The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Tuesday unveiled Healthy Eating on a Budget — the newest addition to ChooseMyPlate.gov.
Consumers continue to want more information about how to make better eating decisions with limited resources, according to a USDA press release. To meet this need, the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) developed the new resource to include easy-to-use and insightful information about planning meals, shopping smart in the grocery store, and preparing foods that save money and time in the kitchen.
There are several recipes that feature chicken as a healthy and low-cost protein on the site. The National Chicken Council is a MyPlate community partner.
Consumers who visit the Healthy Eating on a Budget section of ChooseMyPlate.gov will learn ways to plan, purchase, and prepare healthy meals. The new web pages provide families with tips and strategies to help save money and plan a healthier diet. For more information, visit http://www.choosemyplate.gov/budget/.
