What is Healthy Food?
Protein. The building blocks of muscles, needed for strength.
Fat. A balanced intake of omega 3, 6 & 9.
Veggies. All kinds, especially green fibrous veggies.
Fruit. Full of vitamins.
Water. 1 liter per 1000 calories you expend.
Whole grain food. Oats, rice, pasta, breads, …

2.Consume Tap Water. Bottled water is not cheaper and is not necessarily cleaner.

3.Eat eggs.

low in price

4. Eat Fatty Meats.
Fat doesn’t make you fat, excess calories do
Fat doesn’t make you fat, excess calories do

5. Get Whey. The cheapest source of protein. 70$ for a 10lbs bag lasting 4 months.

6. Tuna Cans. Canned tuna is cheap & contains as much protein as meat. Alternate tuna with eggs, meat & whey. You’ll easily get to your daily amount of protein.

7. Buy Frozen Veggies.

10. Buy Generic Food. The box might be less attractive, it’s certainly more attractive to your wallet. Brand-name food will always be more expensive. You’re paying for the name. Get real. Food is food. Go generic.

11. Buy in Bulk. Think long-term. Buying in bulk is more expensive at the cashier, but cheaper in the long run:

12. Go to One Grocery Store.
Time is money. Stop losing a day shopping.
Cars don’t run on water. Lower your fuel expenses.

13. Make a Plan. A classic, but worth repeating.
Make a list of what you need
Eat a solid meal, don’t go hungry

14. Take Food To Work. Ever counted how much money you throw away buying food at work daily?
Get up earlier
Eat a solid breakfast (like Scrambled Eggs)
Prepare your food for work in the meanwhile

15. Eat Less.

16. Don’t Buy Junk Food.

Average Waste
Americans are the champions of trash: on average they jettison over 700kg each a year.

Average human produces 1 ton of waste.

On average, American households waste 14 percent of their food purchases.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that Americans throw out over 11 billion pounds of fruit and vegetables every year.

The average restaurant produces about 8200 pounds of waste a month, over 98,000 pounds a year. About 15% of that waste is in the form of reusable materials. That means nearly 15,000 pounds of waste per month can be completely eliminated.
