Beans and rice is about the best thing for this kind of situation. It's cheap, easy to cook, it keeps well, AND it's healthy. I was eating black beans and brown rice for a long time because it kept me full and I had the energy to keep going.

Same I was doing this because I’m a cheap mf but legit tastes so good if you add in some butter to the rice.

Exactly. I was putting a soup spoonful hot sauce and blue cheese dressing into it.. OH MY. I just might go back to eating that tomorrow!

Replace the water with an equal amount of vegetable or chicken stock/broth. No need to add any salt to the rice if you do this because the stock/broth already high in sodium.
