Healthy Eating Doesn't Have to Be Expensive
One of the biggest myths in fitness is that you need to buy expensive supplements and organic imported superfoods to be healthy. The truth? Some of the most nutritious foods are the most affordable. Here is a sample day of eating that balances protein, healthy fats, and carbs without emptying your wallet.
Breakfast: Oatmeal Power Bowl (~$1.50)
- Oats: A massive bag costs pennies per serving. They provide slow-digesting carbs for energy.
- Eggs (2): The cheapest source of high-quality protein.
- Banana: Potassium for muscle function.
Lunch: Tuna & Rice Salad (~$2.50)
- Canned Tuna: Packed with protein and Omega-3s.
- Brown Rice: Buy in bulk for maximum savings.
- Spinach & Olive Oil: Simple greens and healthy fats.
Dinner: Chicken Thighs & Sweet Potato (~$3.50)
- Chicken Thighs: Often half the price of breasts and more flavorful.
- Sweet Potato: Loaded with Vitamin A and fiber.
- Frozen Mixed Veggies: Flash-frozen at peak ripeness and cheaper than fresh.
Total: Approx $7.50 / Day
