Am also a fan of bread and noodles and did eat alot of it while in school. I ate alot of rice too, but they were not so rich in vegetables even though I love lettuce and cabbage, vegetables are expensive here since they are not readily available.
Later on it was a good idea that I decided to learn how to farm, with that I was able to live less expensive and cut down the price of buying some of these food stuffs like vegetables and rice.
Beef is available here too but you can only get a some few pieces with $2. We have more poultry meats now since more farmers are engaging in raising birds
I totally agree with you that its possible to eat healthy meal on a low budget while traveling.
@monica-ene What makes vegetable difficult to grow over there? is it because the temperature?
Its not difficult to grow.
Just that so many people are not into farming.
Only the older people go to farms and there is a limit to the quantity of food and vegetables they can produce
