What can I do? I am on disability and my apartment does not have a stove/range , my only cooking options are a microwave and a foreman grill...the local (walking distance) stores are a Family Dollar and a Dollar General. So that doesnt give me many options here for healthy food.

See if you can get a friend to buy you these things as presents? And a rice cooker.

When I moved here from oversea I had literally nothing. No furniture, no cookware. As soon as I found an apartment, though, my friends had me hooked up with a couch, pots and pans, and some cheap Walmart dishes. I'm often grateful for what I have.

I'd honestly suggest you're paying too much for your home if you can't afford basic things. Scour craigslist for free and cheap items you need.

Chicken breasts on the grill, frozen bagged veggies in the microwave, raw veggies, raw fruit, low carb/calorie tortillas with stuff inside, canned soup in the microwave, grilled squash/eggplant with the lid open, tuna and light mayo, etc.

What do you mean by healthy, OP, do you need to lose weight, keep low sodium, what? Does your disability pose any problem with certain foods?

Rice cookers are good but in my experience the cheap ones only do white rice, good if you need calories and bad if you need nutrients.

I'd recommend a hot plate/electric skillet ASAP for eggs, though. Awesome fr cheap protein.

Then cut expenses somewhere, you need to eat to live. Buy a hotplate or something, and quit your bitching.

White rice
Eggs

Hmmm, skipping breakfast isn't bad. Have coffee for breakfast. If you dont believe me on my word, google up on leangains or intermittent fasting. If you do, then just skip breakfast.
