DR. RODGERS: Eating healthy can help you keep your New Year’s resolution to lose weight and keep it off. But can you eat healthy on a budget?
Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at NIH.
Eating healthy on a budget is possible.
- One way is to plan meals for the week by checking store ads for sales then making your list.
- Another way is, if you buy too much, freeze the extra for later so it doesn’t go to waste.
- Also, you can use up leftovers by adding them to stews, soups, or casseroles.
