Welcome to cheap eat nutrition! Plan is to bring you plenty of affordable recipes and tips for food and diet.
So, it’s probably fair to say that there are many out there who want to have a healthy diet and eat clean. But, damn it’s hard!! Buying organic this, free from that, and this will heal your life in a pot, for dinner is an expensive and not always enjoyable experience!
I believe firmly nutrition is something that is not just for the privileged few, but should be affordable for everyone. There are however a few principles points to the recipes. They will be low carbohydrate, high (healthy) fat and free from wheats and grains. This is NOT just about weight loss but more importantly (yep, I said that), about improving your full overall functionality including mood, energy and looking good on the outside and in.
Cheap eat nutrition Instagram page has a ton of pictures to inspire. On these blog posts though we plan to give the recipe breakdowns, best tips to saving money and the science behind why Im ingesting what it is I’m ingesting!
Hope you lot enjoy..
