If you are hungry, on a budget, and around Boston's West End, check out the Eat Street Cafe at Massachusetts General Hospital.  Tucked away in the basement just beyond the MGH main entrance, the cafe offers a wide variety of choices from muffins to deli sandwiches to main dishes and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Most dishes have calorie counts posted to help you regulate your intake.  There's even a nutrition guide booklet of all of the menu items.  For $2.75 you can get a bagel, a hearty serving of scrambled eggs and 6 oz. Tropicana orange juice.  Salads are 35 cents per ounce and deli sandwiches are three to four dollars.  
Breakfast for 2.75: A bagel, a hearty serving of eggs and a 6 oz. Tropicana OJ.

Now lets get something straight - it's a cafeteria.  If you are looking for a fancy sit down restaurant, this isn't for you but if you are looking for healthy options that taste good for their price in a clean setting (it is in a hospital after all) then try the Eat Street Cafe.    If you are laying down mucho dinero at the swank Liberty Hotel, the Eat Street Cafe right next door is an easy way to save money.
