Eat healthy for Cheap

Yes, I said eat healthy for cheap.  Many food manufactures charge a premium for their “Healthy” foods.  The same goes for a restaurant.  He is a really good alternative.  GO to your favorite sub shop and get the veggie sub.  If you think about it, it is like a salad with bread sticks.  Tonight I had a foot long sub with all the veggies (except pickles) and topped off with Buffalo sauce.  Spicy, healthy, and cheap.  I added a bottle of water to with it and it cost me $5.62.  Not bad for dinner for a road warrior.


One thing to watch out for is the dressing.  Stick to something that is not creamy.  The Mayo adds around 110 calories per 6 inches of sandwich.  Chipotle dressing, 100 calories per 6 inches of sandwich. Here are a few good choices: Sweet Onion (30 Cal.), Honey Mustard (30 Cal.)


Also, do not forget the salad bar at a grocery store.  Choose wisely and you can eat well, healthy, and for around $5.

As for all of you on a ship with a salad bar, hit it hard. Again, watch out for the creamy dressings and oils.
