Start with the essentials
Plan meals around foods your household enjoys and can store safely. Include variety instead of relying on one food or a supplement. Protein needs differ with age, health and activity, so a general menu cannot prescribe the right amount for everyone.
What you can do
- Compare local prices for pulses, beans, dairy or other suitable protein foods.
- Add seasonal vegetables and fruit within the available budget.
- Prepare and store cooked food safely, especially in hot weather.
Keep in mind
People with kidney disease, food allergies or other dietary needs should seek individual advice before making major changes.
