    Back in the mid ‘80’s, in nursing school, we had to come up with a meal plan for a family of four for a week with just $20. From what I remember, they were eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pasta. There were more healthy foods but those stuck in my memory. It really takes a lot of thought. You did a great job with this, Derek.

    • @Simnettnutrition
      @Simnettnutrition  5 месяцев назад +24

      It does take a lot of thought and planning. That is an interesting lesson you had in school. A 4 day meal prep with $20 CAD would be hard and lack variety for sure. Thanks for the comment!

      When I was in high school in the sixties one home economics assignment was three meals a day for a family of four. We could spend no more than $1.00 per person per day. It was a challenge but doable.

    Thank you for all you do, totally enjoy your video. 70 yr. old, no meat, fish or cheese going on 3 yrs. Because of you I eat tofu using your different marinades, cook my own chickpeas, beans, plant based pastas, made my own tomato sauces. I would love to actually buy a book form of your recipes, not crazy over e-books, love leaving through the pages. Again, a big thank you, your a great inspiration even for a 70 yr. old.

    If you're gonna add water to your tofu and chickpea mixture, you might as well omit the straining of the chickpeas. The liquid is packed with additional protein. It's called aquafaba, it is usually talked about when baking, but it works great in food too. When cooking something that needs water or any liquid that will get reduced anyway, I'll always add the chickpea liquid.

Thanks for the food inspiration Derek.

  • @laureenjohnson5570
    @laureenjohnson5570 5 месяцев назад +5

    I meal prep every week....3 weeks on Sunday = no cooking for the rest of the week! Definitely worth it. The amount of sodium in your prep is far less than if one were eating take out, salty snacks, etc. I am gratefully able to afford to add greens, nuts, seeds to add to the nutritional value, but again, these meals are far more nutritionally dense than the standard north american diet. Well done!!

  • @RiDankulous
