🇱🇧 Healthy Eating on a Budget:
1.Plan your meals :
You can Plan your weekly meals before shopping. This helps you buy only what you need and avoid wasting money.
2. Choose affordable Lebanese foods :
We go for lentils, chickpeas, foul, beans, eggs, labneh, bulgur, rice, potatoes, and seasonal vegetables. They are nutritious, filling, and budget-friendly.
3. Buy seasonal produce :
Choose fruits and vegetables that are in season. They are often fresher, tastier, and less expensive.
4. Cook at home :
Homemade meals such as mujaddara, fasolia, and vegetable stews can be healthier and cheaper.
5. Reduce food waste :
Use leftovers creatively. Leftover rice, vegetables, or chicken can become a salad, omelet, soup, or another meal.
6. Choose water :
Drink water instead of soft drinks and processed juices. It’s healthier and saves money.
7.Limit expensive processed foods :
Reduce spending on chips, sweets, fast food, and sugary drinks. Choose simple, nutritious foods instead.
8.Choose bread wisely :
Whole-wheat or whole-grain Lebanese bread can be a good everyday option.
9.Use meat as an ingredient, not the whole meal :
Add a smaller amount of chicken or meat to dishes with lentils, vegetables, or grains.
10.Don’t overdo olive oil :
Olive oil is nutritious, but measuring it helps both your health and your budget.
11.Watch the small daily expenses :
Coffee, juices, snacks, and delivery can quietly take a big bite out of your monthly budget. Dm Aklitna Diet Center by Rafif Rached for consultations and more tips.
