1. Is there any way you can fit another meal between meals 2-3. Four hours is a very long time. Anything will do. Even if work gets in the way, make 4 or 5 hard boiled eggs (eggs are very inexpensive) and eat them on your way to the bathroom or something.
2. Meals 2 and 4 need some carbs as well.
3. Meal 3 needs some protein. How's about eating your chicken breast with your baked potato for meal 3. For meal two have a large tuna sandwich, which is also very inexpensive. I get cans of tuna for $0.99 per can. So that's 32 grams of protein for a dollar.

Cheap carb sources are:
1. Begals (55 grams of carbs)
2. Oatmeal (50 grams)
3. Cereal
4. Sweet Potatoes in a can
Cheap protein sources are:
1. Tuna
2. Cottage Cheese
3. Eggs
4. Ground Turkey (instead of beef)
Also remember to check the grocery store ads because usually there's a sale on certain cuts of meat. I also usually go to a store like Costco and buy my meats, milk, and eggs in bulk. For example, they sell boxed sets of 2 gallon milk jugs for $3.99.
