Dinner: sauteed veggies + starch (usually pasta, sometimes rice or barley) + sauce (usually tomato, sometimes teriyaki). Or mac'n'cheese, which I buy in huge quantities whenever it goes on sale. My roommates and I split a local farm share, which enforces a certain amount of variety on the vegetables (and by "variety" I mean "chard").
I eat breakfast. Often oatmeal, lately I've been doing full-on french toast with bacon and tea - it's only an extra 20-30 minutes and makes a huge difference in my day. I used to keep packets of instant oatmeal at my desk for breakfasting...
Lunch is leftovers from dinner, or a frozen meal (I like Healthy Choice) supplemented with yogurt and/or fruit, or I'll eat out (which, sadly, I've been doing 3-4x weekly...)
I have a hard time remembering to eat enough protein; hard-boiled eggs are good additions to lunch but only if I'm thinking ahead.
I end up with ~$100/mo. from Safeway, another $20 for the produce share (which isn't really a full supply of produce), $20-$50/mo. impulse purchasing from Whole Paycheck on my way home, and then $100/mo. again eating out for lunch... I'm still floating on my corporate whore money so the budget crunch hasn't really hit yet.
