bags of Sara lee bread etc... sure enough, through grape vine, someone just had to bring me 4 loafs today.

sigh

PS I had reached 422 lbs from 105/110 . for almost a yr I held at 125/120 lbs. currently I'm 131. I assume the 1 lb is temporary water weigh.
I have 6 more days befor someone can take me to mall so that I can walk. walking is my form of exercise.

I'm rich. I have the gut to prove it, LOL
and the heels on my high heel shoes are bent , LOL
and I wasn't always bow legged, LOL
I didn't always pull chair up to buffa table, w folk in hand, n bibe on,LOL
I use to get up n get the remote control, now I just place orders.
will enough about me.

It is possible to eat healthy and cheaply. I spend $70 a week on food for myself, my husband and a 13yo boy. My focus: fruits, vegetables and meats. At least half of my bill is fresh fruits and vegetables.

How I do it: The farmer's market and butchers. Local stands are cheap, as in $0.35 for an eggplant or $0.20 per egg. All it takes is a little searching, especially if you are in a city, but they are there and cheaper than a store.

I rarely buy bread. I will make bread, so I do buy flour. At $5 per bag (100% organic whole wheat), I can make 10 loaves of bread. I figured with all ingredients and electricity, I can make a loaf of bread for $0.75-1.

Due to cost I just had to try cheap price n off brand yogret., n off brand oat meal , off brand corn flake cereal. Oh what crap. I think I wore my tooth brush out trying to get rid of card boards rotton ... taste oof these foods out of my mouth. Now I know why off brands are so cheap in cost. It's basically to save the food companys money so that they don't half to pay for waste to be hauled off to land field/ food lake.
I did note that Wal mart produce is cheap in cost.
There plums n bananas seem to be ok. I don't like thietr so called deli but their cookies looked good n there quite cheap for dozen. Other store have better tasteing cookies for close to same prices as Wal mart.
will my honey just stopped by. dam it he brought couple bags of @#&$@ foods.

Oh BLEAH about the eggs! Another reason to never go back to grocery-store eggs. I get mine from a guy who chases his around in his yard. They're out there doing wonderful chicky-things, scratching roots and chasing bugs. The eggs are delectable. The yolks from his hens' eggs are as different in coloration as the difference between a lemon and a school bus. We go through 2 dozen a week, and there's only 2 of us here!

When I do eat bread, I use Pepperidge Farm's Very Thin White. The serving size is 3 slices, and (if I remember correctly) the count is ridiculously low. Of course, I'm not counting calories - only carbs. But still. The bread itself is very tasty with good texture. It can be hard to find, but it's still being produced. Look for it.

I don't eat grains. I rarely will have a small bowl of steel-cut oatmeal.
The only sweetener our endocrinologist allows us is sucralose (Splenda), but I do rarely use a tiny bit of natural/organic honey in tea.
We're supposed to limit starchy veggies and sugary fruits, so although I do eat green peas and bananas, I eat only small quantities, and not on a regular basis.
Processed foods, such as cereals, are completely off our "OK" list.

We try to "just eat real food". That means more-or-less following a Primal diet. I can't do Paleo because I love my dairy too much! I can't digest cow's milk, but I use a lot of almond or coconut milk. Hard cheeses are good too... but I've given up the processed stuff. What the heck is "cheese food" anyway? I didn't know cheese had to eat!

We eat bacon like candy around here. I have to buy bulk packs and bake it all at once and put it in the fridge for snacks. yum! Wright's is our favorite brand... Wally World carries it, as does Sam's. I like the brown sugar flavor... but that's just a personal preference, naturally.

It's very true that the cheapest foods are the carby ones. That's part of how we got into this dietary mess we're in to begin with. Malnourished and obese. And struggling with so many diseases now which can be directly related back to diet! it's criminal. And they're STILL promoting that faulty nutritional information. Shame on 'em.

You CAN eat healthy. The difficulty isn't so much in the expense (which I find of minimal difference), but in the preparation. It takes more time and consideration to really prepare your own food. Sure it's easier to open a can or a box. But then, you "pay" for that convenience in your health. I've just come to the point that I've decided it isn't worth it to keep driving my health down for reasons like that.

