How To Eat Healthy on a $100 Budget

[@stina98XD]

I would love to see a video where actually turn these groceries into meals and to see how many meals you actually get out of them. I really like your videos, they are inspiring to me. Thank you

[@joannecoates5917]

Yes and meal prep! I totally get lost at this point

[@amieelarrybrown6064]

[@rockybolick9646]

As a trained chef I have to say that there is nothing wrong with frozen veggies. They actually have more nutritional value due to the shock frosting process. The veggies are harvested and then immediately shock frosted. Meanwhile the fresh veggies go under the process of having to be transported to the grocery stores leaving them exposed to air, sun and, the most important factor, time. This makes the fresh veggies lose a lot of important nutrients.

[@Dark666Butterfly]

Thank you ! I heard other trainers and nutritionnists say that frozen veggies are actually much healthier that we may think :)

[@harleydavidson3182]

I've been wondering about this I've switched between frozen and "fresh" for some time I'd like to get the most nutrition out of the veggies I choose, I have trouble with the frozen veggies being quite mushy after the cooking process, is there a way to get them to not be so mushy? Would it be defrosting them first?

[@Crescentedgirl]

@@harleydavidson3182 yes, wait till they are defrosted because if you cook them while frozen, you are melting the ice at the same time, thus leading to that mushiness

[@rockybolick9646]

@@harleydavidson3182 The best way to prepare frozen veggies is to steam them. You can do that by using a specific pot which you can easily get online pretty cheap.

[@ragetist]

​@@harleydavidson3182 Also helps to cook them in small patches so the melting liquid evaporates faster

[@jenn-un1lq]

i mean he definitely tried. but that being said, I set a $100 limit per week for groceries and I've picked up a few tips that might help people: buy sides that you know you can pair with multiple mains (ex. wild rice pairs well with shrimp, steak, chicken, veggie stirfry, etc.), buy mains in bulk and freeze half for the following week (ex. 6 pack of chicken thighs for 2 people, so you'd freeze say 2-3 of them for the following week, and use 3-4 of them for 2 meals, maybe diced in a chicken stirfry or shredded in a chicken soup), buy grains in bulk (ex. oats, rice, barley, lentils, etc.), don't drink your calories, only purchase the amount of fruit and vegetables you know you can get through in a week OR freeze before they spoil, save your scraps for chicken stock and use that stock to season things like pasta sauces. basically... buy what you need in small quantities, buy in bulk when it's smart to do so, freeze what you can, stick to portions, and remember that things can be used in a variety of ways. for instance, i got mushrooms recently to add to stew, but i saved a good bit of them to add to some ramen too.

[@jenn-un1lq]

@@mikem4481 $400 for two people and a dog per month? In America? That’s cheap. Especially considering how much I actually get for that money. But everyone’s needs and budgets are different, so my cost has NOTHING to do with you or anyone else-it’s just there for comparison in case it helps people.

[@bec85088]

This is really heartwarming to see, being able to level with most viewers and understanding a lot of us live on a budget! I love it! Thank you.

[@Zedris]

Can we get a follow up video on the meals that you make with these groceries?

[@Mark.R.]

Magnus: "Hope you guys liked this video..." I loved it! For less than what a lot of people will spend eating out a few times each week, one can eat healthy for a week. Very encouraging. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@misskitty2187]

Hi Magnus Great video as always .If you like yam here is a quick recipe from Greece. Wash them but keep the skin on and cut them in wedges Sprinkle some pepper cumin and olive oil to bake Add salt after you take them out of the oven

I learned a lot from magnus and thanks to u i knew him , have a good day both

[@ShortyMicMidge]

Hey Magnus, Ever since I discovered your channel, I've been devouring your videos. I know you brought up the ethical and moral reasons that you make for usually buying expensive tuna. I love it. We need more conservation and mindful purchasing in our culture. That being said, you should look into getting some reusable produce bags for all your loose vegetables and fruits. You can usually find them pretty cheap, made out of either compostable or recyclable materials. It can go a long way to lessening the harm of manufacturing and using plastics on the environment. Keep up the awesome videos. Would love to see you do some videos for vegetarian diets! Take care, man.

