After all, whether you work in the city or not, diet is a very important issue! It is not easy to save money, be regular and have balanced nutrition. However, with some methods and skills, it can still be done. Oh, you don't believe it? Then the following content will let you know what is a food expert and a money saver!
First, let's talk about how to save money. ?
There is no doubt that cooking is the most economical way! However, it is not enough to cook, but it is also important to be careful. Let me tell you a little secret, that is, make an overall plan of ingredients once a week.
For example, I will choose a menu for a week and then purchase the required ingredients at one time. The advantage of this is that you can avoid buying the same ingredients repeatedly, thus reducing waste! Moreover, cooking by yourself is a pleasure, which can give full play to one's creativity and imagination and bring one's satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. In addition, I will choose to buy some vegetables and fruits in the season, which are both affordable and nutritious ~
So, how can we buy cheap and fresh ingredients? Here are a few tips that you can refer to:
Choosing seasonal vegetables and fruits is not only affordable, but also nutritious ~ you can check the monthly seasonal food list online, or download some special apps to remind you. This APP is recommended for hungry. There is a seasonal official activity now. Click on the home page to see it ~ At present, you can recommend various food recipes and preferential activities according to the monthly seasonal food list. You can try to download it if you need it!
Take advantage of preferential activities of supermarkets or e-commerce platforms, such as full reduction, discount, spike, group purchase, etc. You can pay attention to some food bloggers or official WeChat accounts, and they will push you some preferential information in time. I just paid attention to an official WeChat account called Meeting Point City, which is a platform dedicated to sharing food strategies from all over the country and taking you to "eat all over the motherland". We will also regularly promote various food promotions. You can choose the American food you are interested in according to your city, and there are preferential businesses nearby. In this way, you can enjoy food anytime and anywhere, and you can also find some hidden food treasures!
Store some commonly used dry goods or frozen foods, such as rice flour, bean products, eggs, chicken breast, milk, etc. These foods can provide carbohydrates, protein, fat and other nutrients needed by human body, and at the same time, they can also increase satiety and taste!
Go to some wholesale markets or farmers' markets to buy ingredients, where prices are usually much cheaper than supermarkets. However, we should pay attention to choosing fresh ones that can bargain. In addition, in some markets, fresh products of the day will be sold at reduced prices after 7 pm.
Next, let's talk about how to keep a regular diet! ?
Living in a big city, many people will neglect their health because of their busy work. But I have a little trick, which is to fix a certain time of the day to cook.
For example, in the evening, I usually choose a suitable time to cook between 7 and 9. The advantage of this is that you can form a good life rule, and you can also avoid eating indiscriminately because you are hungry, which will affect your health. Of course, if the work is too busy, it is also a good choice to prepare a lunch in advance ~
Finally, how can we achieve a balanced nutrition? Here are some tips that may help you! ?
First, try to ensure that every meal is accompanied by vegetables, meat and staple food! Anyway, basically I cook a dish every meal to ensure the intake of dietary fiber; At the same time, it will be matched with different kinds of meat to ensure protein's intake.
Second, learn to supplement nutrition with snacks. Of course, don't get me wrong, this is not spicy. I mean, you can eat some nuts and fruits in afternoon tea, which can not only satisfy the taste, but also supplement the nutrition your body needs ~
Third, ensure the diversification of diet. Friends who live alone should understand that eating alone is easy to be monotonous, and it is easy to lead to unbalanced nutrition or loss of appetite over time. Here, I suggest you try more different cuisines, flavors and cooking methods. Other fast food or semi-finished products are also very good, which can make delicious dishes more conveniently and quickly ~ such as Regan Noodles, snail powder and hand-grabbed cakes. Although these fast food or semi-finished products can't completely replace fresh ingredients, as long as you pay attention to controlling the amount, with some vegetables and fruits, it doesn't hurt to eat a little occasionally!
To sum up, I feel that some friends still don't understand. Let me summarize it for you and take out your notebook.
You can choose cheap and nutritious food to cook. Such as coarse grains, bean products, eggs, chicken breasts, milk, fruits, etc. These foods can provide carbohydrates, protein, fat and other nutrients needed by human body, and at the same time, they can also increase satiety and taste!
②: Arrange three meals reasonably and eat regularly. Don't go out on an empty stomach for breakfast, have balanced nutrition for lunch and light and little oil for dinner!
③: You can eat some snacks between meals, such as nuts, fruits and milk. , to supplement energy and nutrition, but you should pay attention to control the amount and avoid taking too many calories!
4. Learn to arrange the menu of each meal in advance according to your own work and life rhythm, which can save time and energy, and also avoid indecision in deciding what to eat temporarily!
I know that those of you who work alone in a big city may face a lot of pressure in life, but as long as we live with our hearts, we will certainly find our own happiness! In terms of diet, we can take good care of our bodies in a cost-saving, regular and balanced way, so that we can stay healthy and energetic in our busy work! But money is not the only thing. Your health is the most important thing. It's good to relax once in a while and eat a few good meals ~
