Eating Healthy Is Expensive Is An Excuse

Everyone thinks eating healthis super expensive, when it’s really not.

If you ever find yourself asking why the burger and fries from *insert fast food place here* is $1.99 and the salad from the same place is $7… there’s 2 reasons:

1. The burger and fries are of the CHEAPEST quality they can be and still be considered food.

2. The salad is actual food and real ingredients. And they mark it up because they pay more for REAL FOOD.

To counteract that, stop making your nutrition choices in a fast food place!

Go out and go food shopping for yourself.

A bag of salad is $3 (split into 2)

Healthy dressing $3 (split into about 6)

Family pack of protein $1.99-$2.49lb (split into 4 / lb)

So, per meal, you can have an actually healthy salad for $2.50 (make it $3 for added veggies)

Multiple that by 5, and you have 5 lunches for maximum $12 total.

Now, I know people that spend that, easily, on lunch everyday! And it’s doing their body no good. Ordering out, drive through, fast food, is either cheaper quality food or overpriced because that store has to make a profit.

You can do the same math for Breakfast and Dinner.

Eating healthy is expensive? But, you just spent $6 on a coffee that 800 calories. When you could of brought a dozen eggs, potatoes, spinach for $9, and that would last a week….

When you cook for yourself, eating healthy is not expensive.

And even if you do go out and buy healthier options while you’re out, and spend $10. Don’t say it’s expensive. Flip the mindset around and say it’s an investment in your body.

We say eating healthy is expensive because it’s an easy excuse to use to go eat fast food. Taking the easy option.

Eating healthy is as expensive as you want to make it. Saving money requires a little more effort. But, is it not worth it?

Is being healthy not worth the exter dollar or the extra hour meal prepping your lunch.

Stop making excuses for why you eat the way you do and take responsibility for your actions.

Your life. Your choices.


When I’m talking about health and fitness, I’m not speaking about trendy diets, get fit quick plans, or the bs you see on social media. (Unless it’s to say, don’t do those things!)

Listen to episode 28 of the #1LIFE1YOUPodcast

I am talking about being fit and healthy for life. A lot of us have 1, 2, 3 more lives to live. Those years are what I’m speaking on.


The Pants That Fit

2 minute read

I got a message a couple days ago. And i ask the things I always ask, “How was the week? Good? Bad? Great?”

And, she says that she’s having a good week. Workouts going well. Food is getting better. And she goes on to tell me that she had a NON SCALE VICTORY that she didn’t plan on having so soon.

The goal, that she was hoping to accomplish in October, was to fit into these pants that she had that didn’t fit.

She said, talking to a friend about vacation coming up, and she wanted to go try on these pants…


Now, I think that’s awesome. But, it is a risk she took. It could have gone a couple ways.

1. They fit! The hard work she’s been doing is being seen.

2. They don’t fit…

A) Gets discouraged by the effort of the last 2 months

B) Motivates her to go harder

But, they fit! And that’s a really big win. The confidence it builds. The reassurance of the process. The knowing that the hard work is paying off.

You may not always see it. The scale may tell you something different on different days. But, how you feel. How does your clothes fit you. They are big markers on your progress.
