    ditch all the sugar drinks and drink plane old water, like out the toilet.

    Rice and beans can be made in 1000 different ways. $1/lb uncooked.

    Eating out is almost never a healthy option.

    Healthy and expensive don’t correlate in my outlook. I spend less eating better. Factor in not eating out and my pockets are fat, but not my ass.

      Eating out is almost never a healthy option.

      This is a big deal people often don’t realize. Even something as simple as an alfredo pasta will have way too much butter in it when you order it at a restaurant. (Why do you think it tastes so good?) An entire stick of butter for a single serving is quite common.

      Not only is cooking for yourself significantly cheaper than ordering food, you are also significantly more aware of the calories you are putting into the food.

      Too many people think eating healthy means broccoli needs to be 100% of your calories.

      “If you want to be healthy, you must suffer and just eat beans and drink toilet water”

      What a great argument for healthy living.

        Go into the produce isle for once, veggies are cheap…fish and chicken is cheap. A single trip to McDonald’s for 2 is like $25 or more now. You can get like 6 or 7 whole chicken breasts for that price and have money for potatoes and fresh veggies.
