Making smart decisions when you shop will pay off in all your health goals!
Maybe look into buying a slow cooker and a steamer (ask me about what I recommend) - it will set you up! If, like me, you are the shopper, cooker, breadwinner, housewife, dog walker etc....and do not have time to spend hours cooking!
I buy dried beans and lentils and soak them and make sprouts, cook them and add them to brown rice and quinoa to make a complete protein meals.
I buy ecological (free range) eggs and boil and pickle them, make them into easy frittatas.
Whole chicken that I put in my slow cooker- delicious, then I make a bone broth.
Whole cauliflower, brocolli and corgette which I steam and throw into salads during the week.
Melons are full of goodness and fill you and the family up and they are cheap! - plus you get a loaded carry in walking back from the shops!!!!
Fruit is not expensive when compared to ice cream or cookies and cake because you get so much more for your buck.
When in the supermarket skip all the cereal, cake and crisp aisles- instead fill up with decent produce, that nourishes your gut biome, keeps you full, gives you energy for your workouts and recovery and stops you reaching for the ultra processed crap!
It is okay to have a pork pie, scotch egg, cornish pastie, sclice of carrot cake or some peanut M&Ms 20% of the time but 80% of the time eat smartly and then you will be too full to reach for the stuff thats going to impede your goals!
