Cheesy Beanos
This is a Scottish twist on the classic student dish of Beans on Toast. Not only does it give you a balance of carbs and protein provided by the bread and the beans, it also buffers your insulin response to the carbs and protein by adding fat from the cheese. This is a super cheap meal that can be used as a snack, lunch or even dinner. It'll keep you going when you're low on cash, and for some, it'll even be a favourite due to the combination of the moreish cheddar, sweetness from the beans and crunchiness from the toast.
