Hi, I'm Charlotte Lawson, a registered, licensed¹ dietitian² here in Tampa Bay, Florida.

大家好，我是夏洛特劳森。我是一位经过注册资格认证的专业营养师，现位于佛罗里达州的坦帕湾。

In these days, everybody is trying to save a little money. And when we are on a budget, how do we continue to eat healthy? Well, it can be as simple as just planning a list ahead of time and checking out your grocery ads. Know what you are going into, into the store, is an excellent way to avoid excess purchases.

近日来，大家都在省钱。我们在限制消费的时候，如何保证自己吃得健康呢？这十分简单，例如，你可以在买东西之前列清单，或是了解促销信息。了解你要去买东西的地方，例如超市，是一种很好的避免购买多余物品的方式。

So, when you have that plan, try to stick to it. And don't be afraid to purchase frozen or canned fruits and vegetables. As long as there isn't any additives³, such as salts or sugar, these are very excellent ways to have these nutritious⁴ foods on hand, that won't spoil often. Sometimes, when we buy fresh produce, we'll let it sit on our counter, and actually the nutrition value starts to diminish. So, these frozen and canned products that are often, sometimes, be cheaper, are still an excellent way to have a nutritious part of a meal.

一旦你有了购物计划，就要严格执行。不要害怕购买冷冻的或是罐头果蔬。只要没有一些诸如盐，糖的添加剂。这些营养食物不仅方便食用，通常也不容易变质。当我们买一些新鲜的产品时，我们会摆在厨房的案台上。实际上，食物中的营养价值会流失。因此，这些常常或有时比较便宜的冷冻和罐头食品是一种在一餐中保证营养的好方法。

Also, don't be afraid to buy meat alternatives. Meat can be a very expensive part of our meal, but looking at low-fat dairy or beans, or other legumes that have excellent sources of protein, may be a cheaper option for your meal. So plan, look for alternatives, and don't be afraid to go outside the box when buying fresh or frozen. So, just make sure you are checking your nutrition labels to help guide you in those healthy choices.

还有，不要害怕去买一些肉食替代品。肉食一点都不便宜。但是低脂奶制品，豌豆或其他豆类食物都含有非常丰富的蛋白质，而且比较便宜。所以，要准备买一些肉食替代品。还有，在选择新鲜食材还是冷冻食材的时候，不要害怕打破常规，要留意食物上的营养标签，在选择健康食物方面，这些标签可以给你一些“指导”。

I'm Charlotte, and happy eating.

我是夏洛特，祝您吃得开心。
