Just cause it comes out of a can, doesn't mean it's bad. So don't worry about buying a bag of beans and soaking them overnight and all that hassle. A

can of pinto beans has tons of fiber and protein and even the worst of cooks can open a can of beans.

Chicken is the least expensive protein and it's super versatile. Buy it refrigerated or frozen. Or search your supermarket for a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. A lot of times they're pretty

cheap and you have nearly a weeks worth of protein already made.

Spinach is full of everything good and it's the cheapest of the dark, leafy greens. If the idea of spinach isn't appealing, give it a try. Mix it with lettuce

in a salad, saute it with some other vegetables, or throw it into your favorite smoothie. The flavor is very light, so you'll get all the nutrients without even realizing.

For about $2 a bag, that's a pretty good deal.

Eggs are the ultimate broke power food. Good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and usually under $3 a dozen. If you need a little more protein or don't have any

meat on hand, just cook up a couple of eggs and you have a meal in under 5 minutes. 

Cans come to the rescue again! Tuna is quick and easy and is a good source of B12 and Omega 3 fatty acids. Great to throw on a salad or

add to your avocado toast, tuna will keep you full for under a dollar.

Oats are the cheapest of all breakfast options at around $3-4 a canister, and super versatile. If you don't like waking up early, prepare some easy overnight oats or whip

up a hot bowl in the microwave. We often don't get enough fiber and oatmeal fixes that problem first thing in the morning.

Berries are delicious and super good for you, but they can get pricy. But frozen berries are good year round and are usually abut $3 a bag. Add them to

your oatmeal or smoothies, you won't care that they're frozen when you taste how delicious they are.

Another savior from the freezer section. How many times have you bought a bunch of vegetables with good intentions and then wound up with a bunch of rotten veggies in

the fridge the next week? With frozen veggies, you never have to worry about that. It's a cheap way to make sure you've got some vegetables to go with every meal.

A bag of dried lentils costs around $2 and provides at least 7 meals. Dried lentils are way easier to cook than dried beans, in fact you can have a delicious

lentil soup ready in under an hour. Plus, they're full of protein and iron, both of which are often lacking in a woman's diet.

Salsa has almost no calories, is made of vegetables, and tastes great. If you're getting tired of your chicken, beans, or veggies, just add some salsa and you get instant

flavor. You could make your own, or just get a jar for under $3. Believe me, your taste buds will thank you for keeping this condiment around.
