    One of the subs I miss from Reddit was volume eating- it had tons of tips for low calorie high volume meals so you don’t feel restricted

      I find the premade mixes from Birdseye (sold basically everywhere that has frozen food) to be a pretty good lazy way to get a big meal. Usually a decent mix of meat, veggies, and grain, but the whole bag (3 servings) is only like 600-900 kcal. Sometimes it feels like an obscene amount of food for the calorie count.

      Not bad for what’s basically a microwave dinner.

        Personally I am a broccoli freak and as fresh produce it is much cheaper than frozen at least where I’m at.

        Plus daikon radish is also available here cheap and that surprised me.

        A lot of roast veggies and soups make for a budget friendly filling low cal meal.
