Ok, /ck/.
I'm sick of my dinner choices. It's always the same things.
>Digiorno's pizza (filling and cheap)
>Buffalo chicken sandwiches
>Grilled chicken sandwiches
>Stuffed clams with baked beans and buttermilk biscuits
>Halibot's Chicken Pot Pie with baked beans
>Spaghetti (beef, ground turkey or sausage)
>Progresso's Soup
Only meal I make with effort is Cajun chicken Alfredo pasta.
Give me ideas for healthy dinner recipes that are also filling, preferably in image format. I'm the kinda guy who needs to eat a lot or else I can't sleep/get restless. I'm probably 230 lbs, and I need to lose wight.
The most important thing is to learn to cook. You can eat much better this way.

>Pizza : takes 30 seconds to call for delivery and 30 seconds to deal with the delivery guy
>bottom picture : spend two hours in the kitchen
I mean sure bottom one is more varied and better than a crappy pizza, but it's silly to argue about price when one doesn't require any work compared to the other.

If you're that lazy, just do Blue Apron
>>7487622
Not saying that I'm lazy, just saying it's disingenuous to say that "X is better than Y because X is 5 dollars cheaper" when Y takes 4 hours to do. Time has value, there's a reason why we're paid by the hour.

There's also the 100% tip.
>>7487582
Where the fuck do you buy a whole chicken for $0.37?
>>7487572
>potatoes: only white/red/sweet
what other kinds are there
>>7487685
Purple
>>7487669
Stop going to whole foods
>>7487572
Make the Cajun chicken, skip the noodles and Alfredo sauce. Slice the chicken and top a nice green salad with it. Make your own balsamic vinegrette for dressing.

OP, here. Dude, I go to Hannaford, it's about $9-10 for three chicken breasts. I can slice them in half for six chicken sandwiches when I grill them.

This is well intentioned and the point is fairly well made but ... how do you get $0.34 worth of coconut milk? $0.32 worth of eggs? I get that these could just be per serving, and makes a large quantity, but like someone else said it's also a LOT more time consuming. And, depending on how much you're eating that pizza could and should also be worth more than 1 meal.
But, I appreciate the humor in a 100+% tip.

$0.03 for saffron threads o i am laffin
>>7487759
I had a post written but I realized that the picture was probably made for shitposting.
If the 100% tip didn't give it away the bananas, saffron, and potato do. Especially the bananas since $6.75 of bananas would be almost ten pounds where I live. And that's ten pounds of bananas for the one meal. Not for the week or so.

Hi, I'd like to purchase .32 cents of eggs!

There's this very big guy who looks like an olive skinned Homer Simpson that cooks one big meal he eats throughout the day, look for his videos as they're posted frequently.
Try salmon + veggies in foil. Hard to fuck up.
>>7487572
Bump, need some more, please.

There's your problem. Learn to cook - stop following guides off of 4chan and start watching non-US cooking shows, youtube channels that focus on technique rather than recipes (if they are demonstrating a recipe without using words you're not learning), buy cookbooks that are written by chefs not TV personalities, make a dish you have never heard of before, etc etc.
You already have the dietary knowledge to eat well, now you need to learn the technical skills to make it tasty.
If you're a true fitizen you'll understand that gains take work and effort, the same applies to eating tasty food.

Can you please tell me how you buy three cents worth of peanuts?
>cooking is the kitchen is cheap, just after receiving a small loan of a million dollars

Fantastic point, terrible image. My best friend spends like 40-60 bucks on food per day; eats breakfast and lunch out, and orders dinner in. She makes fantastic money at her job, but how she justifies spending more on food than rent is just crazy.

>no proper whole grains like wheat berries
Shit/10
Make stews, use lots of vegetables. They're plentiful, delicious, and you can easily adjust things to make shit more interesting. Oh and stop using these shitty image guides, they're usually crap
