Try a VEG THALI - at an indian restaurant....inexpensive complete and healthy

Many people often forget what a serving size of meat actually is. Often when you buy a chicken breast at the grocery store, steak etc, it is much bigger than the recommended serving size from Canada's Food Guide. If one serving of meat (aka the size of a deck of cards, or the palm of your hand) does not satisfy, vegetables and meat alternatives (beans, lentils) are a great way to fill a meal. For example, if I am making tacos with ground turkey or chicken, I will buy the smallest package possible and add black beans to increase the portion. Add grilled peppers, onions and lettuce to round out the meal!

To the person who was worried about making a filling meal out of veggies: Your body will adjust itself so fast after a very short transitional period that you won't feel hungry as often and, trust me, you will feel full with a small meal. There are other things like beans, grains and so on which you can eat too with better nutritional values than meats at much lower cost.

I wouldn't do away with meat altogether as it's part of a healthy diet. But there are lean meats and ways to cook even fatty meat to make it healthier. I'd much rather have a small amount of high-quality tenderloin mixed with a vegetable stir fry than a steak any day - just as satisfying. However, let's not forget that so-called expensive vegetables (and other healthy, yet economical items such as beans, lentils, and whole grains) go a long way. When I moved in with my husband, he lived off of Kraft Dinner, Pizza Pops, and other unhealthy junk - unfortunately he also had to eat two or three platefulls just to feel satisfied. On the other hand, high-quality, nutritious food fills you up for less. Yes, you may find that you spend twice as much on "healthy" items at the grocery store than non-healthy items (which can also be included in a healthy diet and which we still keep on hand for those nights that I don't want to cook), but you'll also find that you eat a lot less to get the same feeling of fullness which translates to no more money spent at the grocery store.

DOWN WITH MEAT! I'm veggies all the way!

A box of burgers? Seriously? Don't plan on living long when those frozen burgers start clogging up your arteries, not to mention your digestive system. Veggies are way cheaper than a box of burgers and if you team them up with pasta or beans you have a very filling cheap meal. if you are worried about meat prices being high, try ground chicken or turkey, also chicken legs or thighs and pork can be an inexpensive alternative.

I agree. Meats are the killer at the checkout, and because of their prices, I don't eat alot of them! No, I am not a vegetarian by any means, but I know I can get the nutrients and vitamins from cheaper sources such as vegetables, grains, breads, etc. I am single with no kids....how do families do it and not break the bank???

I don't know where you live buddy but where i'm from meat is a lot cheaper, a big box of frozen burgers beats the price of a cart of veggies anyday, i wish i could justify buying more veggies but their just too expensive for the price and how much i would have to eat to make a filling meal out of it

Foods that usually break a persons budget are meats. Veggie's are always relatively cheap regardless.
As for a superfood...any veggie you pick is going to have health benefits! There is not a single vegetable on this earth that does not have benificial properties. I find this artical usless as it is already comon knowledge. How about "How to keep the wad in your pants at the meat market!" Wad being the size of their wallet. If you can make one for cheap meat, I'm game ;)
