Full stomachs, full wallets.
We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their top budget-friendly dinner ideas. Here’s what they said — along with several of our own favorites.
This version takes inexpensive pantry staples — like black beans and canned corn — and roasts everything on a sheet pan. Get the recipe.
Baked and ready in half an hour, and breaks down to just $.56 cents a slice. (Or about $5 for the whole pizza.) Get the recipe.
Eating breakfast — and definitely not skipping it — is essential for revving up your metabolism if you’ve got weight loss on the mind. What you eat is also important, and no, a breakfast full of carbs like a bowl of cereal or a bagel isn’t the best choice. Getting enough protein is key, and nutritionists Stephanie Clarke, RD, and Willow Jarosh, RD, of C&J Nutrition recommend getting 13 to 20 grams. While Greek yogurt is an easy and popular option, if you’re avoiding dairy, try these recipes.

Helen Harwatt is a researcher trained in environmental nutrition, a field focused on developing food systems that balance human health and sustainability. She’s interested in policy, but realistic about how much progress can be expected under the aforementioned leadership. So she and colleagues have done research on maximizing the impacts of individuals. As with so many things in life and health, that tends to come down to food.
Recently Harwatt and a team of scientists from Oregon State University, Bard College, and Loma Linda University calculated just what would happen if every American made one dietary change: substituting beans for beef. They found that if everyone were willing and able to do that—hypothetically—the U.S. could still come close to meeting its 2020 greenhouse-gas emission goals, pledged by President Barack Obama in 2009.
That is, even if nothing about our energy infrastructure or transportation system changed—and even if people kept eating chicken and pork and eggs and cheese—this one dietary change could achieve somewhere between 46 and 74 percent of the reductions needed to meet the target.
