Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Don't skip it if you are traveling, you will be walking around 10kms that day and you need your energy or else you will be in a bad mood and nobody will like you. Try and stay in hostels that serve free or cheap breakfast and stock up. You will get free coffee, carbs, and if you are lucky even some protein. These hostels usually cost a couple bucks more but it is so worth it. Especially if you are hung over from the night before. If your hostel does not serve breakfast, buy a carb at a local shop and get your coffee from McDonalds. It's cheap coffee, and if you're in Europe, it is often one of the few places with take away cups. Follow this and you can easily eat for about 3 Euro.
Lunch, this one is easy. You will be running around like crazy all day, trying to see as much as possible. You may be tempted to have a big sit down lunch but don't. Grab some street food, or head into a local shop. To this day, one of the best meals I ever had was marinara sauce, bread and cheese. We just dipped the bread and cheese into the sauce and went to town, I think in total it cost me 2 Euro. You will obviously need to sit, so head to a park if its nice out, or eat back at your hostel, most have kitchens.
Dinner. Ok so its the end of a long day, and you will probably want some drinks later on, so don't skip dinner. I like to spend my money here. Do yourself a favor and don't eat by a tourist attraction, the price will probably be double. Go down a smaller street, or ask a local...it'll save you a ton of money in the long run. I had a meal in venice. It was straight off the canal and it cost me 10 euro. I had a better meal about half a km away for about 4 euro the next day. If you are in a non-english speaking country and the menu or the signage is in English....run away.
I got this heart attack in Budapest for 3 Euro. I'm still full.
