Up front, the cost is higher, but over time, I'm sure the benefit of eating healthier is much more cost effective (in terms of $, and health)
I drink no soda, energy drinks, vitamin water, sports drinks, etc...Just filtered water which is free (more or less), 100% real orange juice (about 9 for a week's worth) and the occasional beer at home.
I eat 6 times a day, but with portion control, 1 "mea;" can be split into 2. Since I am a pescatarian (vegetarian that eats fish occasionally), my diet is mixed with fresh fruits and vegetables, soups, wraps, whole grain pastas, sushi every now and then, burritos/tacos and brown rices, whey protein and a men's daily multivitamin.
All in all, I feel fairly healthy and I allow myself one day to splurge per week. I'm far from the healthiest, but I feel better than I did 2 years ago!
