Nutrient & Energy Density
Nutrient Density: the amount of nutrients per gram. Nutrient dense foods have
a lot of nutrients per gram.
Energy Density (kcal/gram): the amount of calories per gram. Energy dense foods
have a lot of calories (aka energy)per gram (these typically are also low in nutrient
density).

![Page 22: EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET - … · Energy Density (kcal/gram): the amount of calories per gram. Energy dense foods Energy dense foods have a lot of calories (aka energy)per gram](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021803/5b9a4eab09d3f294728d7ed7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Monthly method
1. Choose 30-40 of your favorite recipes that you can rotate through. Add in a couple of new recipes.
2. Take a brief inventory of staples and basic ingredients before you go grocery shopping.
3. Start the month with a large shopping trip, buying anything that won’t go bad and perishables to last for 1-2 weeks.
4. For weeks 3-4: Refer to your meal plan and shop weekly, if needed, for needed perishable items (e.g. produce, dairy).
a. Use more canned or frozen produce
b. Use frozen meat
c. Use beans, rice, etc.

Additional Tips
![Page 27: EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET - … · Energy Density (kcal/gram): the amount of calories per gram. Energy dense foods Energy dense foods have a lot of calories (aka energy)per gram](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021803/5b9a4eab09d3f294728d7ed7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Convenience costs
Convenience foods like frozen dinners, pre-cut
vegetables, and instant rice, oatmeal, or grits will
cost you more than if you were to make them from
scratch. Take the time to prepare your own-and
save!

Leftovers
Make big batches to use during the week, use in
another recipe, or freeze for later use
Spice up your leftovers-use them in new ways. For
example, try leftover chicken in a stir-fry or over a
garden salad, or to make chicken chili.
Remember, throwing away food is throwing away
your money!
![Page 30: EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET - … · Energy Density (kcal/gram): the amount of calories per gram. Energy dense foods Energy dense foods have a lot of calories (aka energy)per gram](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021803/5b9a4eab09d3f294728d7ed7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Eating out
Restaurants can be expensive.
Save money by making your own lunch or dinner
instead of going out
If you do eat out, get the early bird special, go out
for lunch instead of dinner, or look for “2 for 1”
deals.
Drink water
![Page 31: EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET - … · Energy Density (kcal/gram): the amount of calories per gram. Energy dense foods Energy dense foods have a lot of calories (aka energy)per gram](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021803/5b9a4eab09d3f294728d7ed7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Additional tips:
Use fresh produce early on and use canned or frozen produce later in the week/month.
Hardy vs not-so-hardy produce
Get input & ideas from your spouse, children, or friends/roommates
Make enough for leftovers
Create a fall back
Buy meat when it’s on sale. Portion & freeze.
Use less expensive proteins
Buy in bulk if it’s cheaper and if it’s in your budget
Control what’s in your food by making your own!
