Spaghetti Bolognaise? Good bodybuilding food?

[mittuberru]

As a single mom I'm often short of cash and a couple of times a week have to make myself low cost meals to stay within budget. Spaghetti bolognaise is an easy one as you can use any pasta (cheap!) and make a tasty sauce from minced beef, diced onions, black olives and tomato puree/paste.

I'm guessing from it's composition that the meal would be both high protein and high carb. Is this gonna be ok to eat for a couple of lunches and a couple of dinners each week? Or will it be too fattening?

Again, welcome to MM Mittuberru! It has been shown that food high in olive oil is good for your heart and lowers the bad cholesterol. I personally would go for it.

Our sister site has a frugal section (http://www.familycorner.com/forums/forumdisplay.php3?f=658) that isn't all food related. You could also check that out as well.

Good luck! I look forward to getting to know you.
