Eat a Highly Nutritious Diet for Under 30 Euro. Yep, you can and I'll show you how. 

Following on from the previous article where I debunked the poorly conceived diet outlined in a major Irish newspaper I wanted to show you how to eat a highly nutritious diet for under €30, and I did it by shopping in one of the most expensive supermarkets in Dublin. Unlike the article I didn't go to cheap (but really great quality outlets like Lidl or Aldi), so it's likely you can do this for even less.

So here's my How to eat a highly nutritious diet for under €30 secret, I eat the same basic meals over and over and over again. I still get a lot of variety in my nutrition by varying the herbs and spices I cook with. 

Eat a Highly Nutritious Diet for Under 30 Euro - The Breakfast

Eat a Highly Nutritious Diet for Under €30 Euro

Breakfast - 3 egg omelette with ham and tomato, with a tomato and sweetcorn salsa. This provides excellent high quality protein and fat's with vitamin and nutrient dense vegetables. In this one meal, I get nearly 2 solid servings of protein and 3 servings of vegetables. And it's DELICIOUS! It's a variation on a Mexican dish my wife Orla Coffey adjusted for me.

Eat a Highly Nutritious Diet for Under 30 Euro - The Dinner

Eat a Highly Nutritious Diet for Under €30 Euro Beef Nutrition

I alternate between a couple of basic dishes but it's essentially a beef/steak or chicken stirfry. With beef I often go with a teriyaki style flavouring, chicken is often fruity with Chinese 5 Spice though these are changed as I feel like it, using spices like Tumeric, Cumin, paprika, curry etc.

I'll often do a very large batch all at once. It takes 5 minutes and on avg I'll get 6-8 servings made.

For snacks and sweet treats I'll have fruit, like apples, pears, melon, berries, or oranges and sweet potato crisps or my stir fry cinnamon apple pie. Once a month I'll make up a batch of my protein cookies or muffins. :-)

It's very simple, remarkably filling, very tasty, super nutritious and very cheap - here's my shopping bill -
