Let’s actually do the math. Quick disclaimer: Healthy eating isn’t always cheaper. Prices vary by store, location, brands and food choices. But a simple, planned, high-protein diet can be much cheaper than regularly eating out or buying convenience foods. A SIMPLE 5-DAY WORK WEEK BREAKFAST Greek yogurt + scoop of protein + ¼ serving granola ≈ $2.00–$2.50 LUNCH Greek yogurt + fruit ≈ $1.25–$1.75 SNACK Apple + cheese stick ≈ $1.00–$1.25 DINNER Protein + carb + vegetables ≈ $4.00–$6.00 DAILY TOTAL: ≈ $8–$12 5-DAY TOTAL: ≈ $40–$60 NOW COMPARE THAT TO EATING OUT Breakfast: $7–$10 Lunch:$10–$15 Snack/drink:$3–$5 Dinner at home:$4–$6 DAILY TOTAL: ≈ $24–$36 5-DAY TOTAL: ≈ $120–$180 THAT COULD BE $60–$140 MORE PER WEEK! And remember—you’re probably still buying groceries for the house. Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean organic steaks, expensive supplements and a $200 grocery haul. Keep it simple: Greek yogurt, protein powder, fruit, eggs, chicken, rice, potatoes and vegetables. THE TAKEAWAY Healthy eating isn’t automatically cheap. But eating without a plan can get expensive FAST. Plan your meals. Buy simple foods. Eat at home. SAVE MONEY. EAT BETTER. GET RESULTS. SHOW UP • DO THE WORK • LEAD WELL
