Get creative about adding nutrition. Cooking eggs? Add greens like kale or spinach. Eating toast? get some extra protein by adding almond butter. Stay away from foods that offer little protein but are high in saturated fats, and avoid processed foods as much as you can.
Chia pudding is a great cereal alternative. Soak chia seeds in water with a little almond milk over night then add berries and honey for a healthy sweet breakfast. The best way to eat food is to accept it as Mother Nature offers it…natural and whole.

Anne Hathaway was always stunning, but may be in the best shape of her life thanks to her small role in The Dark Knight Rises as, you know, CATWOMAN! Ha!

The lovely actress appeared on Chelsea Lately to promote her newest film One Day, but ended up talking about what really matters — CATWOMAN!

Since she's already a vegetarian, we'd imagine she would have no problem keeping her fine figure, but apparently our imagination is a little off! "Right now I'm living on kale and dust," she joked with Chelsea Handler.

If you thought that costume was unbelievably tight, you're absolutely right! When asked how she gets into the "unforgiving" costume, Anne shared that it takes THREE people.

Check out the interview above for yourself to hear more details on Anne Hathaway's Catwoman role, as well as her newfound love for fitness!

Kale:

The vitamins, minerals, and health-enhancing antioxidants like fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids found in Kale help get rid of harmful compounds though to cause serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease. At 60 cents a cup, you can afford to be cautious!

Sweet Potatoes:

At 43 cents a serving and high concentration of beta carotene, sweet potatoes are an incredibly cheap beauty product! Beta carotene has not only shown to help every cell in the body stay healthy, but also neutralizes wrinkle and reduces skin damaged from the sun by helping to generate new skin cells. The potato is also packed with fiber and energizing B-vitamins.

Dried Cranberries:

Dried cranberries rank among the highest antioxidant contents of any fruit, which means they may help reduce cancer and heart disease risk, plus prevent urinary tract infections! All that for a couple quarters a cup? Eat them as a snack or mix them into salads or cereals for a healthier meal!

Low-Fat Milk:

One eight-ounce glass of milk, which costs about 25 cents, is chock-full of nine essential nutrients, many of which most of us fall short, including bone-building calcium, heart-healthy potassium, and vitamin D.

Pinto Beans:

Costing just 13 cents a cup, pinto beans are a great addition to any chili and boast the highest antioxidant count of all beans! They’re also loaded with protein, fiber, and B vitamins!

Eggs:

Eggs are only 70 calories and cost less than a gum ball! At about 20 cents each they're one of the healthiest bargains around. Not only are they loaded with protein and antioxidants, eggs are a top dietary source of a vitamin called choline, which has been shown to promote brain health.

Black Tea:

Black tea only costs a nickel a bag and is worth every penny. The cheap beverage contains protective compounds called flavanoids that neutralize health-damaging particles called free-radicals, which help the health of every cell in our bodies.