Exton... thank you for reply n info.
for yrs I have through about getting 2 chick. I would only want 1 but I don't want it to be onely. The food is quick costly. it is cheapr to buy from grocery store. I no loger buy chicks in the shell. Most are less than a day being a chick 2 days will , wal mart n other grocery stores shoud advertise chicks instead of eggs.

For those who may not know: layimg chicks do not need a roaster to produce eggs/chicks.

I don't know what price to sale home grown eggs ? I have 2 neighbors who said that they would buy 2 doz a mo ea.

Regarding cereal. I hadn't through to give throught about cereal. I use fiber one cereal and cheeroes.
I use cheeroes because it's low in sugar and low in salt. I mainly use it as a filler. it keeps me feeling full.
late evening I will have 2 cups. doing so keeps my from doing the so called mid night refg raid.
Now I don't know what to have that will cause nme to feel so dan full.

Regarding low ccal bread. I found out that subconsciously I eat more than I normal would.
Sara lee 45 cal bread I was up to eating 4 to 6 slices w/in 20 hrs.
My mind lied

$70 wk : O a small bag of apples is $6.00 a small bag of plums is also $6.00 a medium size bag of grapes is $7.00 6 med size banana $0.67 lb. I normal pay $4.,, $15. for coffee, $10 creamer.
That's for 1 person ( me )
I love fresh produce. I also will eat canned beans, and frozen veg's, n frozen fruit.
When I use canned foods. I rinse w warm r hot water, n re-drain.

Tomatoes at road side stands are mighty taste but quick costly. I always go for taste. I love chilled slice tomatoes, sliced cumbers and onions. I put in bowls of water seasoned w pepper n/r peper w viniger

I do not eat meat nor diary. my body will not digest theses.
I like pop corn size chickem nuggets but that is reserved for spiecal cheat day.
However I love sea food. Alaska sea food. I sooo dislike stone crab. there's no meat olnly shell, at high price.

It is importation that we take fish oil cap.
I have always n always will. Thank God theres finally a fish cap that doesn't cause sour tummy n bad taste ( burps ).

Deer meat is the leanest.
I have a hunter.fish cabin. I use to bag bambe.
amywhoo for thise who may not know. find a butv=cch during deer season. pay back butcher at least $30 for working on your car r ddoing some task.
Butcher normaly give unwanted meat to local charitys n elderly n those in need n those who need to stock up for winter.
Tip/repay butcher. who knows you maybe giving butch money to give to his wife for a table cloth that she made your granny know what I mean.
I miss being able to hunt. darn legs. I'v reached a point in my life where the mind is willing but the body not.

Christina. I like wheat flour.
whn I make home made cakes I use unsweeten apple sauce


I almost gave into buying a darn good looking apple pie at backery inside grocery store. Boy that was hard to put back out of my shopping cart. Even now I think how good it must taste, sigh. ya I could have had a pc of pie but I know that with in 2 days, pc by pc w/in 20 hrs per day I woud have ate the whole pie.

Never heard of these brands until this week

" Harvest" bread raisen 70 cal.'s slice
" S Rosen's " dark jewish rye bread thin slice 50 cal slice.

Don't do as I did. over eat because cal.'s are low by slice.
cal.'s can add up faster than we may realize.


PS. I got the go ahead to say that in some states, deer meat can not be sold but given as a gift. so pay butcher wife for home made canned foods r couple jars of honey.

hard Rock Caf maybe a place to gamble. I like hard rock resort

Stock pantry freezer for winter, and get ready to chase the sun.
Don't forget to put lrg jar of apple juice, in cabnet, under kitchen sink area.
Aw it's nice to have for Christmas n new year eve.
Fall apples, fall road rode trip to see nature colors, n visit road side apple/veggie stands. stands also have home made apple pies, different types of sauses, juice ...
Ya I could buy apples juices ... at chain stores but I'm still for mal paw vendors. dam @$&%@ Obama,

Don't forget to have potted veg garden. I have small, inside garden, in my kitchen, during winter. I have tomatoe plants in din room because they get tall n bushy.
Next time you have green bell pepper r any seeded veg. save seeds.
