RECOMMENDATIONSCHOICES FOR A RESTRICTED BUDGET
  • Give preference to fish, poultry (without skin), and legumes (dry beans, lentils, soya and soya products, split peas), as these are the choices lowest in fat.
  • Try to eat fatty fish (tuna, salmon or snoekl) two times a week as these are rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which is protective against heart disease.
  • Choose lean meats, look for unmarbled cuts i.e. meat cuts not speckled with fat.
  • Decrease fat during meat preparation:
    • Trim all the fat you can see.
    • Remove skin from poultry.
    • Broil, roast, grill, stew, braise or boil these foods instead of frying them.
    • Use a non-stick pan or a vegetable spray to fry and to avoid adding oil.
    • If you do fry, use vegetable or olive oil instead of saturated fats such as lard or shortening. Stir-fry the food rather than deep-fry.
    • Place meat on a rack when cooking so that fat can drip off.
  • Nuts, seeds, and peanut butter are high in fat, so eat them in moderation.
  • Preferably choose fish, which is water-packed; oil-packed, only adds fat.

MEATS

  • Compare meat prices at the butcher and the supermarkets.
  • Choose meat that has less bones and fat. Soup bones are therefore a bad buy. It is better to buy a packet of dried beans.
  • Buy less tinned meat, polony and other cold meats and sausage, as processed meat is usually expensive, and often contain fillings like fat, gravy, vegetables and/or cereals in large quantities.

CHICKEN

  • Buying a bigger chicken usually yields more meat and less bone proportionally than a smaller chicken.
  • Compare the price per kilogram for whole chicken and chicken portions as there is more bone in whole chicken.
  • Chicken liver is one of the cheapest and most nutritious forms of meat.

FISH

  • Tinned fish like pilchards is the cheapest form of fish. Other forms of canned fish are expensive.
  • Fresh fish is usually more expensive than frozen, except at the coast.
  • Whole fish is usually cheaper than fish without bones. The head and fins can be used for fish soup. However compare the price per portion and not per kilogram.

LEGUMES

  • Dried legumes are not only good substitutes for meat, fish, eggs or cheese, but can be used to make foods go further (meat extenders).
  • It is not necessary to eat meat everyday. Meat alternatives, which are cheaper can be used as substitutes or used to bulk up meals.
  1. o Add cooked dried beans to stewed meat.
  2. o Mix mashed, cooked dried beans with mince or fish to make meat loaf or fish cakes or meatballs.
  3. o Soya beans have been processed to form textured soya proteins that resemble meat in taste and look, and can therefore be used as meat substitutes.
  4. o Textured soya protein products can be used to stretch mince in bobotie, fricadels and other meat or chicken dishes.
  • One kilogram of dried beans yields 33 portions, while 1 kilogram meat yields 9 portions (1 cup dried beans, raw yields ± 8 cups cooked).

PEANUT BUTTER

  • Peanut Butter can be used as a sandwich filling and can be stirred into porridge. ?
