<human>: My friends' family basically adopted me a few years my real family is pretty much non-existent. I'll refer to them as if they are actual blood family for the sake of simplifying things. My sister is in London studying abroad for a year, and her biggest issue is homesickness. So my brother, myself, and a mutual friend of the three of us are planning a trip to London during a school break so that my sister can break up the long periods of not seeing family.

Trouble is that I'm a poor college student who really shouldn't be buying plane tickets. On top of working any extra hours I can at my job, I figured the next easiest step to save some money towards the flight would be to cut back on food. Now the problem with that is my voracious appetite, especially after I go running. I ate pretty well this semester for about $40 a week. I KNOW I can cut it back to $20 a week, but I'm kind of at a loss as far as what to do about proper nutrition. I love my meat, but that's easily the biggest expense so I figured a diet without it would be cheapest. So does anybody know of any healthy meals that can cover me for a week (assuming I eat 2-3 meals a day)? I stress the nutrition aspect because I run every day, and I don't need to be keeling over in the forest before class because of some strange deficiency.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
