eating healthy on a low budget

Being too austere in your diet can be a problem, especially if you're diet is unbalanced.

Get on a healthy diet. That's it. What is healthy for a pregnant person is the same diet as a non pregnant person would eat if they want to have a healthy life. Just during pregnancy no raw food deli n a few other things. Limit fish also. But other than that low fat n minimal junk food. Stick with chicken n salads. Fruits n white rice etc.

Hello! Can anyone tell me any foods or snacks that would be a good buy on a limited budget? I'm worried I'm not getting enough food in my new diet. My college cafeteria does its best for vegetarians, but it's really a bit terrible all round. I have to stick to salads and veggie burgers (unless they run out). I'm also exercising a lot now so I'm worried I may not be retaining enough calories let alone nutrients.

taking just a couple of bites of a healthy food is better than not eating at all. I find eating a larger breakfast does best for me - but that's not true for everyone.

I don't know what time you get up, go to bed or what your schedule during the day is.

Carbs were all i could do to not feel sick, i did well with a few smoothies on days when i felt a bit better. You can make sure you are eating whole/multi grains that is a little healthier. Also try fruits that are easier on the stomach like bananas or unsweeted apple sauce. Roasted carrots or sweet potatoes are good too.
