Gestational Diabetes on a budget??

[Lolarosemama]

My goodness food is so expensive at the moment!!

Anyone else diet controlled and found any cheap meal hacks? I’m finding the cost of eating well so stressful, but I do want to stay diet controlled.

I ate a lot of Mediterranean bean recipes, chickpea Thai curries with coconut milk, eggs, and cheese. I had a lot of seeded wholemeal bread, had it daily with peanut butter. Same for wholemeal pasta, although I know that's different for everyone. Bought lots of cheap big bags of nuts at health store and had with Greek yoghurt and fruit.

My treat meal was baked Camembert with veg sticks
