According to many articles the Mediterranean diet is supposed to be one of the healthiest in the world. With that in mind, I decided that use it as a basis for my menu planning.\u00a0 Below is the basic menu plan for a month based of\u00a0 Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: 450 Best Mediterranean Diet Recipes<\/a>\"Menu\"<\/p>\n

I have been assigned to work with a couple of pregnant young ladies.\u00a0 From what I understand, they will stay in one shelter until their babies are 7 months, then move to another until they can get on their feet.<\/p>\n

The above menu will need to adapted for accessibility, financial ability, and life factors.\u00a0 Being pregnant means their bodies will need certain nutrients to help support the baby and after depending on whether they chose to breastfeed or not will require other nutrients.<\/p>\n

I decided to approach this as if they have finite funds.\u00a0 Thus, no government assistance.\u00a0 This may change once I meet them, but I need to currently plan for the most difficult.\u00a0 In order to make it more realistic, I went by a local store near the inner city so that I could begin meal planning. The manager said who do not have government assistance live off of 50-100 dollars.\u00a0 I cannot imagine living off of so little to eat.<\/p>\n

Certain food items would be out of the question.\u00a0 Most probably the best way to approach this would be to purchase staples and add to your pantry as you can.\u00a0 Also, it might be easier if you have a bit of space to plant a pot or two of vegetable favorites.\u00a0 In order to lower the sodium content to make it more healthy, can goods should have the water poured off and rinsed.\u00a0 How can I be of the most help?\u00a0 Does anyone have an idea on factors that I need to consider or healthy recipes that are quick and easy to make which can be shared?\u00a0 It would need to be economical.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n

Looking forward to learning and sharing with them.<\/p>\n
