Hi Crimson, I agree with Jess -- you may find the most savings in figuring out how to make one meal everyone can share, rather than two sets of meals. That's got to be hard if everyone else is on a low-fat diet, but with some planning I think you could pull it off.

For instance, you might make baked salmon (buy frozen from Costco, much cheaper) and steamed broccoli for dinner. Add a crust of ground nuts mixed with butter to yours, but season theirs with a low fat marinade. Make rice for them, and a cream sauce for you (or just lots of butter on the broccoli if you're too busy to make a sauce just for yourself). That way you'd all be eating basically the same meal, but it works for everyone's diet.

If you're sick of meat, try some tofu, TVP (textured vegetable protein) or edamame (fresh soybeans). They have some carbs but it might be worth it to have a change from all meat, all the time.

yours, Sarah