[@dragonscurse2008]

Love this Magnus, trying to do better as best i can, winging my self off junk, mixing healthy and junk but i am buying more healthy as i go. The omelet you make is amazing and try to do that every morning, working nights it appears to be harder to eat right but no excuses. I would love to see the recipes for the meals from this video, i appreciate what you do, maybe one day i can meet you and train, thank you

[@OblongPolkaDots]

I like this video specifically because of your sensitivity to the fact that many of us have a lower budget (I have a family of 5) and we still want to eat healthily. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@OCDTraci]

Love this. You need to do this yearly to keep up w/the rate of inflation, stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive

[@liubovdias7647]

Love this! It’s great for a lot of people to see that eating healthier is much cheaper than eating junk!

[@Elkhorse]

So $3.42 per meal sounds good. I also throw in sardines and canned salmon from Walmart. Right now I'm down to 202 from 229. I've always been a big eater but still can't consume the amount of protein recommended. Great vid!

[@maxkarnaukh3298]

great video... but, 24 meals of protein - good however, a pack of brown rice, 2 sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, and some vegetables won't cover 25 meals of protein? Am I missing something? pack of rice - 4 meals 2 sweet potatoes - 2 meals vegetable broth - 6 meals (let's overestimate) vegetables - 4 meals 16 meals for side dishes < 24 meals of protein.

[@bastianian2939]

How will a pack of rice give only 4 meals. 200 - 300 kcal of rice is a good portion my guy

[@maxkarnaukh3298]

@@bastianian2939 400g of rice in a pack = 100 g per meal?

[@kolayogren6552]

@@maxkarnaukh3298 actually 100 gr of uncooked rice is 360 calories which is 3 meals for a low carb diet at most. So a 400 gr pack makes 12 meals indeed. 3 wasa makes 100 calories per meal. In a pack 25 of them makes 8 meals. 2 sweet potatoes could be 2 meals. It makes carb side dishes in meals for 22. It actually makes about about 12 days of main dishes and 6 days of breakfast. I think an overall bugdet is about 300 dollars. Yes, I am an engineer😆🤣🤣

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

What's missing: fruit, healthy fats (nuts, avocado, seeds), something to make dressing/sauces, more veggies/leafy greens

[@mrplayboy]

This was awesome! So helpful thank you

[@pattyrobles7324]

Awesome video. I’m confused of what to shop for. Thank You so much 🙏❤️

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

I think it would be more realistic/useful to show a week or month's worth of food including all meals and snacks. In this video you have protein for 24 meals but the veggies and snacks will only last for 3 days

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

@@jga5678 but a meal can also be a snack. He doesn't suggest to have 5 full meals. It's 3 meals and two snacks so it still doesn't add up

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

@@jga5678 so 100 dollars for five days without much veggies, fruits, healthy fats and something sweet. Not even including coffee, tea, spices etc. That's not exactly cheap

[@Treadstone1986]

@@AndNowIJustSitInSilence It’s not for five days. He says in the video that they are lunches and dinners. He doesn’t count breakfast or snack (eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.) so it is closer to two weeks.

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

@@Treadstone1986 like I said it's just protein. The veggies will only last a few days so they are not complete meals for two weeks. Protein is not a meal

There's really nothing you can do about stretch marks besides putting on some coconut cream on it. Stretch marks are a sign of hard work if you're lifting weights. Nothing to be ashamed about.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I am a new subscriber so sorry if there's already a video, but I would be interested to see your real grocery shop, what you would buy normally, not trying to be under a budget specific amount. I am also curious about the lack of fruit (except lemons) in your shopping. Was that to keep it in budget? Or, do you not like fruit, possibly because it has a lot of sugar? I love fruit and can have a stocked pantry but if I am out of fruit I feel like there's nothing to eat, lol. But, I freely admit I am not a healthy eater and am here for inspiration. 😀

Great video thank you! Its great to have a video on a few staples for the weekly grocery shop. Can I ask, is there a reason you buy the broth in a liquid form, is it heather? ?

I find its filling and I like to marinade/bake it to have it with salads through the week.
