Replace meat with other proteins

Eating protein doesn't have to mean eating meat and there is much evidence that replacing animal proteins with more plant-based proteins will improve your health. Mostly vegetarian foods are heart-healthy and rich in protein.

Saving money by eating less meat may be a smart idea. You can easily obtain enough protein on a vegan diet because there are so many plant foods that are high in protein. Additionally, scientists agree that a well-planned plant-based diet offers all the nutrients, including protein, that you require. Try substituting different protein sources, including beans, hemp seeds, eggs, or canned salmon, on a couple of days per week. All of these are reasonably priced, nutritious, and simple to prepare. Most of them also have a long shelf life, making it less likely that they would perish rapidly.
