5 Cheap Muscle-Building, Fat-Burning Foods



Does it cost more to eat healthy? This misconception is why many dieters fall off the bandwagon.

While it is true that some healthy foods can definitely increase your grocery bill significantly, there are many other cost-effective options you can consider as well.

Plus, if you add what you spend eating out to your grocery bill, you'll find that in almost all cases, the unhealthy diet you is actually going to be the pricier one.

Nevertheless, if you know the top cheap sources of great nutrition to be including in your diet, you can easily eat healthy on a strict budget.

Let's walk you through the most cost-effective foods that you should be adding to your diet plan.

1. Eggs

One of the cheapest protein sources that you can find will be eggs. Not only are eggs a great source of high quality protein, but whole eggs also provide a wealth of nutrients in the yolk.

While you don't want to be eating too many whole eggs per day since the yolk could increase your cholesterol levels, one to two eggs per day can be part of a well-balanced diet for anyone in good health.

Or, choose egg whites to do away with all the cholesterol and consume almost pure protein.

Best of all, it's very hard to get bored of eating eggs because they can be prepared so many different ways.

2. Canned Tuna

Canned tuna is the next food that you should be adding as part of your diet plan if you are looking to keep your grocery bill down.

This food is nice since not only is it cost-effective, but it's ultra-fast to prepare. You just open it up, and it's ready.

If you're on a budget and short on time, this should be your go-to protein source.

Canned tuna can be jazzed up by with salsa, sliced avocado or any other veggies. Or, prepare a tuna burger by mixing the meat with an egg white and some oats.

With almost 100% pure protein, this is a great food for getting lean.



3. Bulk Foods

The next place to visit if you want to eat on a budget is the bulk foods section. Many people completely overlook this as an area where you can get a number of healthy foods, but it is one of the best spots to stock your pantry.

Bulk food bins contain whole oats, brown rice, quinoa, barley, whole wheat pasta, seeds and nuts at a lower price than you would normally pay for them. It can also be a place to pick up high-quality dried herbs and spices in small amounts.

You'll always save by purchasing in bulk because there's no packaging involved. Definitely take advantage of this discount.

4. Natural Nut Butters

The next cost-effective form of fat to be eating is natural nut butter. Purchasing whole nuts can get a little pricey, even from the bulk bins. Natural nut butter is a cheaper option that delivers the same wholesome nutrition.

Plus, there are so many different serving options with natural nut butter that it's a great food to have in your plan.

Don't limit yourself to just natural peanut butter. Consider natural almond, cashew or walnut butters as well.

5. Frozen Vegetables

Prices on vegetables are hiked when buying outside of the local season. That means a cheap dish in the summer may not be so affordable in the winter.

Another thing to remember with vegetables is that if you purchase them pre-cut, you will pay a premium so you'll want to avoid that convenience whenever possible.

Furthermore, don't overlook buying frozen vegetables. These are often far cheaper and will still contain the same nutrient density that fresh would. Plus, they last longer. You can also buy fresh produce in season and freeze it yourself.

For those who often find themselves tossing fruits and vegetables because they went bad before they were able to eat them, this is a perfect way to avoid that wasted cost. Frozen vegetables can be prepared quickly and easily as well so they're a great option for busy lifestyles.

So there you have some of the most cost-effective healthy foods to be eating if you want to watch your grocery budget without sacrificing nutrition.

Remember to take advantage of sales when they go on as well, and stock up as best as possible. Especially with good sources of protein such as chicken, fish or beef, if you can get a good sale, you can easily freeze these protein staples for later use.

If you're smart, eating healthy definitely does not need to break the bank.

Hi, I’m Bridgette and I’m 41 years young! I’d like to share my story of how I lost 32 pounds in 29 days with RESURGE Deep Sleep and HGH Support Formula. Did you ever notice that when you’re fat, men don’t look you in the eye? They look across your shoulder. There’s no eye contact. Up until two years ago, I was never looked in the eye. By anyone. I was too tired to be a lover to my husband. I was falling asleep by 8 o’clock most evenings. When I did go out for an evening, my husband was ashamed of me. And he said so to my face. When I walked, my thighs brushed together. I couldn’t even cross my legs. I was fat. Not just “overweight.” Fat. I was 5’5 tall and weighed 205 pounds. About 18 months ago, my husband George left a “Dear Brenda” letter on my dresser. And filed for divorce. I knew that my weight was the source of my troubles so I tried 14 different diets. One by one. And I failed at all of them. The chance encounter that changed everything ...
