Healthy eating on a budget.

Tips for protein.

// THREAD //

1. Some great low-cost protein foods include:

beans, peas, and lentils such as kidney beans, lima beans, split peas, and garbanzo beans (chickpeas).

They cost far less than a similar amount of other protein foods.

2. To lower meat cost, buy the family-sized or value pack and freeze what you don't use.

Choose lean meats like chicken or turkey.

When choosing ground beef, make sure it's lean (at least 93% lean) ground beef.

3. Seafood doesn't have to be expensive.

Try buying canned tuna, salmon, or sardines, these store well and are a low-cost option.

4. Don't forget about eggs!

They are a great low-cost option that's easy to prepare.
