The problem is they offer very little in terms of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and amino acids \u2013 they are nutrient poor. While such foods might be cheaper than quality produce, they most definitely aren\u2019t healthy. If you want to cover your nutritional needs properly, you will have to branch out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>My advice: buy foods that are not advertised<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It might sound strange but the fewer ads you see for a given food, the higher the chance that it\u2019s healthy and affordable. Think about it \u2013 broccoli, carrots, dry beans, rice, raw meat, none of these have big marketing teams pushing sales and profit. These primary ingredients carry a lot of vitamins and minerals and they are very filling and satisfying to eat. So, if you want to eat healthy on a budget, build your diet around wholesome ingredients from the following food groups &#8211; vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, eggs, meats, and fish.<br \/>\nThis series is all about teaching you the right habits and tactics to make it happen.
