Healthy eating often looks so much more expensive.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vmb-3 wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"index-list\"><p class=\"h4 index-list__title\"> Table of contents<\/p><ul><\/ul><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]That may be true, but it doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to be. Whether or not healthy eating becomes more expensive for you depends on how you&#8217;ve been eating.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re already cooking every meal yourself, planning your groceries well, and not throwing food away, you&#8217;re already eating very cost-effectively. But if you are currently still using one or the other ready-made product (mixes for salad dressings or casseroles, ready-made meals, pasta sauces&#8230;) then there is definitely still room for maneuver. If you grab quick bites here and there at the bakery, buy a blended coffee drink to go several times a day, or grab your dinner quickly from the Indian, sushi master, or pizza maker, you can end up getting away cheaper with home-cooked, healthy food. These things are quickly forgotten when you see the prices of organic vegetables and high-quality meat in the supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s especially helpful to take a look at how much you actually spend on food and eating out. There are now numerous apps or computer programs for this purpose &#8211; some of them free of charge. At the end, you&#8217;ll find some suggestions for budget books and finance apps. Track all your food expenses for 30 days. You&#8217;ll find some set screws that cost a lot of money, but aren&#8217;t really that important.<\/p>\n<p>I remember my time as a student. Back then, I earned wry looks when I prepared a steak in the dorm kitchen. At the same time, roommates told me that they spent \u20ac50 on drinks again at the last disco night. Everyone has different priorities and that&#8217;s perfectly fine. But if healthy eating is very important to you, you may find ways to save some money in other places.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\"><div class=\"vc_container vc_maxwidth \"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row-o-content-bottom vc_row-flex bg--color--bg-secondary bg--image--pos-br bg--image--size--contain\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-7 vc_col-lg-7\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vpt-3 vpb-3\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vmb-1 wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"heading heading--p \"><p class=\"heading h3  heading--center\" >Du m\u00f6chtest dich auch <span class=\"deco-underline\">ges\u00fcnder ern\u00e4hren<\/span>?<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"btn__wrapper \"><a href=\"https:\/\/foodpunk.com\/de\/ernaehrungsplaene\/clean-eating\/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=banner\" target=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"btn--full btn--primary btn--md \"><span>Jetzt durchstarten!<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"d-none d-md-flex wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4 vc_col-lg-5\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left vmb-3 wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"865\" src=\"https:\/\/foodpunk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-manu2.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"\" title=\"hero-manu2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodpunk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-manu2.png 900w, https:\/\/foodpunk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-manu2-300x288.png 300w, https:\/\/foodpunk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hero-manu2-768x738.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"vmt-3 vmb-3 wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"heading heading--h2 \"><h2 class=\"heading   \" >1. prices in the restaurant<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Why are healthy meals in a restaurant more expensive than a plate of pasta or fried potatoes?<\/p>\n<p>Everything that quickly fills the plate, such as pasta, bread, potatoes, chips&#8230; is simply much cheaper to produce. A salad with shrimp can&#8217;t compete with that.<\/p>\n<p>An example: 200 g of high-quality shrimp can cost up to \u20ac10 in the supermarket. There will not be 200 g in a dish, but there is the cook, the waitress, the dishes, the washing up, electricity, the rent of the restaurant and co. added. Everything has to come in somehow with food &amp; drinks at the end of the month. If you want to manage this and pay your own salary on the side, the rough assumption in the restaurant business is that the purchase price of ingredients must not exceed 30%.<\/p>\n<p>The ingredients for a \u20ac13 dish may therefore only be \u20ac3.90 so that the restaurant operation can be financed from this. The ingredients for an 8 \u20ac dish may be at 2.40 \u20ac in the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vmb-3 wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"heading heading--h2 \"><h2 class=\"heading   \" >2. cook yourself - save money<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can indulge in a restaurant as often as you like. But if saving money is very important to you, then you should mainly cook your own food. For the price of a meal at a restaurant or from a delivery service, you can cook healthy meals several times.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are also differences in home cooking.<\/p>\n<p>If I live privately on pasta with tomato sauce, I can probably get by on \u20ac3 a day. When I cook higher quality it becomes more. Not because anyone wants to harm me, but because higher quality food comes at a price.<\/p>\n<p>And by that I mean vegetables, high quality fish \/ meat, organic eggs, good oils&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>For this, however, you can safely leave out everything &#8220;nonsensical&#8221;. Like a green smoothie for \u20ac5.90, or kale chips for \u20ac3.90 per 30 g. Here, manufacturers are deliberately pushing the limits that health-conscious people are willing to pay.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we don&#8217;t have to take the piss. But we should question how prices are created and whether they are justified. Then we should be prepared to put money back into our hands for really good food. Because a good meal is worth so much more to our lives than a smartphone for 700 \u20ac or the new plasma LCD screen.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vmb-3 wpb_content_element\" ><div class=\"heading heading--h2 \"><h2 class=\"heading   \" >3. tips for everyday life<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>For those who would like to eat healthier but are reluctant to pay more, here are a few tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Track your spending!

Also, small snacks and desserts from the organic market are quite nice, but not indispensable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy vegetables and fruits that are in season. You might also find a farmer near you that offers high-quality vegetables, organic eggs or meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Treat yourself to low carb or Paleo baked goods specifically. Almond flour, birch sugar and co. are quite expensive ingredients. Go for whole foods in everyday life and treat yourself to cakes, muffins and other treats at special moments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Save money elsewhere: Use your current smartphone a few months longer before buying the new variant. Or take your coffee in a reusable <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bdgBvX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">thermal mug <\/a>from home instead of to go from a coffee shop. Get creative and look for places you can cut back without hurting yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\"><div class=\"vc_container vc_maxwidth \"><div
