Eating well on a budget: practical nutrition advice
Good nutrition does not have to be expensive. Local, seasonal staples are often the most affordable and the most nutritious.
- Beans, groundnuts and other legumes are a low-cost source of protein.
- Buy fruit and vegetables in season, when they cost less and are freshest.
- Cooking at home, even simply, is usually cheaper and lets you control salt, sugar and oil.
A nutritionist or dietician can build a plan around your budget, your health goals and the foods you already eat — book a consultation to get one tailored to you.
