Food Choices: Calories/Protein
Thanks! I've thought of doing this for a very long time. Maybe you've given me a push to do it for my favorite foods.
I wanted to add a category for cost per gram of protein and calorie. High quality dense protein, with a few exceptions, like chicken, are more expensive. High carb, high calorie choices are usually dirt cheap.
Thanks Liz.

This is BRILLIANT Liz! I love it. Smart lady.
But what about steak? There is no steak on your spreadsheet! LOL
You have also inspired me to create something like this as I tend to eat the same things over and over as well.

LOL! I haven't updated it for a while (and didn't put everything on - just my most common items to give me insight as to smarter choices).

Hi Liz!
Wonderful chart! I printed it, and then taped it to the inside of my busiest cabinet door. Even after just a few days, it's plain that I reference it quite a bit - definitely more than I thought I would...a pleasant surprise!
(Lol...and it's not like I have so many healthy habits that I can't always use one more, eh?!) :)
Thx, Liz!
Good show, Liz. Thank you!
