As we all know low protein foods are a lot more expensive than normal foods...at least 3x more. I am fortunate, when the state finally started covering up to $200 of food. My doc, dietician, and metabolic nurse made the arrangements for assistance.
Regular Food: Low Protein Food Cost:
1 doz jumbo eggs $3.34 Egg Replacer 12 oz box $6.99
1 doz Cinnamon Rolls $3.99 Cinnamon Rolls-pkg of 8 $9.95
Hamburger Buns 8 pkg $2.99 Buns 8 pk $16.99
Cheese Slices 16 pk $5.99 Cheese singles 16 pk $16.99
Spaghetti 16 oz pkg $3.99 Spaghetti/pasta 17.6 oz bag $14.98
Well you get the idea. The price of low protein food is insane. Unless you have assistance it's hard to keep these on hand. There are several states that offer the assistance: Texas offers a $200 a month allowance but only on approved foods but No desserts
And if there are others that are disabled and can't spend a lot of time cooking/cleaning there are what I call heat n eat products. They're very convenient and very pricey, but for the most part worth the price. The prices posted do not include shipping. Cold/dry have different costs and minimums I've seen a $50 minimum for cold ship foods-$30 minimum for dry foods. I found as much as $75 minimum on one companies products
Here's a list of some of the low protein foods shops
