i've decided to live off of wheat bread and turkey sandwiches

That's a pathetic diet. If you're being serious about this don't bother. You won't stick to it anyway, and even if you could it would be terribly unhealthy. Stop making excuses, get your ducks in a row, and approach your diet intelligently.

I've decided that wheat bread, one thin slice of cheese, turkey sandwiches will be my lunch/dinner; and honey bunches of oats with 2% milk for breakfast

I might cheat with a gilled chicken club from chick fil a everynow and then

Some suggestions for staying with "good" foods and keeping things on track.

1) Since your schedule is busy, why not spend Sunday afternoon cooking up and freezing some meals for the week? You would then have the convenience of just reaching into the freezer for such a meal and you wouldn't have to spend anytime thinking about what to make.

2) With the hours you spend at work and in school, you mentioned little time for exercise. However, if possible, you could incorporate some exercise into your schedule. Take the stairs whenever possible. Park a little further out in the parking lot, so you can increase your walking distance a bit. Both of these options add very little time in your day.

Best of luck. 🙂

I don't think anyone has beaten Ramen + multi-vitamin for pure cost yet 🙂

Store own brand noodles + multi-vitamin.
Ramen (in the UK): 36p, IIRC
Own brand noodles: 8p
Vaguely comparable content, but ~1/4th the price
What do I win? 😛

i eat a lot of turkey sandwiches, i recommend getting the good turkey from the deli, like sahlens or boar's head, something like that. mix it up with mustard since that is calorie free. and you can mix up the cheese. what you really need to do most likely is eat less, but more often, to get the metabolism going. throw in some fruit between meals. and how about exercise!

Actually, for the best turkey, I'd look into buying a frozen turkey breast. I'd rub it with some garlic and rosemary and bake it in the oven. Now, that is some good turkey.

But, I will agree on the good deli brands, too. Boars Head and Dietz and Watson are some great ones. Sara Lee and some of the other no-name brands tend to be a bit too slimey and have some questionable content.

add cheese, tomatoes, and bananas and you should have everything you need.

Rosemary on turkey? Really? I usually just rub it with melted butter, then coat it with salt, pepper, and paprika (to make the skin golden brown). Seems like rosemary would make it bitter.
