RECOMMENDATIONSCHOICES FOR A RESTRICTED BUDGET
  • Use sparingly as these foods are high in energy but provide few nutrients.
  • Foods from this category should not replace food from any other group.
  • Inclusion of these foods should be determined by individual energy needs.
  • First choose foods from the other groups before making choices from these group as these provide very few nutrients apart from energy and fat-soluble vitamins.
  • These foods (except alcoholic beverages) can be used to add energy to a meal.
  • Hard margarine in bricks is cheaper than soft margarine in tubs, however they should be used very sparingly.
  • Limit the use of oil by not frying food.
  • Mayonnaise and salad dressings are expensive and should be used occasionally. These can be substituted with cheaper alternatives or homemade dressings. Examples are vinegar or vinaigrette etc.
