Hi i am not too sure what the cost of living is like in alberta but i can give you a rough idea of the cost in a medium size town (kitchener) in ontario
an apartment can range from 500-2000 dollars a month depending on how nice you would like your apartment to be. another option is to rent a room which usually ranges from 350-800.00 in a shared house.
(theses are all Canadian prices)
food well a box of cereal is about 5.50 here and a pizza around 18-20. you can get four chicken breasts at the grocery store for about 12.00 and butter is 4.50. (those are just a few products but if you compare those prices to what you are paying now in Australia it might give you an idea what the difference might be)
in general i would say i spend about 60.00 a week on groceries (thats splitting the cost with my fiance, about 120.00 a week for the two of us but we usually buy meat and cheese and milk so you could make an effort to spend less than that for sure)
not sure about the cost of a car but a bus pass in my area is about 100 dollars for six months.
a ticket to the movies is about ten bucks.
dinner out varies depending on the place i would say eight to nine bucks for a burger and fries and most middle of the road restaraunts. And if you hunt for good value restaurants you can get a gourmet meal for about 30.00 a plate.
booze is more expensive here than in the states and bars charge pretty different rates depending on where you go but a beer might cost about four bucks on average.
for clothing prices well it really depends where you shop for a pretty nice sweater like 60.00 but you can get good clothes for 20.00 an item as well .
hope that helps! it was all the random stuff i could think of! if you check kijiji site for jasper alberta and look under apartments for rent it should give you an idea of whats on the market and what your rent might be like!

What are some simple, healthy, 300 calorie meals?
HorseLover
With at least 20 grams of protein, and some vegetables. I need ideas for lunch and dinner (I'm ok with rotating 2 or 3 meals throughout the week, instead of having a big variety of meals).
I need at least 1 lunch recipe and 1 dinner recipe to be vegetarian, if possible (if not, that's ok).
I'm going on a low calorie diet for a week (to speed up my weight loss. I'm not doing the diet and then going back to my normal eating - I will continue to lose weight following a healthy, sustainable plan I've made). I'll be dong strength training to prevent muscle loss.
Also, do I need to take a multivitamin during the week I'll be on the low calorie diet? It's only for a week, and I already take hair, skin, and nail vitamins (I think a multivitamin would cause me to have too much of certain vitamins in my system, because my hair vitamins have over 100% DV of some of them).

You ought to try going to myrecipes.com. It's the website where magazines like Cooking Light (my fav), Food and Wine, Southern Living, Real Simple, Sunset and many others have all of their recipes.
They have this great "Nutrition Search" feature that you can tweak search results to get the perfect recipes. For example, lets say you want a main dish chicken meal, less than 300 calories per serving, low carb....just set your search criteria and it will give you many recipes to choose from. All of the Cooking Light recipes list nutritional information. It is completely awesome.
It is my most favorite place to find recipes. I use it probably every other day. You can rate and review recipes and read what other readers have to say. Please try it...you will love it
