Having a well-nourished body means that you can keep the weight that's right for you. It also means you'll be better able to stay healthy. Choosing nutritious foods doesn't have to be confusing or expensive. While fresh foods are always good, you can save money by using canned, dried, and boxed foods. You might want to join a food co-op, or get some friends together to save money by buying in bulk.
Protein is needed to build muscle.
Good protein foods are chicken, hamburger, eggs, and canned tuna. Peanut butter and cooked dried beans, peas, and lentils are also very good protein foods, and cost less than meat. Eat fruit at least three times every day. Fruit adds vitamins to your diet. Fruit juice is good too.
