That was a good article by Mens Health. Shopping, cooking and eating in this way is good for any goal you want to achieve - lose weight, tone or build muscle. Personally, I like cooking up chillis. Full goodness, cheap and you can make about 10 serves in 1 batch.

OMG, I didn’t think it was possible to do it that cheaply! Hmmmm. I spend probably $100 a week or more (probably more) on chicken, eggs and cauliflower alone
